I felt so great yesterday and most of Saturday too...and today I just feel crappy. Woke up not feeling so great, had a coffee which probably wasn't a good idea. Work was long and busy but the chest pain and the anxiety just kept creeping up on me all day, not to mention the nausea.
I just took my asthma medicine and I feel even worse now, very shaky and anxious. I hate this! Why is this happening? I wish I could take my larazapan but I don't want to mix it with the asthma medicine.
What is wrong with me that is causing this anxiety? What do I need to change to stop having these attacks?

What a bummer of a day! :( It's hard to find a balance, especially when we experience a few good days...we just want them to stay that way. Ultimately though, anxiety does creep back in on us and sometimes it's for no good reason at all. I'm turning the same questions in my own mind, especially wondering "What do I need to do to stop having these attacks?"

How long have you been going through this? Was there less stress yesterday and Saturday? Is something getting to you on Monday's? Trying to locate the root cause(s) of the anxiety can be helpful.

Sorry you're having a tough one today! :( Just remember to try and use your coping skills as you navigate the day!

wishing you all the best
do you journal? perhaps it might bring to light your anxiety triggers

TooMuch, it's fairly new at least at this extreme, a couple of months maybe so really just learning to deal with it. I have Lorazapem but a little nervous to start taking it because I'm not sure how it'll make me feel.

weary, I haven't journaled in what feels like ages. Maybe it would be a good idea to start again. Thank you for that suggestions.

Gotcha, there's a bit of a learning curve, but once you get the hang of how to calm the anxiety, it gets easier. What'd the docs say about taking Lorazapam with your asthma meds?

It's good to know that it gets easier...it gives me hope. He said because the asthma medicine goes straight to my lungs I have nothing to worry about with the pills, of course being me I still worry. I just have to try taking it...chances are that it will help.
