Am I on the right track?

I’m new to Kibbe and am trying to add more SD pieces to my wardrobe! I’m not the most fashionable, so this feels new to me. Do these pieces look like I’m heading in the right direction? My feelings won’t be hurt if I’m totally off base. :) I’m a very analytical person, so finding some guidelines and new pieces to put together has been fun! Styling everything feels like the next challenge 😅

Xanax is making my anxiety worse?

Hi all, I'm at a loss for this one. I've been prescribed Xanax for about a year now, and have only taken it a few times due to it making my anxiety worse. Everything I've read says that's not possible, so I'm really confused and frustrated and not sure where to go from here.

Medical anxiety is one of my biggest problems. My mind starts racing when I feel an unusual sensation, so what happens is, I take the Xanax, I begin feeling warmth and tingling throughout my extremities, and the anxiety gets worse. I feel sedated, tired, and foggy, but the uncomfortable anxious feelings and thoughts are still there, often worse because now I feel "weird". I've had this reaction on .5 and .25, so small doses, which of course leaves me cautious about trying a larger dose. I do not take the Xanax when I could really use it because I do not want to experience the anxiety about my body.

Has this happened to anyone else? Do I just need to practice taking it and get used to the sensations? I know Xanax is not harmful, but does it not work well or cause weird symptoms for some people? I've had this conversation with my doctor, but her response has been to not answer anything specifically and to suggest taking a smaller dose. I'm having a dental filling this week and was prescribed valium, but I'm worried it's going to make me more anxious like the Xanax does. 😞 Thank you all. ❤️
