General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another.

I'm Trying

I have somewhat accepted that I have a driving fear,  if I'm either passenger or driver. I drove to the beach today with my brother and I was at a anxious level 8...I am trying to face this unpleasantness. Unfortunately, when I got to the beach I couldn't get out of my head and enjoy myself. It was upsetting. My boyfriend said " you won't grow as a person and you can't be rescued when you have an attack." That hurt me so much! He knows I suffer from debilitating panic and anxiety. I am doing everything in my power to help myself...and while that should be consoling, it's not. I don't know anymore and I hate the way my mind works. I hope others can relate.

I relate all too well, Summerbabe. Those days when my absolute best is barely even survival are ouchie in the extreme. Where's my miracle cure???

As much as I wish for a miracle intervention, it remains a painful fact of my anxious life that nobody can rescue me when I have an attack. !!WTF!! Not even my knight in shining armor? Who made up these rules, anyway?

Summer, we are here because those without these conditions have not experienced these things, and therefore cannot understand what goes on within us. We do. Calming and comforting hugs.

Hugs* I am sorry this happened. Always here for you. Had a few panic attacks in the car recently. I know the anxiety is horrible. I am proud of you for driving to the beach. You pushed yourself to do it. Sending you positive vibes. Many blessings dear friend.

    I did the dumbest thing today.  I charged my earbuds, unplugged the block and put the block in my little bag instead of the earbuds.  I wasn't happy about that when I got to the gym.  What a dummy!

    Ever since I stopped doing therapy because of insurance, I've been feeling that old tense and irritable sense of anxiety and stress. I hate that. I was making so many strides and changes during therapy, my therapist would acknowledge all of my progress and accomplishments, and I miss that reassurance. Today I thought about it, and I made those changes! She would always tell me that I chose to...
