Anxiety sucks

I have anxiety and panic attacks out of nowhere. Literally not thinking about anything bad and they happen. I pretend nothing is going on but I feel like I’m dying inside. Especially at work because I don’t want anyone to know. My husband doesn’t really understand but he tries. I haven’t been home to see my family in over a year. The meds help but they make me feel funny and I don’t like it. I’m at a lost. I have no idea what to do.

Sporadic anxiety/panic attacks are the worst.

I’m sorry for your pain & suffering.

And I’m glad you’re here.

I know, anxiety and panic attacks really suck. I have them as well. Somebody here introduced me to deep breathing, so now I do that when I feel a panic attack starting.

I’ll try that next time. Hopefully it would help. Thank you

Hi Jacoalzy03. I know how you feel, I’m going through the same thing. What’s helping me is keeping a schedule, exercise, along with breathing techniques and meditation. There’s an app ( several apps actually ) that has helped me “thought diary.” Have you talked to a therapist? Also, there are books on amazon that claim to help with this. Looking forward to the reading.

Anxiety/Panic Disorders are terribly horrible. I don't understand myself, how could anyone else understand when they haven't walked in my shoes.

Go for talk therapy from a specialist

I think I will try therapy. Kinda nervous about it but I think it may help. Thanks

Being nervous about therapy is perfectly normal. Once a relationship is established it will become easier and even a welcome process.

I would recommend seeing a therapist and giving CBT a try - it has worked wonders for me.
