Chronic anxiety

[Kate1962]

Yep. It happens every morning. Wake up in a panic and just feel frozen. On meds but they dont seem to be helping. I know why i am having them and its just taking a toll on my life and health. I just watch the clock. The minutes seem like hours.

You poor thing, you say you know why your having them so maybe get to the bottom of your problems because until you sort that out there's little chance you'll start recovering . once you deal with that then maybe go back to your doctor see if he'll refer you on to talk with someone to learn you how to manage your panic attacks and anxiety believe me it can be done its not for ever your not going mad , I've been there got through it and am much more able to handle this monster of a thing , good luck

Thanks for replying. I moved in with my dad who is 85. I also have an autistic son. This has been a very trying time for me as i am not adjusting well. I also have become agoraphobic. It seems like all my phobias have been heightened. Especially the future of what will happen when my dad passes. I am overwhelmed with the responsibility of having to take care of this house by myself with no support by family. So I worry constantly about the future and feel so unstable right now to even begin to deal with it all.

That's so much to take on by yourself no wonder you feel this way , I'm sure your doing all you can "and doing a great job" of looking after both your father and son. But try not go to hard on yourself try find time for yourself , maybe meditation , a nice long bath listening to some music maybe, sorry I can't be of more help but you ever need to talk I'm here most days take care x
