Felt ok and then bam!

Hi

Sorry to read you woke up feeling good but then had a down turn it sounds like you may be having some side effects from your medication?? Have you just started them??. I am not a doctor so it is always good to check in with them if you are worried. You will feel better try and stay in the moment and relax the best you can maybe get some music on that always helps me.

Hibee

Laura,
Thankfully yes you will feel better. Sometimes it takes a while, and other times it comes out of the blue, and you feel better. I had really bad anxiety in 2005, and it lasted a few years. It went away for a while again, and then it came back with a vengenance once again recently..Its a process, and it sucks really bad..There are many people on here to offer more ways to help you. There are some really good people on this site, and they have helped me. I had the numbness and tingling with my attacks alot. It can make our anxiety way worse. I have lightheadedness alot too with mine. This anxiety stuff is real and can cause many physical symptoms. It does, and can get better with coping skills, and the right medication. Wishing you well, good luck.

Your welcome,
I will tell you that finding this forum, when my anxiety was full force, was a blessing. To hear others stories, I didn't feel alone anymore. Trying to get people to understand, that has never been through it, is almost impossible. I used to get the numbness/tingling really bad, and thought for sure I was having a stroke. All my tests would come back fine, and then not having a diagnosis, people thought I was lying. It's a long hard road, but thankfully, lately I have been doing much better. I would get most of mine while driving, and for a long time, I didn't want to drive anywhere. When I would have to drive, I would have anxiety knowing I would be in the car, and then It was worse, before I left. Keep posting on here, it really does help. Thank you for the wishes also.

I sometimes get that way too, when my guy worked midnights I was always worried about something happening and being alone. My daughter is 12, and she knows what to do if something happens, but it makes me even more worried for her to see me the way I would get. Thankfully my sisters are awesome, and always try helping me figure out whats wrong. I am the youngest of 7. My husband on the other hand, doesn't understand, and thinks I need to quit freaking out, and nothings wrong with me. That does make it hard, when things happen. I am so grateful though, I have recently had some really good days. I don't know what I'm doing thats different, but I'm trying to keep it up. I do think I have come to terms with I have anxiety, and when something happens I can calm myself down now. I tell myself, I have had this so many times. The last time I went to the E.R. and they even ran the enzyme test twice, I started to reassure myself.. The only thing I can't overcome yet, is the dizzyness I will get at times.

Hoping today is a better day for you!! Sending calm and peacful thoughts...and wishes for a symptom free Tuesday.:)
