What A Night!

[Janet]

I've not had anxiety attacks Gina, so I'm sorry I can't help you. Maybe talk to your Dr. about some meds like Diana.

[Gina]

Diana , I didnt realize that you get aniexty that bad. I feel for you. Thanks Janet for your input. I don't get it bad just once in awhile and when I do. It makes me very agitated especially if its a night. I think Gucci was just hot she fine today... Sleeping of course lol...

[Ponyup]

You sound like me. The more I can't sleep the more I worry about the fact that I can't sleep which continues to keep me awake. it usually starts by me worring about something, but then I can't stop my brain. My doctor perscribed me xanax. It helps; I only take half a pill when I absolutely have too. It sounds like something has you worried because frequent urination is a sign of anxiety. I recently started seeing a therapist because I was worring so bad about something that I wouldn't sleep or eat for weeks at a time. Some things I've read also say to stop trying to go to sleep & get up and do somethng & that you'll go to sleep when you're tired.

Oh how scary! I'm glad little Gucci is doing better today. I'm sorry that you have anxiety attacks. That sounds awful! I hope you are able to finds medication that can help.

You could probably get some meds to take just when you're having trouble or maybe try a Tylenol PM. If you only take one then you don't wake up so groggy the next morning. See if that works first before getting a prescription.

I take an old prescription drug called Trazodone. It's on the list at Wal-mart to get really cheap. I tried Xanax but it's addictive and I wasn't comfortable with it. I also tried Zoloft. It worked great but I had other side-effects that I wasn't happy with. I've been on the Trazodone for several years and I haven't had any trouble with it.

I hope that you find something to help. Anxiety problems are not any fun.

Oh, Gina, so sorry you had a bad night. We should have gotten the chat room together. I usually sleep through the night, no problem, but last night, I couldn't get Melissa's wedding out of my mind and all that needs to be done. I'm at work today, ready for 5:00 so I can hurry home and get to work. I tossed and turned all night. Don't know how much sleep I got.

Only had one anxiety attack, at least that's what they think it was. It happened last year and they thought I'd had a heart attack. Had all kinds of tests, even one that is experimental and not covered by insurance, and they say I'm very healthy, must have just been an anxiety attack.

I feel for anyone who has a problem with these. It was not fun at all!!!

Hope tonight is better for you!!!

Gina I hope you and Gucci feel better and get some rest.

Marilyn I remember all the worries about the last details of the wedding and trying to make sure everything was done. No matter how much you try something will come up that you didn't expect. It will all turn out beautiful anyway. When Angela got married everything was going wrong the day before the wedding. I know we want their day to be absolutely beautiful and special which I am sure it will be. Someone told us "the wedding day is not what is the most important it is the life after the wedding." Very wise words when we were so stressed. It won't be long till you are telling us how fantastic it was. And of course showing us beautiful pictures!!!
