Anxiety is such a hard thing do deal with , I understand you , my story might not be the same but we both suffer from the same thing ANXIETY and my story is year of panic attacks , past 3 months can't go more than ten min frm home some days don't leave at all and not even at home suffer from daily panic attacks , it's very very hard please hang in there and for me what I think is keeping this anxiety alive is I fight it I fear it and that drives it , I know it takes time but somehow we need to re train our brains not to fear panic so much ,that will be the hardest thing to do ,
What meds were you on ?

I learned a trick from a friend, if you are really upset and need to vent on something go into your bedroom and close the door and hit and scream into your pillow.

How long have you been on lexapro and do you take a benzo with it to help calm you down. Maybe if you don't this is something you need to talk to the doc. about.

I have had anxiety and panic for 13 years off and on and I know how bad it can be/get. Please be patient and good to yourself.

Take care, everyone is here for you,

What happend today that made you mad ?
Did something happen today , or are you just tired of the anxiety ?
I'm sick of it too , but I can't give up because I know that there are people that have suffered before but they got better , that gives me hope .
Know that your not alone and stay strong , try to find something that calms you , it's so hard for me to relax but I make my self sit down and watch a tv show and sometimes it works sometimes I'm still anxious so I paste around the house till it passes . :)

I know how you feel. I've given up on meds so many times just to end up back on them.

I do hope you have a good backup plan. Or a good method of coping. If you leave it untreated it may manifest into depression if you don't have a grip on it.

I too am in the same boat. Anxiety has won with me too. But I haven't been medicated in awhile and haven't been able to see or speak to anyone.
