Not Coping

Hey @Birdofparadise8

How are you going? I'm here for a chat if you wanted, I see you're not feeling the best and I'm here for you

Not feeling great, @amber22. I don't know what to do. I so badly want to cry, but I don't want a nurse to notice when they come around for checks. I just want tonight to be over. I had my stats exam today.

How are you?

Aww I'm so sorry that tonight is hard for you. I'm sitting with you and hoping you can get some rest from it all.

How did you stats exam go?

I'm doing okay - could be better. I've felt really anxious the last few days and I hate feeling like this! @Birdofparadise8

Thanks @amber22 I just want to get better, but I don't see how that is going to happen anytime soon.

It was alright as long as I go 60%, I'll pass the unit. I really don't want to do it again. Tomorrow's biochem one I don't even need to pass, lol.

Anxiety is the worst, I think even worse than sadness because it can lead to panic attacks and all that. However, sadness is horrible in its own way. They are both just uncomfortable, I guess.

Do you have anything planned for tomorrow?

You will definitely pass it, and no need to worry about tomorrows one then!! I hope you feel good once they are all over.

You're right, anxiety sucks. I have been waking up during the night with such bad panic attacks, it really is so hard to navigate!!

I am just working tomorrow, I'll try go to pilates after work. Have you been watching anything good recently? @Birdofparadise8

When I have a panic attack I like to go to the bathroom and lay down on the cold tiles it helps to regulate me and cools me down.

Have you tried that before @amber22?

I have been watching a show called deadlock on prime.

That is such a great idea, I've never tried that before, I will try it if it happens again.

Ohhh is that show good? @Birdofparadise8

Yeah, I find it very useful. I hope it will help you, @amber22.

I'm starting a new antidepressant tonight, I hope I won't have a side effect, but I'll have to wait and see. The dosage is high, 150mg twice a day, but my Pdoc wants me to start on one 150mg daily for a couple of days and then increase it.

I'm rewatching the good doctor. I needed something to end my day a bit more positively.

Yes, it's so funny. One of the detectives is very annoying but funny at the same time. She loses a sandal, cuts out an impression of her foot on the paper, and sticks some tape around her foot to make it look like a sandal. You really should watch it for a laugh.

Thank you, I'll try it!

I hope that you don't react to the antidepressant, fingers crossed.

Oh I've never seen the good doctor either, I've got to check all of these shows out!! @Birdofparadise8 Make sure you don't go to bed too late tonight

Yeah, have a look. I hope you enjoy it @amber22

I've just had my night meds so I'll probably be going to be shortly.

Are you working tomorrow morning or night?
