When will I feel normal again

[Mzjennyjen]

I feel as though I don't know who I am..I have really bad panic attacks..sometimes I feel like im going crazy. Can't talk to my family about it. I started seeing a psychologist. I'm constantly in a state of fear..I've quit my job because of this..I always feel sick...when will this end...I wanna be Jennifer again.

Hi Mzjennyjen, unfortunately it happens to all of us when going through severe anxiety. The panic attacks can be fierce making us feel as though we are going crazy. I've been were you are. The fear was unbelievable, quit my job too feeling too sick to work. Looking back I believe these were mistakes I made in giving into anxiety. Staying at home and having the day to think about myself made it ten times worse. I became Agoraphobic. I'm glad you started seeing a psychologist. With determination and some self work, you will get Jennifer back again. Good Luck

Thanks for the encouraging words..I'm about to start a new job, praying that I keep it together. I have to provide for my family.

hi mzjennyjen, I feel the same way. Seems like it's getting worst everyday. I quit my job as well and I'm not returning to college this semester because of this. It sucks I feel like I'm letting this anxiety thing get to me and take over my life . You're not alone. gotta be strong,

Hi Mzemma01, how long have you suffer from anxiety? For me it's been on and off for five years. I just found out a couple of years ago what it was.for 3 years I suffer in silence... afraid of being judged... some days are worse than others. I'm going to start a new Job in a few weeks...Im hoping this time I can keep it under control....my family don't understand. They think anxiety and depression isn't real..like its something people made up. My mother has called me weak and sad. She said she doesn't know where I got it from...MEANING, it didn't come from her side of the family..I know ignorant, RIGHT!!
