My world is changing

[Trying123]

I started buspar last week and think it's having a good effect on my anxiety and panic attacks. I am starting to think more clearly and realize the high pressure career i have worked in for the past 25+ years is no longer for me. This is not a sudden move, I think I have been in denial about this for a while now. I am taking things day by day or minute by minute if needed and will continue to focus on my health and wellbeing. I do have fears of disappointing myself, my family and co workers. I feel embarrassed to have suffered what I call a mental breakdown.

Trying123, I'm glad the Buspar seems to be helping you. Hopefully it'll start working well for you even better within the next few weeks.

The fact that you had a breakdown is not your fault.

Hi Trying123. Please keep in mind that your embarrassment and expected disappointments are a much bigger thing to you than to any one else. I was in a weekly anxiety group which had two members on Buspar. It worked absolutely great for one member and not at all for the other. Sure glad it's helping you. Best of luck with your career change.

Hey there Trying123. I’m glad the medicine is helping you! That’s awesome. Please don’t be embarrassed. Mental health is no different than physical health. You have to make sure you’re healthy. Don’t worry.

I have been there, suffering a mental breakdown. One good thing about that is no one will take you there again once you get yourself through this challenge. Focusing on your health is EVERYTHING!!!! Please remember, we cannot please everybody no matter how hard we try. I stopped trying and I have less stress these days. I have gained the courage to be disliked... that is when you realize you cannot please everybody and believe me, they will be ok.

Thank you Triceps. I will see in a few weeks what my abilities are and go from there.

Thank you for your reply. For the first time in my life I am acknowledging my feelings.

Thank you ladybj. I am no longer in denial about my anxiety and medical symptoms that need to be evaluated and treated. I can't predict what happens and will try not to plan the rest of my life at this time. One day at a time.
