I Had a Massive Anxiety Attack | Sheepdog Says

I feel awkward doing yet another negative video but I've been having a rough time and I talk about what's going on so here it is. I've been hit hard by anxiety this past few weeks and it has got to the point where it is messing with my day to day. I'm really hoping a week away will make all the difference and I can come back feeling human again.

Agree wholeheartedly with you on beaches.

Nothing wrong with a sky blue room

I was so happy Spurs won because it got Chelsea in the champions league. It’s been annoying youtube ha been showing your video but I see them again now which is good. I fully get where you are coming from with the shops I kept thinking what at I want to go in for isn’t essential so everyone is going to think I am evil

[@SheepdogSays]

I feel like if Spurs had any self awareness they’d have let Leicester win. But I guess maybe they felt chelsea have enough stature and money to succeed without CL and Spurs probably want the gate money from the conference league even if it isn’t much.

This might sound stupid (it did to me when it was first suggested by mental health professionals) but when I was really struggling with anxiety and not being able to sleep the doctors recommended the antihistamine promethazine which can be purchased over the counter without a prescription. Not sure how you feel about stuff like that but might be worth a shot. Taking an antihistamine isn't likely to cause you any harm (providing you're not allergic to it or anything) so I'd be tempted to try it out if I were you. I take them every now and again if I'm struggling they do help with sleep if nothing else

[@SheepdogSays]

Nice one I’ll have a look. We have anti histamines in the house so I’ll read the ingredients.

[@crazycat1166]

@@SheepdogSays i think it's basically probably just any type of antihistamine that isn't one of the "non drowsy" versions because I suspect the main thing they actually do is make you a bit sleepy 🙈, works for me though 🤷🏻‍♂️ the promethazine does actually say on the leaflet that it can be used in different doses for anxiety and to help sleep though

i've been diagnosed and have struggled a lot with anxiety and different anxiety disorders. it can definitely be really hard to deal with, and i was on abilify which made me gain a ton of weight as well. right now i'm on zoloft which i've been on for probably a couple of years now for depression and anxiety, and sometimes taken other meds to try to boost it, but it's helped a lot for me, even though i have to follow up with my doctor because it's not really effective enough anymore. i've taken different medications with my zoloft, like abilify which i mentioned, and zyprexa and stuff like that to boost it but nothing really worked properly, or at least not without any bad side effects. hopefully soon i'll be able to find something that'll just work well. i hope your week away is gonna help, but i think you should discuss it further with your doctor just to hear details about all the different options you got

[@SheepdogSays]

I tried zoloft too at one point. I can’t remember what I ended up on but I gained a lot of weight. Il see how I feel in a week or so. I can’t imagine it’ll be a wonder cure but it might help me get on top of things.

[@carpetstick]

@@SheepdogSays Yeah, I hope you're gonna be okay! If I suddenly end up becoming a genius that can cure all issues ever, I shall let you know

[@SheepdogSays]

@@carpetstick I will be ok don’t worry. I’m relieved I spoke to the doc even if he was a bit useless it made me speak to other people a bit and Claire can stop me getting whipped up into a mess.
