Yes anxiety sucks. But I will follow suit and list all the positives. I have become more social so that I can express myself more and not internalize my issues. I have realized that I have had...
Xanax will help take the edge off. For me coming down from it was hard because the anxiety comes right back. But don't let that turn you off from it. Take it so you can relax a bit and think straight...
First off, don't feel stupid. I "forget" to breath all the time now. Mostly because I sike myself out. It is a vicious cycle. In essence we do need to relax but unfortunately our minds won't allow us...
Yes, I will get "stuck" sometimes before I feel something coming on. Just let it ride over you. Please consider some b vitamins they have helped tremendously. So happy to see you doing well....
Thanks everybody. Hope your all doing good....
I've been there. Try to start unwinding like 3 to 4 hrs before your bedtime. Go lay down a half an hr before you want to sleep and do some deep breathing. And of course a Xanax may help until you...
Hello, I've been absent for a few days. Just wanted to catch up. I got some new liquid multi vitamins with high amounts of b and b12, on Thursday and I haven't had to take Xanax since Friday. That's...
Sometimes reading this stuff might make you anxious just try to go a happy place!!...
God bless you Larry!! Thank you so much for sharing your story. I hope your wife is feeling and doing better. My husband is very strong and I know he sees that same strength in me. He has definitely...
Oh yes! I definitely struggle with this. I am Christian and sometimes I feel as if there is a war raging behind me. Which side is going to win? But I believe I will win because where God is all evil...
Thanks LW13, I got the rhiodiola and it was the wrong kind but I'll be emailing my dr all the info. I've heard Zoloft to work well to, except for getting off of it. We'll see. LL, you are too funny...
I think that when we have these feelings we want an answer for it. A reason beyond ourselves that is at fault. I mean why would we do this to ourselves? It is mental I believe, when I talk to my...
Nice to meet you. They should be able to prescribe some Zoloft like they did me. It takes a few weeks to kick in bit from what I heard it works good. I got .25 mg of Xanax which I only take half of,...
Thanks Larry!! Just wanted to tell you that your last line really helped me, accept and get well. It was very powerful at the moment. Thank you for the prayers, god bless you. Thanks to everybody...
Ya, my mom said should she took some Xanax for a week, felt fine and quit it cold turkey. Lol, she's a little weird about being to hot and having windows open but she fine otherwise....
Yes, I understand where his frustration comes from though. I can't just up and leave because when i come back everything here will be the same. I like the mini getaway though. I hope to get a gym...
My kids are 4.5 and 2. With my 2nd baby I was very emotional during the pregnancy and even when I would breastfeed her I would get this rush of anxiety until I was done. I went through a little bout...
Ladies with kids, ever wonder if this has something to do with our hormones? You know they say this stuff just randomly happens but I don't believe that! So your telling me I was totally normal last...
Thanks Av, I sent my dr and email last night and I look forward to her response this morning. The heartbeat luckily went away after an hour not like the night before. I actually got some good rest...
I took half a .25 Xanax at 1pm at around 3pm I felt this hot feeling around my face. And started getting an anxious feeling deep in my belly but was able to get over it by continuing to do my...
Thanks theisomotion31!! Me and my hubby saw it on the back of truck once when we got married and thought it was funny, I've been using it ever since. Ya great tip about the music, it was helping me a...
Thanks little wing for the support. It's been another rough day. I'm just so sick of feeling bad for myself, so sick of not being my full potential, so sick of being sick. Just took another Xanax. I...
I feel your pain. I'm in the same boat as you. What has helped me deep breathing techniques. Just stopping when I get that horrible feeling and pay attention toy breathing. I was trying to do this...
Thank you for the kind encouraging words. I had a tough nights sleep. That Xanax only lasted two hrs and as soon as it was done my heart started racing again. Although my breathing was ok because...
Today was really tough. I woke up with anxiety and spent the rest of the day with it. I broke down and finally took some medication, after almost passing out while driving (forgetting how to breath)....
Happy I can help. This forum has helped me a lot. Talking about it with others eases the mind a little. Just keep deep breathing. Also trying looking up on YouTube breathing techniques, there are...
Yes, I went through the same thing yesterday! It sucks but it is what it is. My hubby gave me a pep talk yesterday: Me:every day is a new challenge, today I have to remember to breath! Do I have to...
I have started a routine that seems to be helping me: In the morning after my hubs goes to work I give the 2 kids my iPhone and they each play for 15 min. During that half an hour I read my bible and...
I felt the same about drinking. That awkward social situation. But then it flipped on me I became awkward when I drank. At least that's how I felt. Maybe you need some new friends? And I get the...
Thanks for the support. It's getting easier, just lots of deep breathing. Just have to except this is my life right now. And not let those crazy thoughts take control....
I'm experiencing this for the first time at 27. The most scariest thing ever to feel like your on he edge of life and death and to really be nowhere even close. Our bodies playing tricks on us. Mind...
Thank you so much for this!! I love the part where you say you would have died many times over. I am not happy that you've suffered but I am happy that you've survived are now sharing it with...
I believe you can! I have a love/hate relationship myself with drinking. Just a month ago I made a decision to just stop. I was successful until my babies Bday I decided to have one glass of wine....
So for about 24 hrs I've been forgetting to breath. I had a panic attack last Thursday (Misdiagnosed as dehydration when I went to ER) Went to ER again on Monday and dr confirmed to me it was...
