my anxiety

Posted by happyat76 @happyat76, Feb 25, 2018

Does anyone panic over everything? I have been suffering from anxiety for 50 years or more, but lately, I freak out over every little thing and can't seem to stop myself. My hearing is getting worse and when I can't hear something, I get so upset and start panicking. If I have to go out and meet new people, I start panicking. I am not sleeping very well lately and am still taking 60 mg. of Prozac every day. I am going to see my Psychiatrist this coming Wednesday and I hope that he can help me out. I have told him before how I get the shakes so badly sometimes. My whole body trembles for no apparent reason. He hasn't helped me with a lot of my problems. My mind is always racing, thinking about all kinds of stuff, day and night. Sometimes I go to bed at 9 p.m. and am still awake at 4 a.m. I get up at 9 a.m. so I feel tired all of the time. I feel like I am going crazy sometimes. Any advice or thoughts on this would be very much appreciated. I love to stay in my home and away from people. I have a wonderful husband who doesn't understand me at all. I love animals much more than people. I am Vegan because of how I feel about the killing of animals. Thanks everyone.

@happyat76 Wow, you have a lot to deal with! Since you’re seeing the doc on Wednesday, start now and write things in a notebook that you can take with. Write what you were feeling, what happened yesterday and today. Date it. Then write about today, tomorrow write about tomorrow. Keep a list each day. It’s better to go to doc prepared! Write down any questions you might have and put down the answers in your notebook.
I’ll keep thinking of things from my days as a nurse.

I made some mistakes in posting this about my problem. I take Plavix for thinning my blood, not for depression. I take Prozac for depression and I take Remeron, not Romero for sleeping. I want everyone to know that I am not taking Prozac, nor Remeron at the moment and I am doing pretty good. I am using CBD oil and it has helped me greatly.

@happyat76: how is CBD oil taken? Rubbed on skin? Ingested?

This is my Wookie. That's his very first baby name. I hope it shows up because he has helped me so much. He deserves to have a picture here. Dany

Thinking of you today as I look at the cute picture of your little Wookie dog, @danybegood1. Wondering how you and he are doing?
