Confused

[Angels333]

Hi, I'm new the forum and I'm struggling today. I see my psychiatrist on Thursday but it feels like a daily battle to get to there.

Hi @Angels333,

Sorry you are having a hard time of it. Is it anxiety that is bothering you again today as it was the other night on the forum? When I'm anxious I sometimes use breathing techniques to help me calm down. Going for a walk. Taking a bath. These are just a few ideas since I don't know much detail about what you are feeling right now or what you might have tried before to assist with it. Maybe talking about it more might be of help to you. Wishing you well.

Thank you Mazarita.

Yes, it is anxiety. I'm watching tv with my husband and daughter which helps. I don't want to be ungrateful in life but I just find things difficult to understand.

That sounds nice to be relaxing with husband and daughter. We have the Edinburgh Tattoo on at the moment (ABC). What's on at your place? Feel free to talk more about the confusion and what may be giving rise to it if you wish. Here listening and hoping the confusion and anxiety ease for you.

We're watching flash. I live with a family of sci-fi fans. I would like to talk it's difficult though. Maybe someday

It's good to have other people who understand 🙂

@Angels333 I'm not really into the Edinburgh Tattoo but partner is so I'm letting him. I often end up on the computer with the TV on in the background. Whenever you want to talk more, we're here. 🙂

Thanks 🙂

I saw my dr yesterday. I really haven't been doing very well Dr said I might need more intensive therapy and I'm not sure what that means. He noticed my anxiety was very high and he actually said he was reluctant to let me leave his office like that. Just having him say that I very nearly burst into tears. I am so tired of this anxiety I haven't done anything productive all week. I have been seeing my dr (psychiatrist) every 4 weeks when he booked my appointment he said I might need a sooner appointment. I am so exhausted.

Hi @Angels333

It's great that your Doctor has noticed and wants to take action. You don't deserve this exhaustion and anxiety.

Are there any strategies or techniques that relieve the symptoms (even for a short time?)
Or do any members have any strategies they can share?
