I feel fake
December 21, 2008 11:51pm
I know the trick to anxiety is to accept it, and not to let the symptoms control what you do. The thing is...I rarely do. This is the third time I am …

I realized that when I go through these episodes, I tend to punish myself. It's like I restrict myself from doing anything fun until I am …

Close Depression
I don't normally suffer from depression, but as soon as I enter an episode of anxiety, it's not long before depression comes with it. Wouldn't anyone be depressed if they felt anxious all day long everyday for no clear reason?
Close Anxiety
Currently in my 3rd episode of extreme anxiety. I've gone months in between where it's not even on my mind, but when it comes back, it comes back hard. It sucks because I really didn't see this coming...I had a panic attack at work after a few stressful days and battling a head cold, and it all took off from there. It's basically constant physical nervousness from the moment I wake up. Who wants to wake up shaking and nervous everyday?
Treatments
- Acupuncture Not Working
- Tried it twice...too expensive and didn't think it would help
- Breathing Exercises Somewhat Helpful
- I do them, but I don't have attacks...my anxiety is constant, so breathing just distracts me temporarily. The anxiety is always there regardless.
- Clonazepam Somewhat Helpful
- Each time my anxiety comes back, I start using this again. I have gone a full year without touching it, but that's also because I've gone a full year without anxiety.
- Lexapro Somewhat Helpful
- Who knows? I went on it last year because I was at rock bottom, and I thought it pulled me out and was what helped me...but now I'm back to where I was a year ago and I'm still on it. I guess it's not really doing anything now.
- Positive Thinking Working / Worked
- It's tough to be happy when each time you think you've beat anxiety for good, it comes back and you have to start all over again, but I try hard to keep my happy and fun-loving personality!
- Yoga Somewhat Helpful
- I love yoga except sometimes it gives me too much time to think.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Too Soon to Tell
- Third time going to therapy since anxiety entered my life...each time I get better I stop going but now Im back because Im bad again. Im working really hard to change and learn to accept this.
Open Panic Attacks
I've probably only had a handful of full blown panic attacks, but it's always the way my episodes of constant anxiety start...then I just feel like I'm on the verge of panic for months straight, but it rarely mounts
Treatments
- Klonopin Working / Worked
- Acceptance Working / Worked
- I just let it come and go but I feel as though my panic never really mounts
- Lexapro Somewhat Helpful
- I guess not since I was on it for a year when I had an attack in October that started this all up again
