Stress Center Peer Support

you ever get days that you feel fantastic and nothing can bring you down and you find yourself smiling at everyone and everything? Then you go to sleep and wake up the next day miserable. I hate this. Everyday is so unpredictable for me and everyday is such a struggle. I know, take it one day at a time.

Yes I do get good days & bad but I have told myself "This, too, shall pass" & it helps to realize that it won't last forever. You're exactly right - one day at a time & as we progress through this program it will get easier. Also, as your meds kick in you will feel better - I'm on Effexor XR 75mg daily & have realized that I do need it or I am barely functional. I tried to wean myself off of it years ago & went downhill. So I have accepted that I am probably one of those who needs it for life. No big deal - if it helps me, all the better!

Yeah, I'm the same way. The last couple of days I've been feeling pretty good. Thinking wow I might have licked this thing. But then today, I felt like crap. I had a big thanksgiving dinner planned, and I usually love thanksgiving cause I love cooking. But, I think I convinced myself that it was going to be a disaster before hand and worried to much that I was going to have a panic attack that it happened. Once dinner was done, a lot of the anxiety went away. But when I feel good, I'm convinced that I won't ever have a panic attack again.. But then it happens. Go figure.

Yes,

Every day is a new adventure !!!! Up and down the mountain of life and sometimes the valley !!!!

Your right Sit-N-Spin your theory on how days go. You may be going up and down a mountain, I have to say mine is more like a roller coaster and I can't get off. LOL
