I been suffering from it since I dont know when. I guess I was not aware of it. Just people would treat me different after a few days. Finally in 2007 it kicked in and I had no idea what it was. after that, it would hit me daily at any time of the day. Got so bad, I actually walked into a busy intersection and was hit by a car. Did not feel anything, Felt like a dream.

Tokyomatt , Welcome to HealingWell and the A & P Forum . This is the place to come if you have questions or concerns about anxiety/panic, related medications and their side effects and recovery. Some of our members have been living with anxiety and related disorders for years, while others are new to this disorder. I'm sorry that your anxiety is so bad and really affecting you in a negative way. Do you have a therapist, if not; do you think you could try to get one? It's hard to try to deal with this on your own. Certain therapies, like Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy can usually be really beneficial for GAD and other anxiety disorders. Perhaps you would like to share a bit more about your anxiety so the members will understand just what you are dealing with. Kindly, Kitt

Hi TM and welcome!

I echo Kitt's words in hoping that you are working with a therapist who can help you gain the skills to manage your anxiety and panic.

There are also some great ideas for self-help in our Resources here:

They can enhance any work that you are currently doing to help lessen your overall stress levels. The breathing, progressive muscle relaxation and meditation are very beneficial when practiced daily.:)

Keep talking with us. Support is key!
