My struggle has increased!

I am sorry for the lack of posts and quotes over the past few days but I took my wife out the past couple of days and I think due to this overwork on my brain and emotions that my symptoms have gotten worse. I have had a massive increase in panic attacks, headaches, and I have experienced my worse cause of derealization yet where I can't seem to bounce back into reality and I can't seem to remember anything from the previous day.... The dreams are more severe and I have trouble sleeping where every little noise while I am sleeping causes me to wake up and panic. Then when I do finally wake up I have a panic attack and it takes me awhile to realize that I am no longer in the dream. Due to me not sleeping well and having this increased anxiety I struggle through the day and have lost all energy.... I feel so hopeless at this point and feel as if I will never get better. I really need someone to talk to who can relate to this feeling otherwise I am afraid that I might slowly slip away into madness.

Hi. I’ve posted lots of information about recovering from anxiety and all related symptoms on this forum which you may find helpful.

What you are experiencing is perfectly normal under the circumstances. You are not losing it. It’s just anxiety making you think and feel that way. It is also important to understand that the more you struggle to rid yourself of the symptoms, the longer they hang around. Doing nothing about the symptoms and allowing them to be there eventually takes the wind out of their sails and peace of mind and body eventually returns.

I suffered for along time until I read books about acceptance. Like anything in life, it is our resistance to things that cause turmoil and the same goes for the symptoms of anxiety.
