Ok stress is at max, trying to do breathing and self talk but not doing much good. My heart is beating fast and hard and feels like I am not getting enough air although I am sure I am.

Oh I hate when this happens.

On top off weather today I have been buying and selling things and having to meet with people in person which is something I don't do very well either. So my anxiety has a lot of triggers today. I know I am going to live through the anxiety most likely but boy I sure would love to get it to calm down already.

T2r:Everyone needs to learn to deal with this kind of stress, but it is a problem for many of us, this is
exactly why I used Xanax to get through the work day, I didn't use much maybe half of one but it would take the edge of and sometimes stop the breathless sensation, "this feeling makes the stress worse".

Just understand you are not alone, and what you feel even though its uncomfortable, it is not harmful.
Peace

I have some ativan but have not taken any yet. Meds give me anxiety so I haven't been able to do it yet.

Ahh yes, but the Ativan is to help relieve the anxiety.... It doesn't take the place of your coping skills, but it can assist you so that you can practice them more fully for better results! :)
