New Here

Hi all,

New to this and completely new to the levels of panic and anxiety that i am now dealing with. I have always been "a worrier" , however this has taken a nasty turn over the past few weeks and now im anxious all the time. It is affecting my sleep, my work, everything, its exhausting and debilitating. Can you guys help?

It sounds like Generalized Anxiety Disorder but I'm not an expert so I wouldn't take my word for it. You need to see a psychologist if things have reached this level.

Talking here is a great start. Also... I believe... moving on it and getting help sooner than later is a good thing. In my situation my anxiety began to beget more anxiety. Mean I became affair of where and when the next attach was going to hit. Really wish I could have know better and address the real issues sooner... i.e. The right meds and build support and awareness.

I'm in the same place you are at the beginning and starting to seek help.

I can totally relate to what you are going through, except I have NEVER been a worrier in the past. I have had a panic attack now and then and bouts of depression, but nothing like it has been lately, almost 24 /7. I agree it is exhausting, I suggest a counselor, which seams to be helping me figure out whats going on. You are not alone !
