It seems like every time I think I am getting better I start feeling bad again. I am on medication now to help control this but I still have days that I feel normal and then for no reason I start feeling panicky again and worrying about dying. Does anyone else experience these up and downs and will I ever get to a point when I just feel good.

Hi,

I have had ups and downs with my anxiety for over 20 years! For the most part I have felt good but anxiety is part of my life and I have learned to accept it and cope with it. Therapy really helped. Also, I find that walking, yoga or running really help me to stay centered. Also, being tired or sick can really make my anxiety worse.

You have support here for sure!!

yes, i feel this way and havnt yet found a cure. but i try listening to soothing music and dancing. or doing something that you love doing, like a hobby. it will ease your mind for a while. just try to stay active, and if possible, try not to be alone. because when im alone,i dont know about you but thats when it hits me the most.

How long have you been on the meds? I just started but my friend was warning me that its not a straight line to wellness. there will still be bad days every so often for a while - during the first few months. no one told her that and so they really set her back but if you know and are prepared maybe the "bad" days wont be so bad.

If you've been on for a longer time maybe think about talking to your doc about a different med.
