Severe Stress/Anxiety/Insomnia

Posted by EdCork @yangedd, Jan 30, 2019

Hi guys,

Will update on my previous topic soon.

Right. For like the past week my stress/anxiety/insomnia have hit the roof. I'm over wraught, absolutely exhausted and have a mixture of symptoms such as severe stomach problems (Upset, the runs, acid and nausea), trembling hands, dry mouth, absolutely horrific migraines and an all out feeling of impending doom which is terrifying me (Paranoid feelings also, which are a part of BPD when you're stressed) so I'm up in a heap. My Doctor is away for the week so I ended up at the Pharmacy in such a state and told her I was about to bang my head off the wall and felt like vomiting. She was absolutely great on fairness and sold me a pill called "Excedrin", a mix of Paracetamol, Asprin and Caffeine. It's after taking a lot of the pain away but unfortunately I'm still left feeling shaky, sick, anxious, stressed and exhausted. It's not even 6pm here and I'm actually in my PJs and in bed as I write this. I just don't feel any bit sociable and have been ignoring phone calls because I don't have the mind to interact with anyone. I'm so sorry if it sounds like I'm complaining, but I just wanted to let people know what's going on for me (Mum's 9th anniversary is in four weeks too which has me even more upset). I promise to update on everything else soon. I don't have the energy to go into it now,

Hey people,

I was with my Doctor today for my repeat prescription and a change was noticed in me. True, I may have been slightly high (To which I'm convinced I've smoked a different strain today) but I was relaxed. I'm off Propranolol now and Lyrica has thankfully reduced to just 25mg twice daily. I don't seem to be too nervous although a little edgy on occasion. It's good though.

After my dramatic and highly tense altercation with my Psychiatrist last week I have launched a staggering and blistering verbal assault upon her team as I still desperately seek to console myself.

Hey people,

I only managed to get to the pharmacy this morning, but just took Omeprazole, Lyrica and Seroquel so should be good until this evening.

Has anyone ever been slightly uncomfortable with the shopkeeper in their local store? He's really yanno kinda creepy and I dreaded stopping off in there again after the Pharmacy to get milk. C'mon man you don't need that creepy flirting when your standing there paranoid off your head and nearly vibrating with anxiety as you edge closer to him. A very attractive man no doubt, but you don't want that when you're trying to buy milk in peace.

Will most likely update again either this evening or tomorrow morning. It's been a few days since I took meds so they have kinda knocked me a little and I could use a nice nap to go with them,

I'm happy that you're sounding l little better Ed. I was wondering about your post saying the guy at your local grocery seemed weird to you. I wasn't sure if I was reading your post correctly. What about him was bothering you? Do you have an idea of why you felt that way?

Do you have a job Ed? If so, what do you do? If not, how do you spend your time? I hope you can keep your adrenaline under control with your new medications. Please let me know how you're doing. By the way, I live in the Los Angeles area. I think you live in the UK from what I read. Hold onto your peace.

Hi @gailb and others

I don't work at the moment because of the way everything is. I usually spend my time doing a lot of writing.

Oh that guy at the shop. Yeah yanno, it's like he singles me out. It's very uncomfortable.

I only smoked two this morning because I needed to go the post office and I was highly anxious.

PLEASE ED only use CANNABIS OIL as POT is a known vehicle to increase ones levels of anxieties and Paranoia.

Hi @sirgalahad

I'm afraid I don't know a thing about oils.

I was a little paranoid these past two days actually because I read an article online about the hospital I was in in Dublin and how one of the patients from the Psych ward was murdered after taking the same route to the village as I did many times. That kind of made me fall into a bit of negativity and yanno paranoia. It's awful that it invades my thoughts and sometimes things seems so dark and sinister.
