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...
When it spikes i feel terrified,and my head can come up with another new worry every second.
When it spikes it is hard to even remember my coping skills.
i have been in the middle of a spike for about 3 hours now.
Really glad it is almost time for my night meds.
How to stop intense anxiety from being 100 on a scale of severity from 1-10?
Can i stop it in it's tracks?
The only thing working for me right now (Fleetingly) is having epsom salts and lavender baths.

Well, not everytime but most of the time. Yesterday, I was supposed to be doing online training for work but instead, I decided to work on my kitchen table.

I have a possible new diagnosis to discuss with my therapist tomorrow. It might be the answer to a question that I have had since I was 19. It's called Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria (RSD).

"ACK!!!!!" about covers ^it^ in my own anxiety attacks.
Anxiety is paralyzing! My meds don't seem to work anymore. Tried a new med & I hate it & want off it immediately! But of course I have to taper.
I share your frustration! And unless someone knows anxiety as we do, they have no clue how we feel. If I knew how to stop it in its tracks, I'd be rich. Otherwise, I have a pile of Grown-up coloring books, and coloring helps me. With burning Lavender incense burning, of course.
Sharing helps me somewhat. I'm so glad I found this group.
Although i wish you guys weren't suffering with this,it is good to not feel so alone.
I am so sorry for this for all of you... it is truly a horrible thing to have to deal with. I am healed... you can be too. I believe it, and pray it for you! HUGS!
So glad to hear you are free from anxiety.
Thank you for your prayers.
