Am I the only one with horrible anxiety? r/o

[aces67]

I wouldn't start with the xanax. Anxiety is a natural response to stress unfortunately. Exercise of any kind will be helpful and keep the kids busy too. When you start stressing take the kids out for a long brisk walk. It will be great for all of you. I won't preach about xanax, there are just too many reasons not to take it. Do you have one person you can confide in, even if you don't give all the details? You need to have someone watching out for you, because if you do go over the edge you may not realize it.

Not really. With everything I've been through this year my family doctor wants me to at least see a counselor but I don't like to admit that I have a problem. If I ask my MIL to keep the kids once a week she's going to start asking questions. I'm hoping that if this BK will come to a close soon that will help me a LOT. I know it will take away some of my anxiety then hopefully I can work through the rest of it.

There are much safer meds to take than Xanax. Talk to your doctor about anti-depressants like Prozac. Prozac is now available generic so it's inexpensive and will probably help you cope with your current stress. It's not uncommon for one to become depressed following events such as deaths and financial strains.

Best of luck to you! It will get better!

I know all this. I used to work for a doctor who prescribed Xanax, pain pills and sleeping pills to every patient rather they needed it or not which is why I'm scared to take them.

you are right, the further you go into this process the better you will feel. You don't "have a problem" you trying to deal with are the most stressful situation ever!

I uh bolded the side effects that most people take this drug for, and also the above bold text that relates to the side effects.
Whats this drug prescribed for, oh anxiety, weird that it's also a side effect.


Take two mg, you won't give a ***t about anything.

Big hugs to all, you might even feel it, warm sensation is also a side effect.

Someone USED TO work for a doctor who prescribed this stuff, I PERSONALLY have taken it for 16 years. I don't even care about the percentages of each side effect, I've felt all of them at some point. Call the doctor, get the answer--take more and see me in two weeks.

Actually I cut it in1/4 and only been taking a 1/4 or 1/2 of 1 mg. I'm just so scared of the whole bk process........worried bout what they want before 341 worried about the 341 worried about what happens after 341, if I get a discharge or what???

[denisejohn65]

My anxiety is so bad today......I feel like quiting this whole thing.....I can't. Hearing July 20th 09....no letter in mail yet....I know the date cuz lawyer told me....

[fyi2]

Take a breath...blow it out wayyy out.. squeeze your fists to let that energy go somewhere.. is there something you should be doing right now? can you do it? if not ...take another breath blow it out wayyyyy out and try to accept that you cannot
... sigh...

[denisejohn65]

Thank you.....at times it can be a bit too much for me and BF. He is so good to me....and he bought me fudge for tonight. Cuz I have not been eating good. Anyone else out there lost a lot of weight?????? Stomach aches?? You know....the nasty cramps and such???? Ewwww

[bankruptsee]

I'll be filed tomorrow. I feel relieved that we've gotten the ball rolling. We just want to put this behind us and start living a cash-only life as much as possible.

[denisejohn65]

Did you do a 7? I filed and still feel no better.......I got picked for a random audit...I sent eveything in. They should get it Monday. Still feeling anxious......nervous....wonder if it will ever let up??? I hate feeling this way....I don't feel like myself anymore.

I'm sorry you're having such a hard time Denise. I know how nerve wracking it is to have to deal with "official" issues and scrutiny. Makes you wonder if you forgot to cross a T or dot an I. But I've just learned that you can't worry about things you can't control. It is frustrating that you got picked for the audit, but you sent your stuff in and now just need to relax till you have something to worry about. I know its hard to do but you will save your hair in the long run!

I've actually gained weight from all this... lol. Its expensive to eat healthy and I was already overweight to begin with. So, having to eat hamburger helper and ramen noodles isn't really helping my waist line!

[denisejohn65]

Hi all......last night was bad......I all of a sudden woke at 3am jumped out of bed and was so hot....It was weird. I started taking xanax... I have 1 mg and I cut it 1/4s I took a half before bed with my trazadone....I don't know....then I could hardly go back to sleep. After getting out of bed I was just so nervous.....thoughts racing about this BK...then I talked myself down...and the guy justbroke on here seems to help a lot with my questions and helps me feel better too.Afer talking myself down in the am is when I took the 1/4 of xanax. How is everyone else doing????

[liz417]

Gosh you guys, I feel so bad for you (Op and Denise). I KNOW this BK stuff can be stressful, but try to deep breathe every once in awhile. We all know what you are going through, we've been there...scared, coming to this board every night, reading everything, but you are going to realize that "what's going to happen, is going to happen" you can't change it, you can only deal with it as it unfolds...

My best and biggest hugs~
