Hello everyone

I just wanted to post here about the day I have had.

I was at a restaurant this morning and it was extremely busy, and we had to wait for a good 1/2 hour before seating.
this caused me extreme anxiety while waiting, I felt like I wanted to run away from there, or a feeling of jumping out of my skin. I am on celexa right now, just started it 3 days ago.

Just wondering if the impatience I have is causing my anxiety, it was really bad today. My friend said he could see it in my face. I hate how small things are soooo big to me. That is the most annoying thing. Worrying about my anxiety, and if people can see it causes me even more anxiety, and it is all self inflicted.

Anyway, don't want to get upset about it again. Just wondering if you have any thoughts on this (advice) what-have-you? :faint:

Thanks

why r u getting so upset?

Are things running thru your head and if so what is it?

Well its hard to explain. I have a hard time explaining my feelings.

I will try...hmm

Its like I have none I mean zero patience. I need some coping mechinisms to help me with this.

I can't even make my posts long on here because I get impatient and bored. Its like I just want to post and get it over with. Sorry, just trying to explain what it feels like.

The restaurant was crowded too and I just wanted to go and eat and leave.

Oh by upset, I just mean worked up not like breaking down or anything. Just annoyed.

I get sleep anxiety - i hate going to sleep and work myself up to the point i can't even sleep. (Hard for me to explain exactly what goes thru my head too)

Missfit,

I hate trying to go to sleep too. I was like this since I was a teenager. When I tried to go to sleep I would think about everything I did that day, or was going to do.

The thing that helps me to get to sleep now is, I never ever lie in bed until its time for me to go to sleep. I don't have a tv in my room or would be there all day like i used to in highschool.

But now I have a habit of taking a gravol every night an hour before I go to bed. Maybe it is all in my mind, but I think it helps.

Hey this is off topic but do you know of any place in the toronto area that I can go to for peer coaching?



Thanks

Not a clue - i only see a neropsychitrist for my ADD and anxiety.

Tried a psychologist etc to talk about things but i didn't find it all that effective

Stimulation overload!! My husband has started getting it more since being Adderall. He doesn't mind not going to places like Disneyland but he was very disturbed not to be able to go to the grand opening of Cabellas.

I'm sorry you feel this way, hon. I know the jumping out of my skin feeling too well. I can't sit still through a church service without getting up ,and waiting at the doctor for more than 10 minutes is very hard for me.

Went to the OBYGN the other week and it took an hour to see the doctor. I felt as if I was going to bounce around the room and I felt extremely agitated. It felt like torture. I hate to wait and everybody else can sit still without getting up or swinging their feet, jiggling their legs, or squirming around. I wonder if anybody can notice how restless I am.

As for the worry, I worry about every little thing you can think of. I overanalyze stuff and go through all the what ifs in my mind. I also can create the worse case scenario and almost always expect the very worse.

I often can't sleep at night because of all the thoughts crowded in my mind. I get so overwhelmed.

I definately know how you feel.

By the way my current med cocktail is lexapro.. taking adderall for a few more days and only God knows what drug I am taking next and if it will work and if medicaid will cover it. My adderall is being banned. I don't know if it is everywhere but they are pulling it off the shelves here. I am sooo thrilled- NOT!!!

Sorry for the vent. I need to vent a little bit. Hopefully I can calm down and relax a bit tonight.

Thanks Jett,

What is great about these forums, is that people are so supportive and willing to help. Makes me feel like I am not alone in this, and it really helps.

I am not dx'd with ADHD yet, I am current diagnosed with depression and anxiety. I have an appt. with a physcologist next week.

Thank you for your help, it means a lot when there are people out there willing to help and care about people they haven't even met. Gives me more faith.

Maybe some Mindfulness and Distress Tolerance training could help you? Some Grounding techniques?

Grade A, I'm on Risperdal, and it has relieved about 40-60% of my anxiety.
Unfortunately, it also causes weight gain.
