Hi I have GAD. I also have Fibromyalgia. I have some really bad days. i have to talk myself down all the time and even though I take meds they feel as though they don't help. I am in therpy and have a support system but when it starts up late at night and everyone is sleeping it is bad.
I was doing good most of the day. My pain had not set in yet and I was able to clean a little and do some baking. i had agreed to let my oldest son have a friend stay the night two 16 year olds and a well stocked fridge with video games all night. But now I am panicking. i have the ache in my chest and my heart is racing. i have no tranks and I have been reminding myself it is just a panic attack it will pass, trying to breath it through and now my pain is acting up causing my body to tense up with pain. Please just chat with me for awhile if anyone else is up and reading this.

The stress of coping with kids especially teenage ones (read my latest journal entry) I can fully sympathise with how you are feeling.
Positive thoughts are great, I notice you mentioned the baking, I often find doing simple and rewarding tasks such as cookery a way of removing the focus of the anxiety. I hope you had a good evening and that your anxiety and panic has passed, all the best
