Anexity is taking over my life

Everyone has some form of anxiety or depression or stress. When you do, you need to asess whether or not it is affecting your daily life and your ability to function, to get through your day, and to be generally happy and positive about life. It sounds like it is affecting most of these things with you.
You need to contact your prescribing doctor and talk about making a switch or change to the meds. Also I would contact a therapist, counselor or psychaitrist. If you don't know who to call, ask your doctor, or even the social worker at your cf center for a reference. The social worker at my cf center was sooo helpful when I decided to get professional help.
Talking things out with a therapist helps so much bc we aren't only dealing with a chemical imbalance causing anxiety/depression. Living with cf-there are legitmiate events and reasons to have anxiety and depression. It has to be talked out. When I went to therapy, after even the first session I felt so much help with the problem-like, why didn't I do this earlier? Let someone assist you with this-you don't have to live with it, and you don't have to fight it alone. There are trained experts to show you how to overcome this.

Hi, Alisha. I have severe anxiety and ocd. To me, it sounds as though whatever medication you are on is not working for you. While my attacks are not centered around cf, I was also at the point where my daily life was totally based around anxiety. It took a little while of medication adjusting to get where I felt stable, and it sounds to me that may be what you need. I totally agree with everyone that said a counselor is a good idea. I'm glad you have that, and I think that will help so much. I'm so sorry you're going through this time, please know that you're not alone.

I am so lucky to have you all. After I wrote this this morning I took all my meds went back to try and lay down and at least got another 3 hours of sleep. I woke up in a good mood and hopefully this med increase will help. I started a new therapist last week my old one retired and I hadnt been to theray in about 8 months. See is on vacation this week but I will see her next week and I have been incouncling all my life so I cant wait to go. I guess just like all of you sometimes we just get overwhelemd. My husband is in the army and is leaving for school for 8 weeks very soon and I know that is having something to do with it. I can talk to him about anything but I swear you guys are my lifesaver when it comes to stuff like this. Thank you so much for your help! I see to live in the now and I dont want that i want to live for the future!
