Horrible feeling this is


Feeling so depressed

Thank you. No I have not tried that form of therapy but I am going to ask my doctor about it at my appointment next week. I feel like it's taking over my life 😐

Hi MJ.

I am really sorry that you are struggling right now
:( I do understand and send compassion and encouragement.

Definitely ask your doctor about a therapy referral when you go for your appointment! There is much to be gained by this step!!

Until then...use your coping skills! If you need new ideas, check our Resources and see if there is anything new you can try!

Here for you when you need us!

Thank you all for your kind words. At work I had it for about 3 hours. It was so busy it went away little now on my way home it's coming back. I am going to pray and try the couping skills because I'm scared it's going to be a sleepless night again. And I've had this anxiety for about a year now :(

I know what you're going through with the up and down anxiety/panic. One minute I think I'm okay, the next minute a wave of anxiety/panic sweeps over me and I wonder if it will ever stop. You sound like a fighter though, just like I try to be, but it's hard sometimes and you just want to give in. I try to look back at the periods in my life when I've had daily anxiety....there have been periods of more than a year, a month, weeks, one never knows when you're going to "snap" out of it but do all the exercises suggested (breathing, talking, taking your meds, whatever) to help you along the way. Believe me, I'm there with you in spirit if not in person as are all of us here on this site. We are eachother's daily therapy I think and it makes a calming difference to know you are not only helping yourself, but hopefully helping others.

Hey everyone...

Today is such a bad day ... Sometimes I'm so scared that I'm not telling the difference between heart attack and anxiety attacks... Like today my arm hurts and back. I read that this is a sign of a heart attack... But I'm not sure if it's all in my mind and I'm so scared

No. I have to visit my doctor this coming week

Great advice everyone! Found a lot of comfort in your words Andwes! This disorder can be so tiring and take so much out of you! Like Andwes said, kep fighting and you will find relief soon, promise!

Hugs
