Hello all,
Just wanted to say thank you all for being so open, helpful and affirming. I have not posted anything here before, but have spent countless hours reading through this forum. Anxiety seems to have completely taken over my life over the past few months. It's horrible, and I can relate to a lot of the posts I have read here. I have had some of the worst panic attacks recently. They are so bad and I have been so absolutely certain that I was going to die. I have been to the ER because I couldn't decipher whether the physical symptoms I have were real or if they were anxiety. After multiple tests nothing was wrong with me. It's so mind blowing how anxiety can cause such severe physical symptoms. I am so tired of it. I am tired of being afraid of everything all of the time, and I am tired of fearing when and where the next panic attack will be. I have overcome so much in the past that I am so discouraged that this seems to have come out of nowhere. It's like "is this really happening?" I have found a therapist that I really really like (which is unusual for me, haha) and am prepared to do anything to help myself.
In short, just wanted to say thank you for all of the advice you have posted on here. You all are amazing.
