Wish I could help you except to say I experience the same thing. I wish it would go away too. You get used to less anxiety and then it flares back up. All I can say is it seems to be how it works. Good luck!

Hi, my anxiety comes and goes also. I worry each time that something dreadful will happen but I push through it. I guess I just try to be really thankful for the good days. Know that you are not alone!!

I go through periods of time where I feel mostly normal. Sure there are times when it comes and goes, but it does not rule everything every minute of every day. Then I get periods of time like yesterday and today and who knows how long from now. It comes on, you think you can keep it under control, but it is like a giant wave hitting you when all you saw was a small swell. I am going through that right now so I feel you. I hate it. I hate the way it makes me feel and think and fear.

I am sorry you are going through this. Have you talked to your dr about maybe adding or changing meds when it kicks up like this?

I sometimes fear that my anxiety will come back and never go away. But so far it hasn't. I remember all those feelings of dread, intense fear, like a storm was brewing no matter what I did. I hated that feeling. I've been fortunate so far though... mine has stayed away. Not sure wether it's the 10mg of lexapro, or wether my hormones have just decided to be nice to me. But the worst thing my anxiety has done lately is give me a little insomnia.

Kudos too all of you who deal with it on a regular basis. You are awesome!

Yes i have phases of anxiety and sometimes i can be completely free of it, if only for a day or two but then it rears its ugly head. Would do anything no to suffer from anxiety and panic, but i just try and cope with it as i know its not going to go away for good. Enjoy the good days and try and help yourself on those rough days and dont let it get the better of you! x

look to see if it is trying to point out a problem for you to solve.

Thank you so much to each of you!! You have given me hope. Today is a better day not "normal" as in "my normal" but today I don't have the fear of ending up feeling this way forever. I am so grateful and thankful for that. I have been told by my dr that I can take an extra dose of the klonipin if I need. I do also, in my journal, write down everythig that crosses my mind on these days and try to pick out what could be causing this. Sometimes when I can overcome one fear (like getting something done that is hanging over my head that I am worrying about) it lets a little pressure off. It's just that they all seem to ball up into one thing. I am so glad each of you responded. You have each given me hope!!!!!

Here's some more hope! The same thing happens to me...what you need to try to do is each time you begin to feel anxious, don't let it frighten you. When you feel it comming think "okay, here it comes..I know it'll pass..I'm not gonna letit scare me" if it still comes full force breathe and try having someone talk you thru it that you knowwill make you feel better. Also, when I cry I notice it goes away faster. Try changing the way u look at the attacks and how u think about them...eventually there will be no fear and you'll be attackfree! A goodstory ofhopeforyou...my mother suffered from terrible panic dissorder for 6 months straight...she didn't take any meds but she fought thru it with therapy and everything I said..she just kept telling herselfshe wasntgoing to let this ruin her and she tried hard to not let it scare her..it took time but she's almost 100% anxiety free now! I admire her for this so much.I'm onmy way there and can help u out as well if u ever need more help feel free to email me!

Thank you VioletOctober!! It gives me more hope that I can conquer this and not let it conquer me!
