Hello

Sorry you are feeling so bad

Not sure how long you have been suffering with your anxiety or how long you have been taking the meds as if you have not been taking them for very long they can take a while to work

Have you spoken with your Doctor about having any therapy , there are so many kinds of different therapies now that if your Doctor talks you through them what they can refer you for you can choose what you feel may best help you and it can benefit and help you control your anxiety

Things do and will get better again I do not know how long you have been suffering but this can take time not always a quick fix but keep coming and talking to others that have or are going through this as knowing you are not alone helps even if in a small way

Take Care x

Hi kylie, the first thing you have to do is "get out of bed", energy or not.

Lying there for 4 days isn't making it any better. Just moving around within the house may help. It's not good for the muscles to lie dormant for a long period of time. You need to have your mind get out of repetitive thoughts of dying and cancer. You are not nuts, try (as hard as it may be) to tune out your family's comments on what you are feeling. Your life may be on a brief pause but has not stopped. Keep in mind upcoming weekends and once again hanging out with your boyfriend. Make that a positive thought to strive for. Wishing you well soon....

thank you for your reply, i cant snap out of iti feel like i cant get out if it i have nowhere to go. im scared now i have stomach cancer because i keep getting a butning pain in my upper abdomen. everything is taking over. i keep reading stories of young people dying of stomach cancer and think thats gunna be me. iv lost weight , i dont want to eat i dont k ow what to do . i try and put on a brave face because everyone says they dont want to hear it anymore and have to go uostairs and cry alone. i truly think i have cancer and will die soon

Dearest Kylie: I'm sorry if my post sounded harsh. I know and understand you cannot just snap out of it. I just hate seeing you lying in bed. You need to see a doctor so that you can get out of this hole of depression. You say you have lost weight but you also don't want to eat. You shouldn't have to put on a brave face because others around you don't want to hear it. You first need a medical doctor and then possibly a therapist who can help you through this. Believe me I understand. I cry and shake every morning thinking I have cancer throughout my body. Nobody listens anymore and so I suffer like you, in silence. I have no where to go either because I'm agoraphobic and afraid to go out.

I don't want you to become me. I want to help you not hurt you.

I feel bad that you may have thought I was casually telling you to

just flick it off. I want to hear that you get the help you need so that you can have a good life. No young person should have to go through this fear alone. I am truly sorry you suffer in this way.

Please let me know if there is anything I can do to support you

through this. My heart goes out to you. xx

Hi kylie, thinking of you and wondering how you are today. You must have been pushed to the limits by having had an ambulance come out to you. I know how we can only handle so much and then we need to call for help. I wish for you a better day. xx

[kylie1986 in reply to Agora1]

hi, thank you, im still not great. was so bad this weekend. i seem to be terrified of everything, every ache , every pain sends me into a panic and freak out and scream. i feel so aorry for my loved ones. how do you cope? im

so scared the doctors will tell me i only have so long left to live. i keep getting a burning pain in my tummy . i hope you are ok? im sorry my messages must make you feel worse. x

[Agora1 in reply to kylie1986]

Dearest kylie, don't worry about your messages making me feel worse. I am in the same position as you so I totally understand. If anything it breaks my heart to know how you suffer. I cope by

trying to reach out on this forum to support others who suffer with intense

panic everyday. I do a lot of relaxation techniques and most of all, I cry a lot.

Keeping you in my thoughts....x

Perhaps your meds need to be increased slightly?
