Hi brooke and welcome.

I am so sorry to hear of your recent troubles with work. I do think that you need to take a little time and celebrate the fact that you got a job and tried your best...that is a huge deal, and you took a step in the right direction!

It may not have worked out this time, but there will be other oppurtunities. Once you can get a little more adept at managing your anxiety/symptoms, you can try to get back to work again...and you will have a much easier time.

Self-help sounds like it is the best choice for you at the moment. Even without insurance, you have the option of free on-line therapy, as well as books and lots of good options in our Resource Guide here. You can find it on our main page, 1st post. The on-line therapy link is here:https://www.moodgym.anu.edu.au/welcome

Also pratice the breathing and relaxation exercises provided in the links. Doing these daily can prevent and/or stop an attack if you practice/use the techniques daily!

If you think that you need help with regarding alcohol dependency...and I am not making a judgement...just another suggestion, then contacting an AA chapter could help you not only with this...but it could connect you with other resources to help with the anxiety issue as well. (this could be a two birds with one stone kind of thing!)

Keep posting here with us as well. It is good to talk to others who understand...and we are here to listen and support!

Talk to you soon.

Hey Brooke,

Just wanted to say that I understand where you are coming from, and I've been through this so much. I'm in immense pain myself right now, and going through withdrawals from my recent drinking as a result of my current situation. I am sick every single day, and I have nightmares every night, but I have been to the other side before, and I know that it gets better. The one thing I want to do when I feel this way the most, is to drink. But it's the absolute worst thing I can do to try and fix this. That is because, I know that as soon as the next binge ends, the whole anxiety and panic cycle will come back full force, and put me through what I'm going through now. Again. And there is no question it will happen, it has happened too many times to not happen now. I'm definitely looking into AA or another such forum to also deal with what I'm going through right at the moment. I suggest that for anyone who is feeling that drinking or drugs can help their symptoms. For me, it's only ever given me the temporary numbness and passing out, always to wake up in total fear and panic when it wears off, thus creating a sickening cycle. Wish you the best as you deal with this...
