Hi @Spiritmission6

I'm sorry to hear about your increasing anxiety and feeling overwhelmed.

I understand how hard decreasing medications can be. Have done it in the past as well. It can be extremely hard and tiring. Well done on making it to day 3.

I think what you are experiencing is very normal.

Do you have any things you do to try and decrease these feelings? Such as distraction, watching tv, journalling, reading, etc.

Re: Support

That sounds good @Spiritmission6

Often I will put a movie on or a tv series. Normally a comedy.

I also read quite a bit and do jigsaw puzzles. I like how the puzzles keep my hands busy.

That sounds yummy @Spiritmission6 I love tuna and mayo together

We had beef curry for tea. I put it all in the slow cooker this morning and then it was ready at tea time. I love simple meals!

I like how you can throw everything into the slow cooker in the morning and then don't have to think about it until dinner time! Especially good on those days where I can't be bothered cooking.

What else do you like doing?

@Snowie Its so easy using the slow cooker. I know what you mean saves alot of time. The meat is also tender in there. I enjoy music and love the beach when its warm swimming is fun

Re: Support

Beaches can be so beautiful @Spiritmission6, especially when the weather is warm.

I love just watching the waves.

Our closet beach is about 1.5 hours away so don't get there much.
