like curl up into a little ball and hide there kind of down, unable or unwilling to do more than that.
I will sleep now.

It's a difficult time for you. It would be difficult for anyone. Sometimes all you can do is batten down the hatches and survive.
Can you see your therapist more often? Or tweak your meds a bit? (Have there been any recent med changes?)
And curl into a little ball when you need to. In the warmest place you can find.

You know what is funny? Not ha ha funny of course., I went to pick up the effexor at the pharmacy and my new insurance Company wants " preauthorization" before they will cover it. I take 75 mgs xr twice a day generic. I would like to see them take the "xr" version once a day and see how they feel. Pdoc is off now of course so I suppose I will pay for a week out of pocket. I told the pharmacist that my insurance company is rude and I liked my last one better.
I have got the slow moving, staring blankly thing going on, so this feels very physical. I will try to fake it through Christmas. I have to just get through this for a while and hope it passes.

Yeah, I will just go with the most "ball like" position I can manage. Thanks Alex.

I have mastered the ball like position very well. Maybe because I am so short.

my anxiety level is like wickedly high. It was high like this before I got as depressed as I did, which was only that bad for a couple of days. I am afraid, afraid, afraid.
work tomorrow? no work tomorrow?
I am obsessed with how people don't like me. If I could, I'd go out and run. I have got to find some peace. My head is buzz, buzz, buzz...
I feel trapped. :-(
for now, here comes that damn seroquel

> for now, here comes that damn seroquelYou are not complaining. You are simply posting how you feel. Sound like life is rough for you right now. Do you use the Seroquel for anxiety? I hate when my head is buzz buzz all over the place. It's very hard to anything when that happens. Are you getting any sleep at all? I doubt that you are getting very much, and that just makes everything worse.
Can you see your doctor before things get out of control? Will work be okay with you taking a day off?
I hope you find some peace very soon. It's what I hope for everyone on this board including myself. Send me a babble mail any time. *hugs*

> Can you see your doctor before things get out of control? Will work be okay with you taking a day off?my t and pdoc are off this week. I did stay home, but there was a blizzard, so work is fine with me staying home.
I do use the seroquel for anxiety, my pdoc says it helps keep my mood from going all over the place.
I can sleep, thanks to the seroquel. I took a little extra last night. It just might be what my pdoc would say to do.
I don't understand why I get like this.
thanks Maxime, I appreciate your understanding very much. :-)> I hope you find some peace very soon. It's what I hope for everyone on this board including myself. Send me a babble mail any time. *hugs*
I hope you find some peace soon too.

>I am glad you have the Seroquel. You know, when I suffer from anxiety it seems like it comes from nowhere ... just out of the blue. But I get it under control (usually need a med) and I can look back on my day and see how, why and when my anxiety happened. Then I journal. I do this so that if I find myself in a similiar situation, there will be less of a chance of feeling anxious in that situation.
Hang in there and be kind to yourself.

How are you doing today? Any better? Any worse? I am thinking of you.

Thanks for thinking of me :-)
I got a little more sleep last night and I will try to get more again tonight. I am anxious, but not like I was. I am not having an 'everyone hates me' and I am a horrible person attack.
I am still pretty tired. A lot less overwhelmed though.
Thanks

Hey there, you haven't posted in a while, so I thought I would check up on you. Are you feeling any better now that the holidays are over? (thank goodness!).
I just wanted you to know that I have been thinking of you and hoping that you are feeling a bit better.
