General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another. However, such feelings that linger over time and are very difficult to cope with, and which lack a clear cause, may indicate...

Hello everyone im new here just found this site today. I also suffer from axiety and panic attacks. Feels like your going to have a heart attack. i also suffer from depression and chronic lower back pain ever since my back surgery things went down hill. had my surgery in august 2005 then in december 2006 my grandfather passed away then in february 2007 my husbands grandmother passed away she was like my grandma i have been with him since i was 14yrs old. Then in the same week his mom had a stroke and my other grandfather was diagnosed with congestive heart failure. Now dying scares the crap out of me i think about it alot. I am getting to where i cant go out in public because it feels like everyone is staring at me and judging me i used to not care but now it makes me have a panic attack to leave the house. I feel like a prisoner in my own body i cant get away from it. My husband says get over it but its easier said than done. Anytime i have to go anywhere i have to take my meds because i can feel them coming on. Here lately i have been having more attacks than usual i guess its time to go back to the doc thanks for listening and hopefully i can meet some new friends on here. I live out in the country with no one to talk to so im hoping to find some friends on here that i can chat with about my problems and theirs have a good night thanks suzie

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...

I want you to know that you are NOT alone in this. We all are here for you.
I used to have really bad panic attacks when I was in my 20's. I got to the point that I stayed home and let life pass me by. My husband and all the other people in my life seemed perfectly fine and could do anything.
I had hardly any friends, so I used to wish for anyone to even talk to.
I prayed that things would change.
Well, they did. It took some time, but I began to get out and accepted my anxiety more and more.
I like to shop and be with people too much to stay home!
Also, I just moved from Illinois to Arizona two years ago and had to start over.
Sometimes I feel like everyone else is ok and I am not. Well, that is not true.
One book I bought that has helped me tremendously is called Panic To Power, by Lucinda Bassett.
You already responded to my post about palpitations, but if I can help you, please feel free to contact me.
Love,

I'm sorry about all of your loss and stress. You really do need to get your husband to understand what happens when your anxiety is acting up. I can totally relate to what you're talking about with dying. I've lost many people in my life over the years, and death is one of my biggest fears. I recently started taking Zoloft and started seeing a counselor. Both have helped me tremendously. We are all here for you and sending you support and hugs!
I have a bit of a different problem, I married a man whose wife of 24 years died suddenly with cancer. At 55, we met, and fell in love. We have a wonderful relationship, but he is constantly telling me "we have to live for today", "we don't know how long we have on this earth".
I understand his fear of losing me too, but sometimes, it's maddening. Now I am going through this darned depression, and anxiety, and he is trying so hard to help, but he doesn't know how. I know I am pushing him away, but he just doesn't understand.
I hope you find what you are looking for on here, I hope we both do.
It IS good just to write your feelings down.
