Well i finally fell asleep about 3 something this morning due to this so called anxiety bullshit. Im to the point where i really think ive lost my mind. I was hoping and praying I would feel normal again this morning but I woke up feeling the same way... Everythings wrong with me in my head theres nothing I dont already have and the world is ending... All i can do is cry im so lost. Just want these thoughts and feeling to just get out of my head im losing all control. Anyone else going through this. I get my baby boy today he is 1 yeras old and instead of being excited like j normally am Im stressed about him coming and me being in this state of mind... I would never put him on harms way ever but I just dont feel like I would be showing him the love he needs while im having my anxiety i wish it would just away...

I feel the same way ... I will go to bed feeling miserable, and hope that waking up the next morning will make things better, and it doesn't. I've been to the ER twice and my doctor multiple times because of this, have gotten X-rays, CAT scans, bloodwork and EKG's; all coming back normal. As everyone says, you'll be ok, and this too shall pass. The more you think about it, the worse it gets ... But I know how hard it is to stop feeding into the pain and to move on with your day. I do find though, when I'm not worrying about how I'm feeling, I actually enjoy what I am doing. Having your son around can be a good thing, keep your mind off of this horrible feeling you're going through. I'm going to see a therapist. I thought I was strong enough to over come it on my own, and I thought once I knew my health was ok I would be fine ... Unfortunately for me that wasn't the case. Now I am fixated on the anxiety itself. I too, wish it would just go away. It stinks it's not that easy.

All your baby sees now is love and happiness that I am sure you are giving even though a storm is raging underneath. Now is the time to start to get yourself well before he is old enough to pick up on your unease.

Unfortunately, if it isn't being managed, anxiety is a way of life, not just an episode that goes away after a night's sleep. I feel like its always hiding there even during the "normal" times. Have to remind myself to sit up straight, unclench my jaw, breathe out, etc... I was at the point where I wasn't recovering physically from my attacks and then I knew it was time for serious help, I couldn't do it on my own anymore and I have a boy a year and a half old. He is going to need his mommy happy and healthy.

Have you thought about counselling or a medication to take while you are working on coping skills? A clean bill of health and advice on controlling your thoughts from a professional will go a long way in your journey with this beast on your back. Until you can get help try to focus on breathing out for 10, in for 4, hold if you can, repeat while focusing on your diaphram. Many symptoms come from the shallow fast breathing we tend to do. And focusing on the breathing takes our mind off other things.

If it hits you with your son, breathe out long and slow and do your best to stay active. Keep moving, stay busy, you will make it.

Ive had it when anxiety keeps me up until 6. I have a huge fear of being sick and every time I eat, I feel like it sits in my stomach and will make me sick.

I feel just gross all day. Ive had blood work and considering how often my symptoms change, my mom doesn't think its necessary to take me down again.

I didnt worry about it yesterday and I felt so good in comparison to earlier. I was shocked.

I was in panic mode for three days straight. It. Was. Awful. Id be lying in bed, unable to sleep, feeling like I was falling down a dark hole. I constantly think I am losing it or have a disease that will make me sick because everyone I've read about gets kegs and Maris and Ct scans and I've had none of that. My heart feels fine. I've never even worried about it because when I had panic attacks, I focused more on my stomach and such.

I just feel icky a lot. Down. I think that's the stress because I didn't feel it like this be for those three days of panic.
