Anyone ever just feel....crazy?

[YellowRubberDuckie]

I was officially put on medical leave today because of some medical conditions I have that are making it difficult to sleep, and I've developed an Anxiety disorder. I have just felt out of control and crazy lately. Please send warm, fuzzy, sane thoughts my way while I work through this. I know I don't post much anymore, but I still love this place and the people in it. And you will probably see me around more often.

1. I have infinite sympathy for and appreciation of crazy folks.

They accomplish most of the great things in the world. Plus I'm no model of mental health myself. Keep on trucking, and you may very well find out it gets easier over time.

2. Welcome back, Duckie! It's great to see you!

And I'm so sorry that you're having a rough time. To answer your question, yes, I sometimes feel crazy, anxious and downright depressed. I also have had insomnia for years, but I now have a prescription for it and it really does help... :hi: :hug:

3. I've been given Xanax...

It looks like this is going to work out well.

9. I've taken Xanax...

That actually helped me sleep more than anything else... :D :hi:

11. Mrs. Lib went through a long rough patch, but Prozac has really helped

hope everything works out.
And the Lounge is always open.

4. It's good to see you

I'm the official lounge crazy person, so if you ever feel the need to break it down and get a little nuts, feel free to contact me. :)

I hope you are feeling better soon. And, seriously, if you've felt it I've probably been there. Take care of yourself. :hug:

5. I miss those pictures from your balcony.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

7. Thanks.

We moved last year though. We bought a house, and the only view is of the neighbor's shed that is falling down and our rather large front yard. But just because you like it:

8. There's that cathedral. Thanks.

Good luck in your new house.

6. Yeah, I have. You can get through this and it's likely to improve soon.

Get whatever form of help floats your boat and throw yourself into working on what's behind it. Medical conditions can be scary as all get-out, so honor those feelings and let them guide you toward what you need. Good luck.

10. You should see me when I don't take my Meds.

[Haole Girl]

12. Oh Duckie

I shouldn't even be here, but I wanted you to know I remember you well and I've thought of you often and I'm sorry you're going through such a difficult time. :hug:

[BarenakedLady]

13. Good vibes to you.

Yes, I've been there.

:hug: :pals:

14. You KNOW you're with (mostly) good people here...

15. Yes. Yes, I do.

More often than I'd like. Helps me to write things down, review my thoughts later.

Be kind to yourself from time to time, and be well.

16. I'm not nearly as crazy as I was, but yes,

I have felt that way.

After getting some (mot all) my physical health problems under control, and getting some counseling, I am much saner. I needed the counseling, but really, my physical health was causing many of my other problems.

Do what you need to get your sanity back. We love you, too.

17. I feel crazy

because I am up at this time of the night and tempted to call someone that I shouldn't.

[lovemydog]

18. all the best

Make a list of stuff you enjoy. Try and laugh at yourself and others. Take care. Get lots of rest.

[HopeHoops]

19. I'm not crazy, but the voices in my head keep telling me I am.

[Lilith Velkor]

20. Yeah, but that's because I'm...crazy

It's really not all bad.

I'm sorry you're anxious, and hope you feel less anxious soon. :grouphug:
