Anxiety Support Group
Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. 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...
I ended up leaving work at 1pm yesterday, broke down crying. I felt like an idoit. This morning I woke in a total anxiety attack. I went to the Dr. yesterday when I left work and she upped my Zoloft to 100mg. I called the crisis line this morning because I don't know what else to do. I HAVE to work. They told me to walk in at 8am and I can see a crisis worker, so that is what I am going to do and then maybe I can go to work. What do you guys think?

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...

My ENT sent me for more tests last week...one where they had me lie back in a chair, with blacked out goggles on so I couldn't see while they administered water into my ears one at a time ( first warm, then room-tempurature, then cold) while they video taped my eyes and asked me questions to determine how cognizant I was...

Im sorry your in such a horrid place love.
You might want to ask but i think you can actually get disabillity if you are not able to work due to mental health problems, its worth asking about.
Do you have any family tht can come down and stay with you a bit to hel out?.
If you can afford you can allways tell work your going on emergency leave due to a sick relative, they dont have to know the real reason, just while your zoloft kicks in and helps.
Could you possibly do any of your work from home?
Are you seeing a physcologist who can help you with CBT and stratagies to get through your anxiety provoking issues.
I hope this has helped a little.
Warmest Wishes and Good Luck To You Freind!
I know it's scary to think that you won't be able to support yourself and your family, but this WILL NOT last forever. Allow yourself to take the time you need to do what is best for you.
I went to the appointment. It did not help me at all, made me worse actually. He just discussed things that had happened in the past and dredged up memories that I didn't need at this time. Anyway, I am following the Linden Method, which requires you not to discuss your anxiety, but divert you mind to other things in order to reprogram you mind. I am back at work today and feeling pretty good. Anyway, I am trying really hard to heal. When I am completely well, I will let you guys know. Maybe this method will help you as well.
Hugs,
