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.

Question!

Hello everyone, 


i just want to discuss how I have been feeling and could use some input! I had my first ever anxiety attack last week. My doctor diagnosed it as an anxiety attack and said it could be caused from having so much going on in my life. I've never felt so down before it's almost scary? I feel dizzy and all I think about is when my next anxiety attack is going to come...which just makes matters worse. I have a great boyfriend, loving family....sometimes I just don't understand how this is all happening so suddenly. I was fine a month ago! 


Does anyone else ever feel like garbage a week after an anxiety attack? I just want to lay around all day everyday - but I force myself to do things. I have a vacation planned and I leave next week...I'm almost terrified I'm going to have an anxiety attack on the vacation!

I can completely relate. And it makes me wonder why am I so anxious when I have a good life. But we need to know there is nothing wrong with us. Our brains are just extra aware. I also am nervous about a vacation too. I'm supposed to go to india in April and am super scared. Let me know how your trip goes! And just focus on the good

Anxiety is natural. Stay hydrated. Relax, breathe, and know if you feel awkward, it's normal.

Enjoy the vacation!

I can also relate. I feel intense anxiety about many things in my life like work and social interaction. Medication has actually helped me a lot. I hope you find something that works for you.

Totally normal and our bodies are basically prepping us for the next "battle"! Always take some time for yourself during the day and remember you are going to be okay. As I write this I had to pop a xanax at work because I was experiencing major panic...my brain would just not quit! I send you all the love in the world and whenever you feel that "feeling" remember you are not alone <3

    My therapist really knocked some sense into me last Friday about my spending.  She said that there are needs and there are wants.  She said that there is always going to be cheap stuff to buy, but do I need it?  The answer is mostly "no".  So today, I am taking back some things that I bought online at Kohl's, namely a 9 x 12 rug and a quilt for my bed.  I also bought sheets that I don't need...
