Anxiety and panic

[TimR816]

My anxiety and panic are becoming relentless ER trip after ER trip and always just ‘in my head’ I get 1 little thought in my head and it just unravels until I’m in the ER thinking I’m dying. I’ve been on Xanax and ssris that haven’t been working so it’s a new pill script everytime I see the Psychiatrist how do you guys deal with it. All the physical things like heavy chest feeling like you can’t breathe and not being able to turn off your mind. Sorry I’m all over the place it’s hard to explain how I feel

I have had similar experiences...that heaviness in my chest, vision slowly fading and then coming back as you lay lifelessly on your bed waiting for it to be over. Meh i don’t know anyway how that it gets better. What i do is, I take 1mg of clonazepam,(its a safe dose) which is little more than usual(0.5) and just try to sleep.

Although this doesn’t work most of times but i am just writing this to let you know that you’re not alone in this.

I hope things get better with time

You know I can't fix my Anxiety either with years of Klonopin 6mg/day Wow!!

The Heavy chest feeling reminds me of 20+ years ago on coke overdosing up to 3 times a week. It feels the same as an elephant on your chest and are Totally paralyzed for 20 minutes every time. It happened to me over 25 times. My friends used leave me to die alone when they saw I couldn't breath at all and begged someone to stay.

I don't know how to talk without Strong wording. I don't know how to do it any other way and people like this but a few complain so what do I do ???

I've been down this road too. To be honest its okay to feel this way but try and shift your focus to something else instead of thinking "something bad is going to happen to me or I'm busy dying" Us as anxiety sufferers constantly go through this process, of feeding our mind with negativity. We have gotten so use to it, that if we have one good day, we tend to question it. Anxiety is the thief of us being present in the moment, because all we do is make up shit scenarios in our head and think ourselves into a bad space or panicky state. However try and do something which will shift your focus, exercise (This is hard, because its a struggle to get ourselves to do it) Watch your favourite series or movie, cook your favourite meal, comfort yourself with a nice fluffy blanket or gown! It works for some silly reason. Read a book which will educate our curious minds, the list goes on. However getting started is a struggle and personally i struggle to be consistent.

Hope this helps I'm on this journey with you too.
