falling back into it

[kmahho26]

i woke up with anxiety on monday morning for the first time in a while. i managed to get past it and thought everything was ok. until yesterday afternoon, i was at work and doing fine then suddenly was overwhelmed with anxiety and feeling sick. it feels like im going backwards with all the good progress i was making in my life this year and im scared of going back to how i was about a year ago. i was almost completely consumed by anxiety and couldn’t leave the house, could barely eat or do anything. the worst part is i feel like it won’t go away because i don’t have someone specific with me. has anyone ever felt like they might die without a person but you can’t have them? that’s the fear that keeps coming back for me and i feel so alone dealing with it. i also know thinking about being alone makes the anxiety come back, i work in a place where im often the only one there so i feel very isolated. idk how else to explain this but tldr: i was doing just fine and now i have crippling anxiety again and feel so lonely it makes me feel sick

Yes I can relate to you.It's like you become ur own therapist. "Everything is okay...it will pass...take deep breaths...open the window...or no close the window because u need to hide this anxious panicky face from everyone else at workplace....drink some water...listen to some music"

That's how I deal with those episodes.

I m a medical professional myself so I can't even seek a psychologist or therapist. Because it may disturb my professional reputation.
