Last few days I feel heart racing through the day. It is very unpleasent. I awaken sometimes at night in panic, with hart racing too fast. I am trying to observe this neutrally, and trying not to make story out of it. I sometimes succeed, and sometimes I get caught in negative thinking. The hardest for me now is to accept that this state is now my reality, without blaming myself for it. I didn't have severe anxiety for years, I thought I learned how to cope with it, and that is one more reason why it is so hard to accept this.

Thank you for being here & best of luck riding the waves of anxiety 🏄🏽♂️
Hi Vjeko
I do feel for you, you must feel down at the moment.
I was diagnosed with GAD 20 months ago and do not feel I have to live with it. I feel I can get over and live a more enriched life even before I was ill. I am more or less there 21 months on
It has been essential to take Venlafaxine, I could not do it without. Masking symptoms is fantastic if that is all it does but for me it has done alot more than that.
Very best wishes for a full recovery for you too.

Hi Kim
That is so nice to hear that you are getting over it. Thank you for good wishes and wish you all the best too.
I had my very anxious phase 15 years ago, and it lasted for few years. And i got over it with meds and years lasting psyhoterapy. I guess I allways had mild social anxiety, before and after. In my experience it is most important, besides medicaments that i take, to be concetrated, and not to blame myself. It is hard because I somehow always tend to blame myself for things. And now it is "how could i let this happen to me again" after years of work. But that is hiw it is. Hope it will get better.
Thank you and wish you full recovery!

I know how you feel. I’ve been waking up without much sleep for awhile now. A racing heart and worrisome thoughts is something I experience every morning.
I don’t have any advice. I just wanted you to know you are not alone.
Sorry I can’t be much help.
