What do you do when you are feeling panic all the time?

Feeling panic stricken all day and all night

[Hidden]

Have you seen a doctor?

It’s terrible. Felt that way over twenty years and couldn’t leave the house for 2 years. Saw a doctor and started feeling better. Sadly, 3 1/2 years ago, this has returned. Meds no longer work. I’ve read all the books in how to accept and think positively. Not much help.

I hope you feel better. I’ve come to accept it

I obsess over everything which in turn makes my anxiety worse. I'm in a very anxious state even right now

[dreamreel in reply to AfricanLady]

I am too. My main worries include: why am I so dang anxious; why do meds not help; when is my next panic attack; will this end bc I want to have a life again

[AfricanLady in reply to dreamreel]

Same with me, I fear my own thoughts. I took betapam pill yesterday but I feel more anxious than when I don't take it. I have blurry vision which causes more anxiety.

My eye sight is worsening from work. I am in three meds. One has a side effect of anxiety. Nothing works. Yes, I know the feeling about being more anxious after taking a pill that is supposed to help. No one understands why I react this way

[AfricanLady in reply to dreamreel]

People who are not going through the same thing will not understand. I'm afraid to take pills because of the side effects but I know I have to. I can't see a doctor because I'm paranoid that if I do something out of the ordinary something bad will happen. It's really weird how I perceive things.

I have been going to other doctors because I want something to be wrong with me, so I can be treated for it. I just don’t understand.

[AfricanLady in reply to dreamreel]

I haven't been going to doctors but I read about hyperthyroidism & panic but was happy that it is treatable so I have been constantly checking myself for symptoms. Yesterday was a very bad day, as I had finished preparing to sleep I had an intrusive thought of being possessed & hurting my daughter. I didn't sleep at all.

I have been like this for over 2 years until I went back on my medication. It truly is a struggle, it's like your trying to get away from what's in your head 24/7, it takes over your entire life. I just tried my best to keep my mind off my thoughts and even that was hard. Best of luck with your thoughts. I know it's pure hell to live with.
