am i making sense

I know the physical wd is over......but I have panic the minute I get up...now literally talking out loud to make some coffee...drink coffee....excerisee...do laundry...do I know how to do laundry?  Take a shower.....it as if it my first time doing all this.  I am very quiet....and I was a ramblin' talker.  Afraid to try to write bills.  Went to get my nails done that I always loved doing but I was in a panic the whole time......didn't talk.  But on the positive I DID today.  Can you lose you personality and be dumb?   Does any of this sound like any of you.  The most basic common sense things seem so difficult.  I was told this could go on for a year!

Need you all BUT want to see and talk with those looking for help now~

First of all you DID something which is a step in the right direction. Are you taking the Xanax? Don't panic!! even if you have to talk yourself into doing things you use to do, talk to yourself, you aren't dumb or you wouldn't be typing away on this website. I'm  sure you'll eventually get into the normal things you did before. Why are you
thinking it's going to be a year? You're freaking yourself out, it's all about today, not tomorrow and not a year from now. You quit!! That in itself is awesome! Did you call to make a doctors appointment yet? They can help you, I felt horrible a month ago and started anti depressants which I was fighting but they are definitely working. Smile!!

When you were at the hospital, what did they say about your Xanax use? Are you having panic even after 4mg?

bunco you're still taking the xanax right?  4 mg's a day?  If that's the case - that's what's making everything such a huge effort for you - or at least it isn't helping the situation.  That much xanax would put most people to sleep for days.  Have you thought about weaning off of it?
