Something's wrong

Post Reply New Topic

I don't know exactly what right now. Probably nothing. It's probably my anxiety rearing its ugly head.

I've had this exact feeling thousands of times before; I feel like something's wrong - earth shatteringly wrong and I need to do something about it but I just don't know exactly what is wrong and what to do about it..

I guess it's been a collection of stressors over the past few hours. Olivia's not having a very good day. She's having meltdowns. I didn't get much sleep last night. I forgot to take my Effexor yesterday and anyone whose on Effexor knows if you skip a dose, you pay for it. My friend/neighbor is having meds adjusted so he's not sleeping well and I'm concerned for him. Just a stressful day all around.

I'm concerned about taking an Ativan or a Vistaril because it'll make me sleepy and I have to watch Olivia until 3:30 when my wife gets out of work. I guess I'll just take one Ativan see how it goes.

tips/pointers?

Sounds like an anxiety attack or panic attack.

WebMd's description.

They are no fun, and in my case are confounded by a dairy allergy. I was at Wal-Mart once and all the sudden I was SURE I was going to have something horrible happen to me if anyone talked to me. My heart sped up and I about passed out. It's called a feeling of "impending doom". Pretty scary stuff there. Best thing to do is to realize what it is so you can say, "hey my body is overreacting here, I need to calm down a bit." Even if it doesn't get rid of the attack you know that it's not real and that you are just freaking out, helps some.
