General anxiety question

Hi everybody, I'm new here.

I wanted to start off asking does anyone else's anxiety rise dramatically once the days get shorter and late fall winter arrives. Year after year I experience the same situation. My anxiety is so much worse during the winter. By the way I live in the Northeast.

Since late November rolled around bang anxiety spikes, chest tightness, chest pains etc.

Thanks

Hi Racing and welcome!

A lot of people have trouble during the Fall and Winter months. Have you and your doctor discussed the possibility of SAD? (seasonal affective disorder)

Perhaps by doing so you can also explore your treatment options.

The good news is that in about 4 days...the days are going to start getting longer...

...but until then, see about consulting with your doctor to get the advice that could help.;)

Post with us anytime.
