I’ve been waking up with huge amounts of anxiety that I’ve called off work. It’s so difficult to open ur eyes and as soon as u do that, feel all the tension. I don’t wanna keep taking my klonopin to feel better. I don’t know how to stop this crisis
Hey! So I got through the same exact thing and try my best not to rely on my klonopin just cause it makes me exhausted throughout the day and I don’t wanna rely on my klonopin , so what I do is I wake up and lay in bed for a moment because getting right up will make you dizzy in turn make you anxious . Try laying in bed and drink some water before getting up and when you go to use the bathroom try to wash your face and brush your teeth so your body wakes up! These are things that have helped me on hard days. Even if you still have a bit of anxiety try to push yourself to go to work because avoidance is only going to make it worse at the end of the day. It may seem impossible like you won’t be able to function at work but once you’re there and working the anxiety will be forced to the back of your head . It gets better once you put the work in 💗
@Anonymous Thank you, I did read I can’t keep avoiding it and there’s this comfort in staying in bed feeling bad but it also feels excruciating. Like all I wish for is I wasn’t this way but putting in the work is also exhausting
@Anonymous Yeah on some days it does feel much easier to just stay in bed and sleep so you don’t have to be around others but honestly once you get past the hump of getting to work once you’re there it’s much better because you can focus on work and being at work almost forces you to feel ok. It’s ok to have a bad day but it’s not ok to let that bad day rule what you do. Even if you just change locations in your house while feeling anxious or uncomfortable is a big win I started with getting out of bed when I didn’t feel like I could and sitting on my couch the change of scenery helps immensely and helps your mind have other things to look at to ground you. I’m sorry you’re having a tough day but the work HELPS sooooo much. It may seem excruciating or scary but i really really think me pushing myself to even do the dishes or go outside while I’m anxious has lessened my morning stress . Also it helped me to know I’m not the problem in the morning your cortisol levels are wonky because you’re just waking up and your heart rate goes up so it’s almost like you’re gonna feel different or off I just try to know that it’s my body waking up and push to the next step. I hope your day gets better 💗

@Anonymous I think I sent you a request
@Anonymous Try adding me as well if you don’t see my request
@Anonymous Hey! So I have a small truth bomb (sorry in advance 🥺) — I deal with this daily and have learned that my OCD wants me to think I’m safest in my bed. Like if I just lay here all day, I won’t feel anxious, when the reality is, OCD is trapping me and I can be safe ANYWHERE! But clearly, I can also experience anxiety in my bed, so is the bed really any safer than anywhere else?? I’m saying all of this from a place of love. ❤️ & I know you already know these things to be true. Sometimes it just helps when someone from the outside can remind you of the truth that you already know. So get up & let that anxiety follow you around like a puppy. It’ll be uncomfy, but YOU CAN DO UNCOMFY THINGS! 🥹
