Hello I am new to this forum and I just wanted to talk to people who suffer from anxiety as well as I feel like mine has gotten so much worse and that's causes me more anxiety lol. Is there anyone else that can relate?
I was just put on meds. I was fine on em for a week and now I'm having all day anxiety. I'm going through the day feeling like im dying.
I can relate. I've had anxiety since 2009 at age 28
So far I've had 5 major panic attacks since then.
I get bouts of anxiety with palpitations here and there through all these years but I've always been able to calm myself by drinking chamomile tea, drinking water and deep breaths.
But the past few weeks I think I've been overwhelmed with a lot of things including my son's 1st bday party coming up this Sunday and then his baptismal on Easter Sunday, then a week ago was my oldest son's bday and my hubby's bday.
So maybe with so much going on and planning it triggered the panic attacks!
It's annoying coz I can't get on with my normal activities, it's scary. I have 3 kids and I try to put my focus on them to get me through these attacks.
It's nice to know I am not alone.
Welcome to the forum, I just joined so in I'm new too.
I hope we'll be able to get help on how to manage this.
Thanks for sharing your story!
I know the feeling I'm on Valium as needed and only thing it does is makes me tired the anxiety is still there I hope you feel better
Yes I can relate I have health anxiety. So every single ache and pain I freak out and cause my self more anxiety it's like a never ending cycle I hope you feel better
It is very common for that to happen. It's like an anxiety circle. It just keeps going and going. We have to learn to break that circle! Go to your doctor if you have health anxiety and ask for test. Even if it's just your anxiety it will give you some peace of mind that everything physically is okay and there's really nothing to worry about. I've done this and I've felt better in the past two days than I have in a month. I'm also on sertraline so I think that's helping. My anxiety was terrible and I know some people choose not to go the medication route but if anything to give you peace of mind go to your doctor and let them do whatever test possible to ease your mind. Even if you think you sound crazy to them lol they are your doctor and that's what they are there for is to help you! They won't think you're crazy
Hey omg I get heart palpitations too. Does it feel like your heart is skipping a beat? It's scary because sometimes I feel like im not even stressed and bam I get palpitations and I hate them. I'm so scared to go to the dr as I'm scared I have a heart problem. I went to the dr last week and I had a panic attack my heart rate was 140 and my dr freaked out which made me worse. He said anxiety doesn't make your heart rate go up like that so than I panicked more. Ugh I'm a mess
