All because of a dizzy spell last week and a panic attack and an Er run, i have been a disaster the last week. im completely exhausted. seasick and lightheaded on and off, unless i take 1mg ativan, which eases the symptoms but im a closed lidded zombie. i wake woth amxiety right away every morning and stay in bed as lomg as i can. Not hungry and just a wreck. Have a drs appt on the 3rd and im terrified of drs. i camt stop thinking about it.. and now yesterday i woke woth a pinched nerve in my neck and the pain is so bad. just feel like im barely hanging on. If im upright i get lightheaded and if i lay down my pain is worse from posture. Waves of panic just keep hitting and the only thing stoppimg me from running to hospital is ativan. MY thoughts are totally on every feeling i have now. i dont know what to do. Scared, of what? im not even sure. Still walking around like a drunkin sailor, unbalanced weak. jist needed to vent.. anxiety is the worst!
hi mary…vent away! Sometimes that’s the only thing you can do!
1st…I’m sure you know this already, but anxiety makes you “crazed”!..your mind takes you all over the place, and you seem to have little control!
BREATHE!!!
it Really does help…in thru your nose and blow SLOWLY outta your mouth.
continue the ativan (just DON’T overtake!)
be kind to yourself, you’re not going crazy…be sure to keep your doctor’s appt. and be honest with him/her about what’s goin on!
good thoughts!!
everything you are experiencing so am I. I keep telling myself its just anxiety and the holidays make it worse!
