Hate that feeling! Can you get away for a good hard walk or run, merry? How about a well placed snack? Yesterday I staved off an anxiety attack by some shaved swiss cheese on thin crisp whole wheat cackers and a big glass of V8. (Ugh that sounds like a Helpful Hint.)
Is there anything you can let go? I know it's hard around the holidays but I'm doing it anyway, even though it's embarrassing to do so and sometimes makes it hard for other people, which smarts for a bit. Otherwise I'd be double bonkers, despite going up on Topamax. Or maybe because of, boy does that stuff make me mean.
When I see the pdoc afer Christmas I'm going to ask for another mood stabilizer to augment Top. 200 mgs Wellbutrin is about all I can handle--300 is crazy making, and Klonopin can be addictive or lose its punch, hence the cheese and crackers.
Check out the alternative board--there are some suggestions there that might be helpful. I'm scarfing down a capsule of Omega 3 fish oil, too, but it's too soon to see if that helps.
Keep us posted
Bonkers II
