Alcohol most definitely relaxes me. Does that mean anything?
My grandmother was BP. The pdocs I have seen so far say that I might have some symptoms of BP2.
SLS, I have grown so used to this anxiety that it feels weird when I dont have it. The abnormal feels like the normal, and vice versa. Does that make any sense?
Again, the only thing that has ever really touched this anxiety is Seroquel. And it took a few months before I could accept that I was feeling better. That's the type of grip this thing has on me. (At the beginning of April, I got upset over a financial transaction, and have been reeling ever since).
I guess meds are the short-term answer, and therapy is the long-term answer. However, it is difficult to comprehend any therapy when my anxiety level is so high.
Any thoughts from anyone? I really appreciate anybody's input. Please speak in laymen's terms. Thanks, Michael
