Creepy crawly anxiety

I am feeling so icky right now. I can feel the anxiety coming on like impending doom. Without the pressures of school I was able to somewhat handle the occasional panic attack and mild to moderate anxiety. But with all this school business my anxiety is through the roof and I am trying to keep the panic at bay.
This week is going to be hectic, I have so much going on with kids and school and no way to cut back. Is there a med that you can take on a "as needed" basis. I think I could use something for these rough times but do not want to be on daily meds. Maybe I just need a regular therapist/counselor. I am glad that the mind/body challenge starts tomorrow. I could use some new ideas. Things sould let up in a couple weeks and I do graduate in May. Trying to think positive.
Thanks for listening,
Lisa



I am sorry Lisa that your not feeling so well. It seems that we all have our ups and downs, those times are when my therapist helps me most, she puts things into perspective for me and makes things seem not so bad... ex. When my p/a 1st started i had a mini one while taking my daily walk, since then I have been so afraid to take my walk. One day we were talking about that and she reminded me that I walk everyday, just not that route BUT I do walk everyday. That made me feel better and i have since only walked once but that has been due to lack of time.
I take klonopin on a daily basis but certinally people take it only as needed. Maybe you can talk to you Dr about it, but i suspect that you will get the most out of some meds as well as a therapist.
Hugs,
