Overwhelmed with anxiety today

Geez it’s bad. I was so tired this morning I drank two cups of coffee, now I’m overwhelmed with anxiety. It’s like 92 degrees and I think that makes me anxious but yeah, what do you do when the meds don’t work?

I’ve been having a lot of anxiety attacks recently. Just out of nowhere I feel adrenaline rush through me, I start shaking and sweating.

I’ve been trying to avoid benzos and just ride it out. Deep breathing and what-not.

Do you think it’s from our withdrawals?

I took the benzo today so can’t be withdrawals

It’s just the benzo isn’t working :confused:

I’ve come to terms with the fact I’m gonna need a small dose of benzos for life. My anxiety used to be REALLY bad…now it’s improved

I think it’s the heat

Let’s trade weather turtle

Ok, it’s too cold here for me recently!

I’m going interstate to see my parents next week for a long weekend. They live further north where I’m from. So I will be warmer for a few days!

Up there if it drops to 9 degrees overnight they don’t shut up about how cold it is. Down here we regularly get days where it’s 12 degrees during the day in winter.

Plus it’s a bleak, grey, rainy winter. Perfect for seasonal affective disorder.

Hmmm I assume you’re talking Celsius

Doesn’t sound too bad. Here it gets to 9 degrees Fahrenheit during the winter during the day…even less. It’s brutal

Where I’m moving they only have one snowstorm a year!

My anxiety always comes at nighttime. That’s when all of my fears about everything escalate.

Yes celsius! Sorry, I should have clarified.

Winter does sound brutal where you are. Do you prefer winter or summer? I like the in between months, autumn and spring.
