I could def use a little confidence. I had a couple days about a month into sobriety where I had some drinks. It def feels like it set me back a little. Now that I realized how awful drinking made me...
TX, thank you so much for sharing that story with me. It confirms what exactly I'm going through. I thought I was losing my mind. My symptoms started with the worst panic attack imaginable as well...
I feel like I'm taking 3 steps forward and then 2 steps back. I guess I'm moving in the right direction though. If I knew this was part of post acute alcohol withdrawal it would be easier to ride...
Thanks Funk! I've managed to go 1.5 days without a Klonopin. Really trying to keep myself busy. Hope everyone is making progress! One day at a time....
Hey Gill. Today was tough but I handled it the best I could. I got a call early from my best friend that is getting married soon (I'm the best man) and found out his fiancé died in a horrible car...
Reviving and old thread. I've been suffering from panic, anxiety, and overall ill feeling. Today I got the blood test back from my Dr showing positive for the MTHFR 1298 mutation. Anyone else get...
Thank you!...
Thanks for that post! That all makes a lot of sense. It may even be a combination of the alcohol causing the first few panic attacks and I may have developed panic disorder from it. Panic attacks are...
This forum is very supportive. Thanks everyone!...
Thanks Gilly! I def feel like I've made it through the toughest part. The lingering anxiety and depression is discouraging. Can anxiety and depression really linger this long after quitting? Assuming...
Yes I'm doing therapy but meditation and deep breathing do next to nothing. Its like I can just feel the anxiety flowing through my veins. I hardly ever feel calm with a sense of well being. I guess...
Long story short I quit drinking alcohol on September 12 or 13 this year. I drank nearly every day for 9-10 years. I would say an average of a six pack a day, maybe a little less but much more on the...
I just got on here to ask a similar question. 6 weeks ago I started suffering from major panic attacks and at the same time my appetite immediately disappeared and felt sick. Since then the severe...
Same as above. If I am home. I like to put my head under the shower as cold as it will go. It's enough of a distraction to reduce the panic attack. I find it VERY difficult to calm my anxiety or...
I will try meditation for a few days and see how I do with that. I may just be very sensitive to meds. I developed my anxiety/panic disorder about 6 weeks ago, came out of NOWHERE; If they say fear...
I suffer from horrible anxiety throughout the day and have always had trouble getting to sleep. Lately I've been using 3mg of time released melatonin to fall asleep. Around the same time I started...
If you are anything like me, you google way too much and over analyze every single anxiety symptom. When I'm having horrible anxiety or a panic attack, I cannot convince myself that all it is is...
Hey sunny! How are you doing today? What do you mean by apps? And what is up your alley? Sounds like we have similar family situations. My fiences family is exactly the same and I'm currently on my...
Sounds like you are on the right track! Sorry to hear about your miscarriage though :( Keep exercising and eat well!...
I've read that GABA supplements are pointless anyways due to the fact they do not cross the blood brain barrier. I've heard A LOT of good things about Ashwagandha. It's supposed to relax the nervous...
Cat suggested melatonin yesterday. I took one last night with some sleep tea and I had the best sleep in over a month. So thanks for that! However, the first half of my day, I felt really well and...
I've been trying the meditation thing. It works if my anxiety is low but if intense anxiety is already flowing through my veins or I'm in the middle of a panic attack, NOTHING helps. I usually stand...
I feel the same way. Even though I had blood work recently that only showed I was slightly low in vitamin D, I can't stop thinking something is wrong with my body. I'm 28 years old and severe anxiety...
I can't believe how supportive people are on these forums. These are the only people that actually know what you are going through. Not even Drs know what a severe panic attack really is like. So...
Awesome thanks for the link! I'm actually leaving the store right now. I picked up some melatonin! I'll have to try everything you mentioned. I will be sharing any updates and hopefully progress....
Thank you for the reply! The goal is to be able to return to work early next month. SSRI wouldn't be an option (still too long term). I feel like if I can get enough sleep routinely it would greatly...
And yes I am seeing a psychologist. He thinks I'm just under a ton of stress and my body finally caved. Now I fear the fear as they say and worry I'll never feel like my normal self again :/...
Unfortunately, due to my career I am not able to take any SSRIs. I'm not suppose to take klonopin either so I am currently doing administrative duties until I can get off all medications. This is...
I had a SEVERE panic attack about a month ago while driving. I ended up in the ER thinking I was dying. I KNEW I was going to die. In the weeks following, I ended up in the ER several more times....
