Hi Julie. my anxiety is always worse in the morning. You wake up wondering if you are going to feel anxious. I am in diazepam and propranolol to help and some days are ok and others not so much. its really hard but i just try to focus on the moment and not that it will be like this every day. i got through it before and I will again. If there us anything that brings you comfort focus on that. I find watching certain tv programs ( that i normally wouldn't watch ) help. have you thought about therapy?? I think its a good way to help us when the bad days start. What dose of diazepam are you on?? I am on 2mg 3 times a day. the propranolol helps with the heart palpitations. I also find i get a nervous Stomach so as soon as that starts i find it hard to gain control. Its a battke but we will all get through it. Have tou got support around you?? Always here to listen. Jo

Thanx Joanne, i take 2.5mg 2 times a day but I decided not to take propernol again because it made me soo tired, The psychiatrist prescribed me promethazine instead, I can take 2 10mg a day they are better, belive it or not they are an antihistamines but work. I was so disappointed that I had to get back on diazepam again. I've done all the therapies group you can think of. I was on ven before and it did work its just frustrating that they take so long to kick in

you will get better your right in throws of it all, im on venlafaxine it was god awful in the first 8 weeks, every side effect I had, im only now experiencing physical anxiety, you have to keep resting don't over do it, I went to bed early to rest my brain, diazepam for 2 months every day! set myself small tasks a day at a time, definitely kept my diary going, its endless, time is so daunting wen in the throws of it but small improvements happen slowly, glad u eating, I read reviews after reviews almost obsessed, but the help. Did you say you haven't eaten for 11 days?? please eat if u can, u need energy, I know exactly how u feel , my breakdown was crushing and cruel. You will get through this keep talking to me if you need to !

thanks for your kind words. i am going to ring my drs to see if they can suggest a shake/supplement to help until my appetite is back. i am worried my drs wont allow me to have diazepam for much longer. i have decided to rest more. having covid has knocked it out of me along with the anxiety. thanks for your support
