Hi everyone,

I'm still sick, my cold has morphed into some type of stomach bug. So I was up all night. My anxiety has been moderately high but I'm powering through.

I hope everyone else has a great day.

I am trying to power through myself. My anxiety is horribly high right now. It started a couple weeks ago when my 9 month old grandson ended up in the hospital with flu, bronchitis and an ear infection. I live in Washington and they're in Kansas so I couldn't be there which sent my anxiety skyrocketing. It still is. I end up feeling way more scared about my anxiety symptoms and thinking something is wrong. My grandson is now back home and doing fine. Grandma...not so much : (

Hi Everyone,

Wow, the forum is really rocking this week! Lots of new people and lots of panic flare ups. That stinks! I fall into the flare up category. Got myself so wound up while on VACATION that I've had chest pain (clearly just muscles from tension), shortness of breath, tears and some bad heartburn and reflux. I'm trying to enjoy as much as I can, while managing the panic too.

Yesterday I emailed a new CBT doc to see if she can see me as a patient. I like my current doctor as a person, but I feel like he and I are making NO progress and if I ever wanna be in the right frame of mind to attempt to have another baby, I need to have a full tool belt to manage panic and anxiety!!

Anyway, we're in Florida and it's sunny but it's been pretty chilly in the morning. We went to the zoo today and that was fun, so hopefully we can get some pool time in later too!

Hope everyone is feeling ok, or starts to feel better soon!

Hi everyone!
First off let me say, I don't know what I would do without this forum. My anxiety was really bad yesterday-- I got dizzy, and shaky, and just sort of depersonalized from everything. Not sure if its from the high emotions given everything that's going on, or what, but whew I'm glad it's over. I woke up this morning with awful abdomen pain in my lower right side and naturally convinced myself that it was appendicitis... and then it went away, and it turns out it was just a cramp. I had to laugh at myself for that one.
Have to go get my phone fixed today because I cracked the screen and my finger's probably have about a pound of glass in them. Apple store= fluorescent lights, lots of people, and lots of anxiety-- yippee!
Hope you all have a beautiful day.

Hello all!

Park, you said it! Seems like the board has really been moving the past few days! I'm glad, I like hearing from everyone, new and old.

As for me today, it's been alright. I tried a new kickboxing workout before work; and mannnn am I outta shape. I'm making it a goal to do one everyday (they have a bunch on this Xbox Fitness app) no matter what. I used to be a long distance runner, and dang it I'll get there again! My heart rate seems to be down today (was up for about an hour after working out), and I'm sure it would be down even more if I stopped checking my pulse every 10 minutes. Today is actually my Friday in terms of work, as I get tomorrow off for my holiday and then have my normal days off. I'm kinda nervous as I'm seeing a sleep doctor Wednesday, just for a consultation. Still trying to get in to see my therapist this week but looks like that might get pushed to next.

All in all, I'm eager to get home and have a glass or 3 of wine, relax, and play some video games. Hope everyone is having a good day!

Hi everyone. I am new to this and anxious and nervous as I write. Its been a really tough few years but the Last one the worst. Got very sick...dehydrated that I was rushed to er and critical care unit. After coming out I had to learn to walk again, eat, keep levels up. Between kidney doctors, cardiologist, urologist, I am a mess. I suffered from anxiety on and off during my life but it has taken over my life now.

From what I've been read I'm not the only one. I get sick, like now and feel I'm going to die. My throat closes up, my ibs kicks in and the cycle starts fresh. I am going through a divorce, lost my job, sold my home and thankfully my beautiful daughter keeps me going. Sorry to have rambled...seem to do that often;). Any help or advice would be so appreciated.

Anxiety, depression, ibs, gerd

Thank you Angel. I never experienced such fear, loneliness, hopelessness.

Had a mini panic attack just now when I couldn't find half my meds when I went to replenish my pillbox. Phew, found them.
