Having a Hard time getting to work today

Hello Everyone,

I have been off of work the last two days due
to starting the higher dose of Zoloft and having
a ton of anxiety. The doctor gave me more xanax
yesterday to relieve this anxious feeling. I've
only been taking the Zoloft for 1 and 1/2 weeks.

I wish it were easier to just snap out of this and
get myself into that factory. I have a lot of anxiety
with my job. It can be a tough and dirty environment.

Do you think I should take the rest of the week off and
hope that the zoloft will be working by then?

Thank you for any advice,
Ann

Hi Jan,

Yes, I did take the rest of the week off.
Tommorow I will go back and hope that I can
be strong.

I've been taking the zoloft religiously. I'll
probably have to take some xanax but tomorrow I
will be back to work.

I found a meeting in the area that I want to
attend today. It's for "Recovery" but I thought that
it would be nice to talk with other women about
anything.
I don't like the way that I feel "unsafe" about
going certain places. I just want to feel comfortable
doing everyday things.

Thanks Jan,
Ann

There's no such thing as having too much support, Ann. I think meeting others who have been through the fire is a great idea.


You will move past these unsafe feelings, as you get more positive experiences under your belt. It's kind of like learning to walk all over again. You will have a bit of anxiety nipping @ your heels @ first, but once you know that you have control over how the fear effects you, they will be the everyday things you remember. Good luck @ work & let us know how it goes. Sending P&PT's your way. (((hugs))) jan
