I think I might need to change my meds or something. I can never relax. Even when I exercise and eat healthy something in me shifts and I have zero chill. I can’t sit still and relax enough to even play video games or anything. I actually want to play the game too but my body feels so tense that I can’t sit down and play it. I’m seeing my psychiatrist tomorrow so hopefully they can help somehow. I’m doubtful though. They seem to think that I’m not making enough effort on my part to improve my life. Which is ■■■■■■■■. I started a new job the other day and had to leave becuase I had a massive panic attack and couldn’t comprehend or follow simple instruction. There’s something wrong with me and I want to feel normal and good for once damnit! I’m currently on an abilify injection and an antidepressant but I think one of those is causing more strife than helping me.
It’s a hard thing but it’s worth a shot to try something else for better function. I’ve done it a bit and sometimes it was worse but it was worthwhile when it improved my function. Talk to your doctor and get them onboard with trying something to help. There’s no real rythme or reason to it but sometimes you’ve just got to try.
I’m sorry…I too had panic attacks and it left me alone in my apt. with no way to leave without my mother going with me…I went through therapy that taught me you fight the panic and anxiety by ignoring or “unplugging” the fear associated with anxiety and panic and once you learn to overcome the fear the panic goes away…sounds hard and isn’t easy…it’s a mind game…kind of like learning to surf on big waves…
