Does anyone else do the thing where, if one thing

[callalily]

That's exactly how i start. One thing that I'm justifiably anxious about turns into 27536282 other things that im anxious about and shouldn't be. Xanax has been a lifesaver during the justifiable anxiety. I'm so sorry about your kitty I'd be a basket case too.

[papie]

Yes, although it doesn't happen much when I'm on ADs. I'm so sorry about Emma, tamb. You don't need to be embarassed about how you feel, I would be freaking out too. Hey, last winter, when I was explaining to friends why I wasn't doing well, I was always adding "and my cat is sick, and we don't know what is wrong".

Drink some wine!

(((hugs)))

[rupertpenny]

Yes, this happens to me too. When it rains it pours.

An re: the wine flameful, H and I went to Jacksonville last weekend and stopped at Whole Foods to buy two cases of wine. The chance to buy cheap wine was one of the main reasons we make the trip.

[greylady]

Yes. And the end result is usually me sobbing on the kitchen floor, because trying to figure out whether it makes more sense to thaw chicken or beef for dinner is too damn hard.

Thanks guys. My doctor's H (also a doctor, shared practice) was accused of raping a patient and, at the very least, had sex with her at office while his wife was down the hall, soooo I'm not sure if she'd be super sympathetic about my cat drama. I actually like this one NP I saw there a lot better and wish I could remember her name so I could just make an appt with her.

OMG
yeah
but her job is still her job and you are her patient, and it is hard for you.

Whoa. Wow. However, she should still listen to you. You have every right to be sad and anxious. Hopefully you will be able to see the NP and be comfortable.

I wound up going on anti-depressants because my anxiety got out of hand. There is nothing wrong with getting something to help you. And anyone who judges you for being upset about your cat and screw themselves. My cats, dog, rabbit and guinea pigs are family and if anything where to happen to them, I'd be a wreck. If it makes you feel better, I screwed up boiling the paci's too - it took a week for the smell of burnt rubber to leave my house and I had to throw the pot away.

[lemondrop]

Yes.

I need some boxed wine.

[Deleted]

Yes. Once something makes me anxious I will sit there and let a million things run through my head. Then I have to go back and try to remember what made me anxious in the first place so I can try to get over it.

[bonquiqui]

Yes, and I am sorry. I can't even imagine how hard that must be

[flamingeaux]

Tamb, I'm so sorry about your kitty.

and yes I get that.
I do it all the time.

[eightangryreindeer]

I'm so sorry about the cat. omg.

There are four cases of beer in my dining room, everyone.

Judge not, lest ye be judged.

[horseoutside]

Yes! And if I'm not actively worrying about something, I wrack my brain trying to remember if there's something I should be worrying about that I've forgotten. It's exhausting. Thank god for wine...even from a box

[Deleted]

Yep. This is exactly how my anxiety plays out. Especially lately with our AC not working and it being 100* out every.single.damn.day.

I'm sorry about your cat Tamb...I'd ask for a xanax too.

[daisyheadmaizie]

Yep. It is like once it starts it just snowballs.

I am so sorry about Emma.

[statlerwaldorf]

Pretty much. I had postpartum anxiety around 3-4 months pp too.

[Deleted]

Yay boxed wine! I've had bad anxiety since DS was born. Wine of any kind helps.

[eb777888]

Well, I tend to focus my anxiety onto one thing, and latch on to it, obsess about it until it's over.

I'm so sorry about Emma

[flipflopsandwine]

anxiety blows. i'm always worried about something. right now it's waiting to find out if i have skin cancer. i also have a check up with my cardiologist next week because my tachycardia issues are flaring up. i'm obsessing over all of it and driving my h just a little bit crazy.

also, i'm really sorry about emma too.

[mudslide]

Yes, absolutely. I'm so sorry about your cat.

[Deleted]

I'm really sorry to hear about your cat, tamb. I hope you f ind a solution to get you feeling better soon.
