Suffering from terrible anxiety 😰

Lounge
1

Every time something changes. I get anxious. I have recently started a new job in a supermarket and i cant take the politics and people leaving all the time. I cant take change and it drives me mad. I feel so sad i feel like my anxiety has ruined my life. I dont know what to do. I cant understand why i am like this. I wish i never changed jobs :sleepy:

I got anxious today as well. Took a benzo.

Things seem to be sorted for today and I will go to bed early, hoping things will be better tomorrow.

I don’t think they’re suitable if you have a mood disorder like bipolar or sza, so be careful!

True, light boxes can worsen bipolar disorder, inducing manic symptoms4 and mixed states,5 just like any antidepressant. But in that event, they are easy to turn off! And, true, they are not safe for all patients: those with macular degeneration or even a family history thereof should probably avoid using them.

Yeah agreed light therapy makes me manic as hell really really fast and one time I got paranoid on it and thought people were making fun of me and laughing at me I got incredibly mad and left then I got grandiose idea I’d be able to run a business and went on a shopping spree and bought a expensive coffee maker thinking I could start a business bigger than Starbucks on that same time luckily I was able to return it too Amazon which is where I bought it from
