Just joined, my anxiety attacks come daily now. I had AFib last may and now I think everything is a heart attack or stroke. I know that's not true because my EKG was good and my heart is back to normal. Ive been taking citolpram for 10 years but it's not working as normal. I'm trying Klonopin now for when it gets bad and it works for a couple of hours. Just want to eventually handle my anxiety again. I started therapy and I will see how it works. Using hypnosis for anxiety and vagus nerve exercises. They help sometimes, but it still comes back. Thank you

hello aschaud. welcome to ds. sorry for what brings you here but glad you are here.

handling your anxiety again is an imminently achievable goal. in my own method of managing my own anxiety, peer support is priceless. a safe place to vent and sort my anxieties of the day helps me focus the issues and figure out precisely when, where and how to focus which of my management tools. just knowing i am not alone in the struggle helps more than i can say.

this very forum is one of the places i do precisely that. i hope it serves you as well as it has served me. welcome aboard. you are not alone.

    I haven't written in my diary on my computer since May because I thought that my computer was dying.  I got away from writing but my computer is hanging in there.  I think that I will start writing in it again.  It's so therapeutic.

    Reality Check

    Years ago, I won a mirrored armoire from my job.  It's in my bedroom but I rarely stand in front of it.  Yesterday, I had to have a dexascan done so I had to change into a gown.  There was a full length mirror in the changing room.  I'm aware that I gained 5 to 7 pounds over the last year from cheating on Keto but I didn't know what it looked like.  It was a reality check.
