Hi all,
I just finished week 3 on SJW. It's been working great - I've stopped crying, I was starting to feel more relaxed - more like my old self.
Two days ago, I got some bad news - I was being sued by a company for money I didn't owe them because of fraud that had been done in my name. (BTW, there's been a lot going on - one thing after the next after the next, etc.)
I *FLIPPED*. Wow, it was not a pretty sight. I got SO angry and totally lost control.
I have been feeling anxious for the past few days. Very much on edge. Meditation isn't helping. This morning, I woke up with a feeling of panic. The only thing that calmed me down was putting my runners on and running 15 kilometers. The endorphins helped bring me back to a semi-normal state, but I know from experience that the effect is only temporary.
This happened on Paxil, now that I think about it. I felt GREAT for the first few weeks, and then got really anxious. I stopped the Paxil.
Will this anxiety pass? I'm so frustrated - this monkey on my back has held up my life long enough now.
Any replies would be greatly appreciated.

I'm sorry you're having a hard time. Of course, I can't say for sure WTF is going on, but I CAN point out that many people say, in this forum and elsewhere, that it typically takes 6 to 8 weeks for the the full effects of SJW to kick in. Maybe you are just experiencing a temporary, stress-related set-back on a longer road of beneficial SJW effects.

Thanks so much for the response...
I think you're right. I've felt so numb for so long, I'm starting to feel emotion again bit by bit. When I flipped out, I think it was because I finally HAD the energy to flip out!
I meditated for a bit, had a good meal, and then went out for jazz this evening. I'm feeling better, though the anxiety still pops up a little bit.
I'm going to stick through the 6-8 weeks. Every week so far has (on the whole) been better than the last. I think the past two days have just happened to be two bad days.
Thanks again!
HuGgLeS! Keep happy, everyone! (-:
