Concerned about next week

Hi Everybody, I'm asking for some advise.

atm I feel tired but concerned, school is coming, but I guess I should take more care of relaxation. that's what vacation is for anyway. So I hope that will help me to feel relaxed when I'll be coming across Monday. I really know it will mostly make me feel stressed at Sundays. Can't sleep, overthinking next day. So I'll probably have to prepare myself for that a lot.

And I just got prescribed to PROZAC from my Psych and she told me to take them tomorrow. I'm really afraid what to expect. I mean the side effects seem pretty dangerous. But it all depends with all different individuals. Some people have been taking it for 4 years and they don't suffer from anxiety too a high range anymore, they feel like a blast, on the other hand some people find it the most crappy medication they've ever been taking and they felt like throwing up, losing weight or gain weight (weird??) or being ill even or even more depressed and extremely nervous. (I guess it also depends how long you will produce it into the body, never stop directly, medicines will make you feel weird at first, but after a while it will reduce and will HELP... if you're the right person... I guess.)

So yeah I'm really afraid. I really wanna know if there are any people around here if they ever have been taking Prozac / Fluoxetine and also SEROXAT has the same stuff in it so it's really the same.

Other than that I've got a question if I can still use OXAZEPAM or XANAX besides this med because it really seem to help in cases when I really need them to stop a panic attack or something really exciting to just go and not avoid it. I am severely afraid when I meet people or go to something big . Some people I already feel well around, but new things.. EEK. I still can't seem to stop my panic attacks.

About sleeping before college,
I'll always have this problem, the night before school I can't sleep at all. I mostly stay awake until a late AM. I don't want that to be happening. Really need to work on this. My body needs change, more calmly and not so anxious reaction triggers.


Also, I don't want to be tired and mostly stressed in the morning. That's how I feel and it causes a true panic attack. So I can't breathe througout the day.
My body is just a real vulnerable one, this made me realise I should take more care of it.



So here's a few questions i wanna ask about relaxation to you guys;
-How should i stop worrying at night and make it more easy to sleep
-What helps you relax in the morning or whenever day time it is
-How can I prevent a panic attack


So here's a little list I already ordered for this week I never tried out before and I will, cus I have some serious ideas now towhich i thought out and made up for a better life. <3 change my body balance which is really panicy sometimes and outta control, i have to take more care of it then most people i guess;

-I'll set a timer on Sunday with a relaxation chinese music so I'll be waking up really with calm music, birds, forest sounds, however. Just a good sense of sound in the morning so I'll be getting good emotions.
-I will stop computing around 9:30 pm on Sunday.
-I will do some jogging in the afternoon at Sunday so I'll be making my body tired for the night to try to gain more sleep.
-I'll be drinking hot chocolate milk on Sunday.
-I'll be taking a 45 min bath with Epsom Oil (it really makes people knock out, they've told me.... sounds interesting, i wanna try out.)

I don't know if I can do them all. I just wanna try though. I know it will help somewhat at least!, maybe it's the most wonderful thing. I don't know.

And probably I'll be buying some Herbal Tea. It really sounds like a blast for me I like natural cure btw. I don't know about Prozac, but I'm willing to try ofc.

It's a serotonin high range so that's a plus. I feel more emotions but the good ones. ;) and the bad ones will reduce. How great is that? My old meds Risperidon only made me feel more depressed and even more anxious. Since it's a different way of process in your neuro transmitters. Yeah, I've been talking a lot to my psychiatrist, I could assume me as her assistant, I wanna know just everything about it. I like Psychology I guess. ::p:

Anybody experience with Prozac? Knows how to prevent panic attacks? Knows how to stop insomnia? Has some good tips for me?

Thank you so much.

<3 Love n light


Goodnight aye

Let's see. To answer those three questions:

1. The day before college, when the time to sleep comes near, why not listen to some relaxing music? Just lie down on your bed and close your eyes and just get lost in the song. You can also try to listen to something you find absolutely boring, like lectures (like I do sometimes)::p:. Make sure you've got the room dark and quiet.

2. Just watching or listening to something. I usually watch something funny or a good movie on YouTube to calm me down. I also just close my eyes and meditate. I drop any anxious thoughts and get lost in the void. I could also work on the stories in my head to calm me down. The main thing is just something that will take my mind off of the anxiety.

3. I would advise getting away from whatever's causing it. If it's the classroom, let your teacher know that you have panic attacks and ask if you can leave whenever you feel one coming on. Once you're away, take deep breaths until you feel calm again and then return.

Thanks DeadmanWalking.

1.Thanks. I like the dark room and quiet part. I just wish my room was totally isolated so I couldn't hear sounds of anything outside my room. I like quiet peace. I always get irritated by too many sounds I am very sensetive to them.

Oh and the music part, I've been downloading all hitzone albums, I'll be putting them on a CD.

Lectures are a bright plan.

2.Funny movies are good. Meditation is an interesting point. I want to find out more ways to meditate. Like a professional does.

3.Thanks. My teacher already finds it okay if I'll be leaving classroom now and then or even stay home. I just don't feel good about it, I don't want to seem pressured, I find school important and I want to let them know I can handle it. I don't want to be seemed weak. But I guess my nature is just this way, I always need to be so relaxed otherwise I'd get a panic attack at school.

I hope next week will go good.
