So frustrated. Was fine this morning but a deep anxiety has crept up on me

Feel really, really stressed. Think last weeks events are still with me. My irritable bowel syndrome is going wild. Nights just mean bad dreams.

Had to cancel my appointments for the next week. Tbh I am really worried if I go outside something will happen again.

I am not as floridly upset as I was at the weekend but am not right either.

Maybe you need another AP to go with seroquel ?

Oh Iā€™m not paranoid. I mean I had a little slip up. But the problem is stress. Stress sets of my positive symptoms.

I had an acute thing at the weekend but now the residual stress isnā€™t shifting.

Am seeing dots in my vision. I always get this when really stressed - had it checked out in Edinburgh.

Are you still taking gabapentin for anxiety ?

Yeah. The gp gave me a weeks worth of diazepam but not sure if I should take it. I mean it is so hard to get prescribed it now I donā€™t want to waste it. If that makes sense?

Stress and anxiety kicks in my mental illness. It happened to me yesterday. I have to wait till it passes

Yes, that makes sense. It sounds like gabapentin is a bit rubbish though in that case.

All I can suggest is what Iā€™ve suggested before and thatā€™s ā€œbeta alanineā€. I take 1600mg in the morning and I have no anxiety till about 9pm. You could try that as a PRN. Experiment with it at your own risk though !

I think it has to do with poor diet. I starve myself so I donā€™t get fat. I eat two meals a day. Not enough nutrition

I agree with @everhopeful, maybe Seroquel is not enough.

Iā€™m really sorry that youā€™re suffering from anxiety; I also suffer from anxiety. That said, were these doctor appointments that you canceled? I ask because anxiety has a way of coming and going: you may feel much better in the morning.

Iā€™m just suggesting that maybe it would be a good idea to wait some before canceling doctor appointments.

I hope you feel better soon.

No they werenā€™t doctors appointments - nothing urgent. Sorry you have anxiety too.

Thatā€™s good news.

Will you watch a football match Saturday morning? Maybe youā€™ll feel better.
