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.

hey, ok i experianced someting weird the other day. i was fine and then i got on the bus and i started to think people were staring at me, so then this guy moved and he sat behind me, i could smell him and hear his breating and it proper freaked me out- i wanted to move seats but i couldnt. i was raped a few weeks ago but ive always thaught people were "after me" etc. but this time on the bus i was convinced the man behind me would follow me or something. when i got off the bus he stayed on the bus, just an innocent passanger but i was still anxious. i kept looking over my shoulder and thaught everyone was looking at me. when i got in i went light headed and my heart rate had increased, i felt so sick.
does anyone know what the hell happened to me?!
and...what do i do about it.

Hi there, what an awful experience you have been through. It sounds vey much like anxiety brought on by the traumatic stress of what you've been through. You have anxiety and paranoia becuase of what you have experienced. I have had bad encounters with people in the past where I did nothing to them, but they treated me really badly and you remember these things, but nothing as bad as you've experienced. My advice would be to seek help immediately by seeing a doctor or a therapist. Take care.

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...
