Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread.

Hi all,
I noticed a lot of posts about these vicious thoughts that wreck havoc on our daily lives and wanted to share my experience. Currently I am in the process of taking one step forward and two steps back. I have this issue where my senses are hyperfocused on my breathing and fear of not being able to keep breathing. It causes panic and a war within my mind. My physical symptoms are no longer there but it's the thoughts that keep me in constant fear and depression. I don't feel "safe' due to this constant worry and anxious thought pattern. I am sure most of you can relate with this. I am taking 150 mg of Zoloft which I am hoping kicks in to fight these awful intrustive thoughts. It's such an odd feeling to explain to someone so when I am asked "what's wrong?" I am just at a loss for words. I wish I could just let the chips fall where they may or let a higher power be in control but my brain refuses to accept I am safe. I wish you all the best and I know we can beat this.

You just have to outlast the monster, and do what you can to rest, and be peaceful and laid back whenever you can. :)
miserable. Depressing, and tiring.
