I have had this feeling so many times , I can relate to what you must be going through . What I have tried to do is , distract myself somehow . Listen to music , bake a cake ?? , go for a walk etc . I hope this helps , please let me know how you are doing .

i'm feeling much better atm, when i was feeling panicked i started the old i'm scared thoughts again, but then i remembered something i read the other day that said fear fuels the fire, so i said to myself what am i scared of, and laughed at myself, well i stopped panicking but i burst into tears, ahh such a mess. and usually i would go for a walk but it's 3 a.m. in australia and i don't think it's be too safe. thanx for replying. xx means alot

rach, sometimes it helps to make a list of what triggers your anxiety --- just writing it down seems to help lessen the fear when I do get anxious. hang in there honey. you are not alone in this.

I'm jealous that you are crying. I don't remember the last time I cried. For some reason, I just can't do it.

Take comfort in the fact that you are not alone in your icky feeling.

when i was on zoloft, a few years ago for depression, i couldn't cry, it sucked, i went on zoloft coz i did nothing but cry, then when i took it i could not cry, even at the most saddest moments of my life, ppl would cry around me and i would stand there seemingly emotionless, i know what it's like. but yeah i love this place, i'm never alone in these silly feelings. thanx everyone
