How often do you guys find yourself panic attack free? I was doing well the other day then yesterday and today I’ve had 4 at least. I hate this....

I can go months without, then a little anxiety slowly builds until I eventually start having them. Usually come in bunches. Takes me weeks to calm down. I’m in a bad spell now for the last month.

I’m getting a lump in the throat feeling that’s driving me nuts right now. I always think the worse with health.

Oh my what I would do for months. For the past 10 months it’s been constant and by that I mean daily. There have been a few days without panic because I’ve been on and off AD but then I feel weird and have symptoms from those. This has hands down been the worst year health wise for me. I have invested so much time and money into my anxiety with no progress. It’s very defeating at times.

H.,

As you progress in your recovery, you will have less episodes of panic. You'll start to notice that you are feeling well for longer stretches, then the majority of the time....and finally the attacks will become few and far between, or even a non-issue for you!

You are working toward your recovery in many key areas, so know that you are laying the foundation for a great turn around. Keep up the great work...and stay positive. smile

I am the same way I have had anxiety now for years and I will do really well without any attacks and then all of a sudden I will be a wreck for weeks this time around it's been a couple months. This time it's the worst it's been debilitating and has caused me to leave work several times because it's gotten so bad. I really hate it and I really do my best to stay positive but it's hard living life this way at times because the symptoms feel so real they are so unbearable at times. Let's all keep each other's heads up this definitely helps me talk about things and makes me feel better I'm so glad I found this website to see that I'm not alone here.

No doubt, everyone needs to stay positive. I actually had about 4 nights decent sleep and then last night I had insomnia again. It comes and goes in waves.

I woke up a few times with anxiety then a panic attack. My anxiety has been awful the past few days. I’m hoping my husband and move our treadmill in hopes of that helping. I need to do something I’ve been so anxious lately and feel incredibly anxious all day.

Hi all. I know the feeling!! I’m having more anxious days also and had a panic attack last night. I’m on almost 4 weeks of Prozac ( I increased last Friday) and I just don’t have faith it’s helping. I feel it’s still causing more ocd/anxiety and intrusive thinking. I’m in constant contact with my pdoc who keeps telling me to hang in there and still give it more time. I know the feeling of defeat. But we can do this, we are here for each other.

Mel! I have been thinking of you! Was Prozac the med your genetic testing came back to try? I haven’t got my test results back yet but I go on the 26th of this month. Seems like forever away, I have my wedding come up and I’m afraid I’m gonna have panic attacks until then and of course the day of. I plan on running soon just waiting for my treadmill to be installed. These last few days have been trialing. I’m glad we all have each other because at times I feel very alone in my feelings and emotions around this ugly disorder.

H, yes it was a match! But I’m just thinking since my anxiety is high and still need to give it more time I feel it’s not working. I’m so glad as well. You can still email anytime too😘

I have it all time high ,with flu and weather change it gets terrible.

I have severe anxiety and cannot function.

But there are days when I try to care for myself and pick up pieces and go on short trips outdoors and function ok.

I have small goals and try to keep myself sane and take my meds regularly.
I do not have insurance or I would be in patient in psychiatric care for 2 week programs -it costs abt 500 a day as I inquired.
I do not have that kind of funds for my health.
I really need help but at same time looking for a psychiatrist is double wreck.
I am taking care of my health including mental health.
I do have PTSD and anxiety and depression,no psychosis or schrizophernia otherwise it was a game changer.

Having health insurance is extremely important.
I try to manage mine but now a days its terribly high.

Sometimes I have weeks feeling okay.. not perfect but at least manageable. But then there are times like now that it does not stop and it is constant. I am hoping to get a few decent days soon! Hope you get some too.

Thanks guys. I’m lucky if I have a handful of hours without anxiety. My psychiatrist thinks I metabolize differently which I’m hoping to find out more when we get my results in 2 weeks. I’m just over being on this constant roller coaster. My fiancé is such an amazing support system and my fight is not only for myself but them.

Today started off rough because I had bad anxiety at night. I was fine mid day but then it came back in the afternoon. I wish I could get a few days back to back anxiety free!
