well...I am thinking of you and hope your get through today's struggle. I am sure you're not the only one feeling this way today...that might help

Wow me and you are on the same page. I wanted run away and go home and curl up in a ball. I still feel really weird and tired from all the anxiety today. I got a promotion even with my anxiety imagine that. So I am training people. Talk about freeking out. Since my anxiety I FREAK!!! When I am around people. I never use to be this way. But just remember that no matter what happens. ANXIETY HAS NEVER KILLED OR HURT A SINGLE PERSON. That is a fact. I know you might feel like hell and that life could end at any moment. God knows I did today. But hang in there. We will make it through.

I spoke with my boss about taking a week off next week and she told me she noticed a change in me and that she understands and if I need anything she will be there for me. I told her I felt like I was letting her down and she said no and that if I need anything let her go. I feel bad I started looking for another job and might leave but I'm not sure if it's my anxiety or what but I feel like I need a change. I really love the people hear and the work is good but I feel like I'm not that confident anymore. Jcutler & LadyAmber thank you for your kind words. I really need to hear that from other people.

I read you just started a new med...could this be adding to your anxiety? Med's usually have side effects, and some can add to your anxiety.
I hope you make it, even one minute at a time... everyone is struggling.
~~~we are here for you~~~~

I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL WORKED LONG TIME WITH ANEXITY ATTACKS;
BAD ENOUGH TO MAKE YOU THINK YA HAVING A HEART ATTACK.IS THERE TENSION OR NEW WORKERS THAT MIGHT MAKE YOU FEEL JUMPY.
TRY TO FIND THE SOURCE OF WHERE YOUR ATTACKS BEGIN. KNOW YOU CAN FEEL IT COMING ON -I FEEL IT IN MY THROAT. EVERYONE HAS APLACE ON THERE BODY THAT SOMETHING TRIGGERS BEFORE ATTACK. WHEN YA FEEL ATTACK COMING ON -BEAWARE OF YOUR SURROUNDINGS GOOD,BE AWARE WHO'S THERE - WHERE IN BUILDING YA AT. ONCE YOU THINK YOU HAVE FOUND THE SOURCE DISTANCE YOURSELF FROM IT AS MUCH AS POSSBILE. GOD BE WITH YOU IN YOUR TIMES OF NEED. AND YA CAN HOLLER AT ME ANYTIME.DOING THAT HELPED ME SOME .

just give it time be patient with yourself youwill fel better if you journal or not but write down when you are feeling really anxious and see if there is a pattern.

jerry, I can relate. I used to be so confident at work - a star player! Then when my anxiety kicks in, I lose all confidence and question whether or not I can really do my work. I also question my capability.
I also used to be a very assertive (almost aggressive) driver. I have driven for years and years, all across the country, Europe, etc. People have always been impressed with my driving - and that I had never been in any accidents or speeding tickets. And that I can get somewhere safely in much less time than most people.
But recently I had an accident - it wasn't even my fault, I got rear ended at a stop light and the young girl even admitted it was her fault (there was no doubt anyway). Ever since then, or maybe even before then, I'm not sure now - I have lost the confidence I used to have when driving. I can feel the anxiety coming over me on the road, and I hate it. I want that confidence back so badly.

I know exactly how u feel. I have been praying to God to give me strength. I don't want to keep waking up feeling anxious and scared. I think that this site will help us and especially if we all stick together and learn from each other how to deal with these feelings.

IBELIEVE BEETLES SUGGESTION;
IS WHAT THIS SITE IS ALL BOUT-ONE BIG FAMILY -BEING THERE FOR EACH OTHER AS WE ARE NEEDED-ARE HAVING SOME ONE FOR OURSELF WHEN WE NEED SOME ONE.

Thanks for the replies. My anxiety was so bad last night all I thought about was work and what I had to do when I got into work. I've been nervous the entire night and so far this morning. My wife set me up with someone to talk to on the phone today who is going to see what type of person I need to talk to too. God i hope it helps.

I hear you i had an attack at work today myself and i have had to leave early for the past two days i hope the same thing about me i hope you are feeling better

I am thinking of you, and hope your anxiety ceases. I know it's hard. Hang in there
