Yes, small steps at a time is often the best way.

Let us know how your doc appointment goes :)

Thank you for the responses.

I am going to try to challenge my negative thoughts or at least let them through without judgement. It is so hard right now with my brain whirling.

My daughter hates school and it is a struggle to get her going every morning, so that is stressful. She will be fine, I hope. I just don't have a lot of faith in people. I assume the worst in them and they do tend to live up to that. There are some rare gem people who are kind at least. I have a fairly negative view on life I suppose.

I tend to let things build up and then need to vent. I don't have any friends outside of my husband, so I am fairly isolated. Add some social anxiety into the mix, and that is why I don't join anything to meet new people. I would like to join an OA mtg for example, I drove to a meeting last week. I then drove through the parking lot and went shopping, which was good because I forced myself into talking to people at the checkouts, who were fairly chatty. I have been in OA for about 3 years and lost some weight initially, but I find that when I am really anxious and/or depressed, sometimes I turn to food.

Today I have a doctor appt. I was trying to get off of my medication in order to start a new one but just couldn't. I take amitriptaline at night which helps me to not clench my jaw and so prevents migraines. We lowered the dose, and things were fine, except I felt a growing pain my my face and neck over about 2 weeks and then a mega migraine hit. A whole day of pain and throwing up. It was horrible, one of the worst I ever had. So I made an appt and just took the regular dose and now no migraines lately. So I am kind of stuck.

I take citalopram in the morning and I have found that it just doesn't do much. So I am hoping my dr will allow me to change that one instead. She had suggested propranolol as a replacement to the amitriptaline.

It is funny but I am afraid that my doctor will get mad at me for not lowering the dose etc. I always have this huge fear of getting in trouble.

I am going to try to set small goals and manage things as they happen. I keep overloading myself.

One step at a time,

Kendra

Hi.

I don't suppose it would help to say those thoughts go through every parents mind. Three weeks. It is going to be tough. I imagine you checked out the school. Does she like school? I liked school but was bored so I dropped out. I wasn't bullied, I would have broke their face. She has to go to school somewhere. I would think they are pretty much all the same. You know it is going to be alright once she is settled and any problems you will fix, that is what moms do on top of worry. So you vent, and we will support.

I have been off work for the summer. I work at a school so I have July and August off, which sounds nice, but for me not having the routine is not good for my nerves. I am going back to work Sept 8. This will be my third year at the same place. I am nervous, but I recognize that it is just because of my change of routine etc. I really love the work I do, so I am just nervous for nervousnesses sake?

My real anxiety right now is about my daughter. She starts Grade 9 in a new school, in English (she was previously in french immersion which was horrible). For some reason I am triggered into thinking back about my own schooling. I hated school. I avoided it, faked sick, skipped etc. I just hated it. I was bullied and so I just wasn't into it at all. Now I am afraid for my daughter. I am making myself sick thinking about her going to school. I am afraid for her. I know she is not me, but I can't stop obsessing about it. What happens if she is stabbed? takes drugs? gets bullied? I am so fearful for her. I am covering this up as much as possible. She is nervous but recognizes that this is normal etc. She has friends who are also going to that school though not in the English program. She is happy to be in English as it means a lot less public speaking.

I just keep having panic attacks in sympathy! She is handling it way better than me. I am a wreck.

Help!

Kendra
