Rough day today.
Last night, I took 5 mg. of valium before work. I was mostly fine the whole night with a few moments, but I got by and felt good going home and this morning and partially through my workout. I did not need it during the day and usually do not. Just mainly in stressful situations.
Then I began to really feel anxious amongst many people there. The feeling progressed and then I was done with my workout. I then travelled across town and became anxious at stop lights. I did take 1/2 of a valium and it did something. I then stopped to see my parents and then went to work.
I am thinking I should have taken a whole valium. It usually works like a STOP sign. Very effective.
At work, I was OK for a little while and then I had a mild anxiety attack. So I exused myself and went down to the parking lot to chill for a little while.
The anxiety attack happened while I was doing the obitiuary page. Yeah, real happy task, right?
I work at a newspaper and this is one thing I do on Sundays. This rides right along with the original topic of this discussion: Negative thoughts. The negative thoughts were aplenty.
So, I am wondering if I need to go back on triavil. I may have to because since I have been off it I have been more awake, but also my anxiety level has been like a rollercoaster. Good, bad, good,bad, really good, really bad. You know the deal.
I was on 4/25 of triavil a day and it seemed to work and I did the rest.
I'll try and get in touch with my doctor. I have been off it since Early Sept. That's right when Hurricane Frances nailed us.
