Tried to do stuff today, get out of the house enjoy the day with my family. And couldn't even make it through the store without freaking out. Going on 3hrs of a anxiety attack just wanting it to end. Almost home and all I can think about is just going to sleep so I dont have to deal with anything, but I know ill lay there forever before I actual fall asleep. Someone please make this go away

Hi Amatrick, the key here is that you tried and did succeed in getting out.

You may have felt uncomfortable the whole time however you did put one foot

in front of the other and proceeded forward.

I have a feeling that you may settle down quickly once you are home.

Make sure you have something to eat as well as hydrate. Rather than go to bed

try relaxing and give yourself some quiet "me time". You've had enough stimulation today.

Try not to focus on the negativity of today but the positive in what you accomplished.

We win each time we over ride Anxiety. :) xx

Thank you for making it a positive day, when it felt like a failure.

How long did it take? I have a family and I feel like if it keeps happening and ruining things I might lose them

Like how long does it take before it gets easier?

Amatrick, there is no set time limit where things automatically get easier.

It's all about how much we put into working to achieve that goal. Popping a pill,

seeking therapy will not make it easier until we put our new found learning experiences

into action. Today, tomorrow or years down the road is your decision that the time is right for you. :) xx
