I'm sorry to hear about your increasing anxiety and feeling overwhelmed.
I understand how hard decreasing medications can be. Have done it in the past as well. It can be extremely hard and tiring. Well done on making it to day 3.
I think what you are experiencing is very normal.
Do you have any things you do to try and decrease these feelings? Such as distraction, watching tv, journalling, reading, etc.

That sounds good @Spiritmission6
Often I will put a movie on or a tv series. Normally a comedy.
I also read quite a bit and do jigsaw puzzles. I like how the puzzles keep my hands busy.

That sounds yummy @Spiritmission6 I love tuna and mayo together
We had beef curry for tea. I put it all in the slow cooker this morning and then it was ready at tea time. I love simple meals!

I like how you can throw everything into the slow cooker in the morning and then don't have to think about it until dinner time! Especially good on those days where I can't be bothered cooking.
What else do you like doing?

@Snowie Its so easy using the slow cooker. I know what you mean saves alot of time. The meat is also tender in there. I enjoy music and love the beach when its warm swimming is fun

Beaches can be so beautiful @Spiritmission6, especially when the weather is warm.
I love just watching the waves.
Our closet beach is about 1.5 hours away so don't get there much.
