Oct 09 2010, 6:09 pm / Frustrated

Im so disappointed in myself. My little sister whom has always been my best friend and my favorite sis is getting married on the 23rd. I am extremely happy for her. I'm worried that I am not going to make it with my problems. My mind is holding me back. I want to be put to sleep for the 2 hour journey there. I have been thinking about it so much I have lost sleep, time, and energy over it. I really dont like taking to much medication but i feel that its the only way to get there. I already take 45mg buspar, 20 mg lexapro, and 1.5 mg lorazepam per day. Im lost, frustrated, sad, worried, anxious, and disappointed. I really dont want to miss her wonderful day. Does anyone have any thoughts or ideas to this? Let me know. Thanks

Oct 11 2010, 12:57 pm Chelsea, Dee, & Lola Thank you for all your info, support, and wonderful words of encouragement. I really do appreciate it. You all have made me feel better and stronger in different ways. I know i am going to be ok. Im just going to stay positive and plow through it, whether im awake or asleep. Lola i know what you mean. I have missed so much and i have many regrets over them. Its funny i never had any regrets til i started having these attacks and phobias. I guess it is what it is and i have to move forward. Thanks again. :)

I hope that you can find away to make it to your sister's wedding so that there is no regret on your part that will cause you even more anxiety and worry over the fact that you did not go. I hope that on that day you wake up with joy and peace.

Oct 10 2010, 5:44 pm Bottom line... You will be going to your sisters wedding...so.....what you might try is to stay in your day. We are unable to predict the future....so that means you really don't know how you will feel on that day. When thoughts come to you about that day....acknowledge them and then challenge the thoughts by returning to your moment...your day....your present, and not allow yourself to go into the what if's! Hey why not have the what if you have a great time at the wedding...what if you have no anxiety....what if it is the best day you had in awhile??????? I mean if your gonna project....why not project the positive. We become so use to the dread, and the worry.......I find the only way to keep away from the anticipatory anxiety is to distract my thinking and stay in the day. It takes practice.... You can do this.... Place your focus in your moment and not into what may lay ahead.......
