Docs put me on that in the hospital after my accident and honestly it was the worst part of the entire ordeal. I know everyones chemistry is different and different meds yada yada yada but holy balls was my experince incredibly negative.

My shit sleep saw me see a psychologist who said he couldn't help because my sleep was shit.Citalopram kept me up at night from the get-go. Lack of sleep is an absolute no-no for me, on account of the seizure disorder, so I never got a chance to see if/how it helped. I keep thinking about trying a therapist, but finding a good one is a bit of a crap shoot.
How many other meds were you on at the time? Could have been a reaction with one of thoseDocs put me on that in the hospital after my accident and honestly it was the worst part of the entire ordeal.

Once a source of anxiety has been identified, the "worst possible outcome" approach can be effective, depending on the source, I think. One of my biggest sources of anxiety is hypochondria, so the "worst possible outcome" is quite literally death, at least in my mind. If I were OK with dying, it wouldn't be such a big deal. I haven't reached that level of enlightenment, unfortunately.I have been dealing with anxiety more as I get older and what you said above is half of my strategy.
First, I remind myself that if no one is gonna die or get hurt bc I dont act right now, it’s not that important.
Second, I actually think about what is the worst possible out come. For example, I have a pretty significant water / rain anxiety. Who the fuck knows why… The possibility of the roof leaking into the house or the shop will wind me up something crazy. I remind myself that the worst case scenario is having to do some repairs, maybe some damaged property. That’s not really a big deal. People deal with that sort of shit all the time…at least that’s what I tell myself. Sometimes it helps…
“cool story, bra”
Also, FTS 11/10.
At that time? Most of them.How many other meds were you on at the time? Could have been a reaction with one of those
Dealing with sleep issues sucks. I've had some stress-related bouts of sleeplessness over the years, but it's gotten better. A consistent evening/sleep schedule has been the most effective, along with avoiding any stimulating reading/tv/internet in the hours before bed.My shit sleep saw me see a psychologist who said he couldn't help because my sleep was shit.
He referred my to a psychiatrist who couldn't help because my sleep was shit, haha!
Initially I got given an anti depressant because it supposedly made people sleepy. But it only makes people sleepy at a low dose, I got a full dose, went nuts for the three weeks I was on it and it made my sleep worse.
But, as soon as I stopped taking it I felt the best I had in years, got loads of stuff done, so it sorta worked.
Not discounting your experience, but when you're loaded up with hunter s thomson levels of medicine you're more likely to find something that disagrees.At that time? Most of them.
Ah, yeah. My strategy doesn’t seem to be a good one to apply to hypochondria based anxiety or anxiety from an unknown source either... I am a fucking caveman…haha.Once a source of anxiety has been identified, the "worst possible outcome" approach can be effective, depending on the source, I think.

Does he have a background in Emerald Mining?Beauty of a ride at Gowdy. I spent the majority of the ride procesing a drunk roadie who wants to sanitize all my mtb trails because he thinks theres too many rocks and no flow. He only texts after 7pm on weekends. He tells me everyone hates my trails because theyre too hard. He just cant ride them because he's a roadie.
He emigrated here from South Africa... acts entitled and is a bully.
Have you decided to just shank him already?Beauty of a ride at Gowdy.

No, too many rocksDoes he have a background in Emerald Mining?
I have a love/hate thing with rum.Ugh, went over to the neighbour’s place last night for a drink or two and then the rum came out.
Have the land managers made any indication of how they are going to deal with himI nicknamed him Bergie and handed all his text messages over to the land managers. I just put in the trails.
They're going to call him and explain that nobody gets to do unsanctioned work out there and one persons opinions will be taken into consideration but doesnt actually mean anything.Have the land managers made any indication of how they are going to deal with him
Keep a running list of what he's done and how long it takes you to fix it in case the land owner wants to go after him for damagesThey're going to call him and explain that nobody gets to do unsanctioned work out there and one persons opinions will be taken into consideration but doesnt actually mean anything.
This guy has no clue about state lands/federal lands/private lands and all the rules which must be abided by. They'll attempt to explain all that to this foreigner who grew up in an apartheid state...
Love when there's rum in the bottle, and hate when it's gone?I have a love/hate thing with rum.
