Hi and welcome!

I am sorry to hear that you have been suffering anxiety and its symptoms lately. It can affect all aspects of your life, but like you said you are not alone...and there is help available!

If you are not wanting to try medication, there are other options. You could look into therapy. Group therapy, or one-on-one, like a CBT program would be a good idea to help you gain recovery.

If you prefer, there are self-help books and DVD's that have a good success rate. You can get some good recommendations here if you like from member's who have done this method.

We also have an Anxiety-Panic Resource Guide right here on the first page (2nd post) that has links to breathing and relaxation exercises to try...and on-line therapy. Practicing these things daily will lower your over-all anxiety levels and symptoms.

Keep talking with us as well. There is a lot of information, caring and support from being in this group...and that in itself is a healing step.:)

Talk to you soon,

S.C.

Hi gemma!
Let me just say, you are NOT going crazy. I used to have odd thoughts about my existance, about whether or not I was developing some kind of serious dissociative disorder, and sometimes, incessant and random violent thoughts. Because of this, I'd have anxiety attacks and this horrible sense of unreality that would stay for days.
In the past few months, I've had my ups and downs, but nowhere near as bad as it used to be. I had to keep reminding myself that it was just a phase, and just another part of my journey in this world. Also, you're not alone! I've found this forum to be of great help as well! I'll be keeping you in my thoughts! :)
