Arghh. It's been a rough day and I'm annoyed with myself. Woke up at 5am with a screaming sinus headache from the pressure change...had to take a Sudafed 12hr and some advil. Woke up at 7am to take my regular meds and feed the dogs. Then at 9am I was still tired but couldn't sleep anymore so I got up. Headache was still bad so I took 2 Excedrin.

The kicker is, for almost a month I've been totally off caffeine. Then, this morning, I take a strong sudafed and 2 excedrin. How dumb am I??? Within an hour my heart was racing and was was totally edgy and having some serious anxiety. An hour later I put together what I had done so that made me feel a little better, but the physical symptoms are still making me anxious. I babysat 2 screaming children for a friend and my nerves are totally frazzled. On top of that I have PMS and had a really bad week at work last week, both of which probably contributed to the headache as well.

The sun is finally out now that it's 6pm, so I'm going for a walk to clear my head b/c it's been a typical rainy German day.

So, somebody share something funny or great that happened to them this weekend to counteract my venting...plus I could use a good smile or laugh :)

I hope you're feeling better! I know you started this thread because you needed some cheering up but I think we should keep it going to have something happy to read all the time. We all care about one another and hope that we are all happy so let's keep sharing. I had a good weekend but my good news is from today. Today is my first day in 7 years that I will not be taking any xanax. I have weaned myself off. It's almost 8PM and I feel okay. I'm getting a little nervous every time I think about the fact that I'm not taking any xanax but I'm belly breathing and I'm doing okay. DH and I found a new church two weeks ago and it has changed a lot for me. The pastor and his wife came to our house and visited us tonight. It was wonderful. I was feeling the anxiety creep up but after their visit I feel great. It's nice to be at a place in my life where I can have faith and that faith can help me overcome what's going on with me. I hope everyone else is doing good too. I'll be sure and update yall on my xanax-free day.
Hugs

Thanks Jan! We can hope and pray right! It's almost bedtime and I keep telling myself that if I can do it today then tomorrow will be easier and the next day easier still and then it won't be something to overcome. It will just be.
