off the C for almost 9 weeks and have been on the typical roller coaster between manageable anxiety and off the charts. for the past three days its been off the charts. if i super focus on a task i can keep it at bay, but then changing to a new task the anxiety cranks up like crazy. once it starts getting dark outside - literallly, after sunset - the anxiety kicks into overdrive - serious panic. i try to use my cogntive therapy coping skills, but everything is just too intense to make sense. i do not ant to start on benzos/tranqs - i can't handle another dependency. i want to beat the anxiety not cover it up.
no - i don't see the end of any tunnel
does it get better or go away? ever?
