Thought I was doing better

Calla

Day before Thanksgiving. I was thinking the Fisher Wallace Stimulator was working for me, but now I'm having a really hard day. We're not even going to, or having a dinner tomorrow-not enough family where I am. I'm feeling extremely anxious and not good. Thought I'd go down to the cemetary where I saw a bunch of turkies the other day, but it's only a few blocks, and yet too far for me to walk. Therre was no parking all around there. I feel so scared. Husband's home, but he has intense interests he works on and I'm afraid for the whole long weekend. Please, somebody, "Does anyone else feel down today?

You're not alone. I had a rough night last night with all I have going on and also thinking about the lonely holiday I'll be having. I was up most of the night with a panic attack. It's tough being alone and without plans, especially during the holidays. I have to work on Thanksgiving so it will give me something to do. If not, and I felt better, maybe I would volunteer somewhere. Hang in there.

I was doing great. Now, all of a sudden my anxiety level is through the roof. I'm retired and live with my husband, but I get so lonely and scared these long weekends. I just want to feel better.

I am right there with you this time. I was so looking forward to it, me and my parents had planned to go with my daughter out to eat for thanksgiving, but we would be together. my dad doesn't have much longer to live, he is very sick, fatally sick. But my daughter prefers to have thanksgiving with her father's side of the family, who couldn't give a fucking damn about whether she lives or dies, who have NEVER supported her in any way, and especially not financially, I've gone without my whole life for her, and she is doing this to me, OOOOh and waited until yesterday to tell me.

The Fisher Wallace Stimulator worked so far. Itt's truly unbelievable because I never felt this way before-just normal with no suicide ideation, no wishing I could fall asleep and never wake up, plus a comp-letely "normal" way of reacting to things. So far, it has been a godsend.
