This time of the year is normally bad for my depression, but today I woke up with the anxiety feeling in the pit of my stomach!!!! What!?! I am not even sure why nothing major is going on. I know that bills are starting to come due, but I have not been like this before.I am having trouble controlling my mouse that is how hard I am shaking. I am not sure what is going on. I feel good, had good sleep and everything, but the anxiety is peaked and I am worried that my crying for last night triggered this some how, maybe!?! I have no clue but this has to stop and right now!!!!! I just want to feel like this again.

Aw JD.,
The unexplained/unexpected anxiety is always the hardest to deal with..
..at least it is for me, because wondering WHY I am having anxiety/symptoms becomes a big part of the problem!
The fact is...anxiety at times just happens with no rhyme or reason...at least that we can identify.
Use your coping skills, and the things that have gotten you through rough spots in the past.
Know that we understand and are here for you in support. Let us know how you are doing soon, okay?
Much healing and relief be yours!

Sending you support and peace Jess.
I am sorry- Just like SC said, the unexplained, sudden anxiety is upsetting bc we want to know why..
How're you doing now? Were you able to use coping skills/medication to quell your anxiety? I find taking a brisk walk when it hits me like that, really helps. I just take off and walk fast through my neighborhood.
Hugs girl,
Lisa

You mentioned crying. I know that for me, after I've had a crying spell, it affects my anxiety. I tend to feel anxious and drained afterwards.

I had my first attack a month ago visiting my cousin in the middle of the night! I thought I was dying it is the worse feeling ever! It ruined my visit because I kept waiting for it to happen again. It happened again a few weeks later again at night. I take Zoloft singular prempro protonix. I also have Xanax but don't take them until I have an attack. I am not depressed and generally happy I have normal stress of work a 24 year old son. Do can't figure out why this is happening. I am on edge now waiting for next episode. I have bad ringing in my ears and acid reflux. Been doing lots of reading on here and it helps to know I am not crazy. I just want to fix whatever is causing this!!

S.C- I think this is the worst for all of us, all of a sudden... BOOM! I have been using my skills all day and I have figured out what my deal is.....
Lesweet- Once I ate and figured out what was going on I am coping much better. Wont be long now and it will pass.
Princessmel- I have never had an anxiety attack after crying, but there is a first time for everything. I was drained and my eyes and head hurt like they always do.
Denault- I felt the same way when I first started to have the anxiety and panic attacks, I thought oh my gosh I am broken and no one will ever take me serious about this, but it is all too common and NO ONE called me crazy! Reading always helped me to understand that this is a natural response and sometimes it just goes haywire. I was told by Larry on here that fear has never killed anyone and that was a fear of mine, he also told me to let fear in and then right out the back door, this has worked so very well for me.

My problem today was I didnt eat and I am getting ready for my time of the month. This month is going to be a hard one for that thing. I can always tell by my anxiety and leg cramps! So fun!!!! NOT
Thank you everyone for the support today and everyday.
