Re: Overwhelmed?       06/06/04 01:55 PM Edit Reply Quote Dimples Reged: 04/01/04 Posts: 346 So sorry you feel so overwhelmed. Have been there myself lately and all I can say is please don't be afraid to ask the doctor about it. Like Barbie, I also take Xanax (a very mild dose) which is for anxiety. It's just enough to keep you from going over the edge when things get sooooooo overwhelming. It seems like some people have a problem asking for help for problems like this yet this can also be caused by physical problems too such as a chemical imbalance etc. but for some reason we feel we may be labeled as weak if we need to ask for this kind of help. I don't believe in meds as the sole source of getting well. I think we need to put one thing at a time first. Believe me I know how hard that is to do. Try not to think of EVERYTHING that needs to be done or where you have to go all at one time. Try to get through the first thing on your list, then you can concentrate on the next etc. etc. If I think of everything I need to do or sometimes can't do I stress myself out and just make the IBS worse. Hang in there hon and when you feel like you're getting stressed just come on the boards and let it all out like you did now. It's a lot better than holding it in. Please speak to your doctor about how you feel. There are medicines out there that don't have as many side effects as others and sometimes you just need your dosage lowered in order to prevent the side affects you were speaking of. Take Care and know we're here for you! Pat Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
