REALLY BAD DAY
14
Mon, 08-01-2005 - 5:27pm
I HAVE SO MANY PROBLEMS THAT IT IS BETTER JUST TO SLEEP- TAKE A TRANQUILIZER AND SLEEP. NO PAIN, ANXIETY, DEPRESSION OR PANIC WHEN I SLEEEP. MY LIFE IS SUCH A MESS- I AM SUCH A FAILURE. I JUST WANT TO SLEEP. NO FEELINGS OF WORTHLESSNESS OR REMORSE WHEN I SLEEP.

elaine,


i can chat later if you need. YOU are NOT a failure. You are a wonderful caring person..we all have bad days. Geeze go back in the archives and read all my posts from the beginning. You'd be amazed at all the posts and things.


Sometimes sleep does seem like the best thing but we know its NOT. YOU HAVE to keep going and fight this thing we call anxiety. I have NEVER let it stop me completely and I had to fight like hell just to stay afloat. I wanted to stay home and not leave, it was to hard to leave. BUT I made myself do the "normal" things that I like to do. I didn't enjoy it at the time and I was petrified but I did it.


I had a small panic attack outside of walmart while waiting in the car and i never wanted to go back to walmart.,but i did.


I wonder Elaine if you are religious? I have found so much comfort in that. of course I have BAD days but I try my harderst to give it up to God. Easier said then done I know. If you are I will send you a few bible passages that my pastor gave me, it might be of some comfort to you.


Elaine, would you be willing to share what happened today? I want to help you.


YOU ARE NOT worthless or a FAILURE. You are a special person whi is just going through some hard times.


If you want to chat later I can after 8:30. Let me know...


Lots of (((HUGS)))


BTW where are you from? Just curious

Elaine, I'm so sorry you are having such a bad day. There were lots of days in the beginning when I WOULD stay in bed & just couldn't function. The xanax helped pull me out of that. But it took awhile. Alot of us here have been through the same exact thing & we are here to help you through it as well. I can meet you in chat, too. Just post if you want to meet.

Hugs,Hugs & more hugs

Elaine one of the most difficult places to get yourself into is the "helpless" place.

I am sorry to hear this, Elaine. I have been where you are & it's rough. Remember you aren't alone.


I have to agree with Suz, that you need to be proactive. Do NOT allow yourself to stay down. Even if you have to keep to a plan for only

thank you everyone for showing me that i am not the only person to go through this and that most of you all have been in a place like this and have fought your way out. my mind really gets the best of me. i guess i am also still adjusting to the different meds i've been on in the last 3 weeks- it's hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel- sorry i could not chat last night- i was sleeping- but i don't really feel any beter this morning for doing that- it was very kind of you all to want to chat- i just see myself as a worthless 40 year old with not many choices left and alot of anxiety, panic and depression. i am from connecticut and have been religious in the way past- growing up- but now actually am trying tosearch for faith again. my kids are my world. i have put 100% into them for the past 17plus years.
