Mediation works at times; although, medication may be better for short term use until you truly can master the meditation and address the stressors

Try mindfulness practice .. and identify your trigger points.

Yes, that’s anxiety and the fight or flight mode. You should tell your primary physician and get their opinions on it. The Evals will be the same, but your physical symptoms won’t go away until you work on the anxiety

I had constant anxiety and spinning prior to getting on medication

I will say tho, I think therapy helps a lot more in the long run. See if GT participated in the employee assistance program where you can get 5 free sessions with a counselor. If your primary physician believes medicine could help you could combine the two. Just know that you don’t have to live like this.

Yuuup. The only solution for me so far is what I’ve heard referred to as the “LA Happy Hour”: bikram yoga, xanax, and 8 hours of hard sleep. I have a tens machine that helps with shoulder tension, too. My biggest issue is finding time to actually go to yoga or get more than 5 hours of sleep. 🙈

It’s practically constant and driving me insane. I’ll give it a shot.

Thanks. This is all new to me. Never experienced this before so it’s been a difficult few months.

You have a headache problem. I am the expert. I have had one for 34 years. It has a new name. It is called a new daily chronic persistent headache. You should go to a neurologist who specializes in headache. Don’t let it go on too long. Anxiety may have something to do with it, but you really need to see a neurologist to stop it

Will do. Thanks!

Interesting. Let’s see if the uptick In cases continues to drive an uptick in hospitalizations and then in fatalities. Depends on how many of the cases are incidental or in very young people not prone to severe cases. But either way, look at the hospital capacity utilization figures! This is the untold story. Were we bending the curve to avoid unnecessary deaths due to overcrowded hospitals, or were we bending the curve to buy time for treatments and vaccine, or just to slow fatalities?

My sister and I have recently both come to the realization that our parents guilt us into spending time with them or visiting them and the guilt causes us both to shut down. Our dad is the main offender, often reminding us how little time we have left with him, asking us why we’re leaving so soon or reminding us about all the good deeds and sacrifices made. We’ve both noticed this shift in our relationship with our parents after graduating from college and starting our own adult lives. Continued
