> Lurpsie I relate only when I did CBT a long time ago it didn't seem so hard wonder why now it does? But the anxiety I'm finding I think the green tea I drink in the car contributes to mine do you drink coffee tea with caffeine before you leave? Good luck tomorrow. Phillipa
Yes, I drink caffeine in the am. I find it helps with focus. the antipsychotics make me kinda fuzzybrained before noon. a quarter or half of a .5mg klonopin helps too, but I don't want to become dependent on a drug to live a happy morning.
Good suggestion tho. I'd rather have provigil than caffeine, but pdoc won't Rx it...
I think what is hard is that I present a very poised person to T. He has rarely seen me fall apart. It's something I'd rather do in private. But admitting to this level of anxiety represents kind of a "falling apart" in some sense-- like I'm not strong enough to handle my own mind.
(and THAT is another distortion)
