It's those little things.
Doing stuff around the house.
Cleaning an untidy pile of papers.
Changing lightbulbs.
Filling or emptying the dishwasher.
Not being able to do these things can consume me with anxiety so out of proportion to their importance. I even realize it at the time! but it doesn't help it stop. It just confirms to me that I'm a whacko.I'm going to give my therapist a last chance at addressing my anxiety. Next week I see my p-doc and I'll talk to her about it too. I can get through a time of anxiety or a panic attack, but I have to abruptly change the direction of my day to do it. Not wanting to give in to the anxiety is my motivation at the moment.
I've tried herbal supplements in the past without much success. I think that's mostly due to me trying to blindly pick a remedy off a shop's shelf or a self help book. I need more guidance than that!
