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. However, such feelings that linger over time and are very difficult to cope with, and which lack a clear cause, may indicate...
Well right now I am at work so tired because I have been up all night with bad anxiety! Last night it was so hard for me to fall asleep because I was short of breath and my heart was racing like crazy. This has been happening ever since the birth of my son and I havent been able to enjoy my child because I have this bullshit going on! My mom and grandmother have stepped in to help because I was so bad. I have never had this happen to me before I have heard of a lot of woman going through this right after they have kids. I am only 24 years old I dont go anywhere I dont do anything just for the simple fact I am afraid of being somewhere and something happens. I have had so many test done its not even funny. In October I was in and out of the hospital and doctors office and guess what everytime I walked out they told me I was fine. Deep inside it feels like its something serious but I know its not. The shortness of breath really scares me because sometimes I feel like I am suffocating or its a sensation of not getting enough air and then I think OMG Im going to die. I get on the internet looking up stuff and that makes it worse. One website actually said that a panic attack can be deadly ive never heard of that happening before. I ran out of ativan and now my doctor put me on clonazepam so I am going to start taking that because I just want to feel normal again not tense all the time. I just need all the support I can get.
I know it is hard but I am proof it will get better. I have my first panic attack when I was 8 month pregnant. All the things your feeling I had. I read an article where they were trying to link pregancy and the changes in body and hormones to panic attacks. It will get better. When mine first began I never went any place unless I could not get out of it. I don't know where you read they are deadly because with so many people having then if they were we be dropping like flies LOL...:)......I have had seasons of great peace I have placed my trust in God to deal with them because part of my anxiety is I hate medcine so I would never take anything because I would read the side effects and that would stop me. I hope you can find something to help you but also keep trying other things. Someone is having great success with taking Bcomplex and magnesumn so perhaps that could help you. There is no magic cure or pill or book that will cure if there was none of us would be here. I would encourage you to pray and I am giving you a great site that will give you hope your not alone.....www.seasonofpeace.com I found great strenght and hope that this will not control me my whole life.... I am here if you need a friend or just encouragment.....God Bless You:)
