Having a really hard time.

[Sara_C]

I haven’t been on here in a while, but I need some advice/ help. I have had anxiety/ panic attacks for almost 3 years now. This last week has been awful. I wound up, yet again, in the hospital 2 nights ago absolutely sure I was dying. Of course again my ekg and blood tests came back normal and they gave me some Ativan and sent me on my way. But tonight it’s back and I am feeling like I am dying. I am so depressed because of all of this and it’s making life miserable. I feel like a burden to my bf, he has never expressed any feelings that I am, but I know it has to be hard to live with me and these symptoms. I just can’t shake these feeling that I am dying!! I used to be on lexapro but I am in between jobs and don’t start my new job for a month so I can’t afford medication. I just need anyone with any advice or to just tell me it’s my anxiety and I am not dying. Thankful for any tips! Sorry if this post is all over the place.

Thank you,

Sara

It’s absolutely horrible!! I just sit on the floor or couch shaking and crying. It’s impossible to shake the feeling, I feel like I am just going to drop dead. I just hate these feelings, it makes me feel so incredibly sad all the time. It’s hard to enjoy things. Ugh I just wish it would go away. I am sorry you are feeling the same, I am just glad this website exists so we can help each other out.

I totally understand how you feel. I’m dealing with the same thing recently.

I just can’t shake the fear. I truly wish I could give you some helpful advice but just know that you’re not alone and I’m here if you ever need to vent or anything.

I know the feeling of feeling like ur gonna die, but remember it’s just anxiety tricking you! And you didn’t die at the hospital when u felt that way. Keep ur head up remember this too shall pass

Sara you know reading your post really just made me think there's more to all this weird thinking we all are having I mean about dying and not eating not sleeping and so on I really hope some day we all find the real reason for this but trust me and I mean it when I say you are not alone I just think it's something outside all of us that's going on and reading your I can almost guarantee you just fine I guess all of us will just have to do the best we can until we really understand

I know how you feel because I was in a same place. Went to hospital 20 days straight! Every single day. Sometimes twice or three time a day. They would always reffer me to the psychiatris because everything came back normal. So if you did a medical check up, you have to believe the doctros if they say you’re fine. You have no other choice. I know that you must feel so much doubt right now, as I have felt that way too, but one day you will just say screw it and start learning how you can help yourself instead. If you can, go to the therapist and start medication again when you start your job. I feel like my bf is so fed up with me but everytime I feel that way I talk to him and tell him exactly how I feel and why and explain to him that he doesn’t do anything wrong, but right now I am not in a good place and my mind is playing tricks on me. It’s not his fault but I ask him to understand me.

I wish you all the best

Wow. 20 days straight at the hospital! I admire your tenacity - that's a lot of waiting around. 🌷⚘🌻💐

I know exactly what you are going through. I've definitely gone back and forth to emergency rooms and clinics for the same reason. You are not alone. I would like to share my broadcast endeavor with you.

I wish us the best😊

Hi Icanbeathis,Not sure if you'll see my reply since it's been awhile but I wanted to tell you I liked your broadcast. I really get a sense of what you go through day-to-day

Sara There is absolutely nothing that anyone can say that will stop you from having a panic attack. You and you alone have all the power to do whatever you need to become a strong woman who doesn’t need to allow her anxieties to control her. It will be a slow and steady pace, but it is one that can be done. It has taken me years, but with ever positive I became stronger and in more control of my anxieties. I want to encourage you to find a therapist if you don’t already have one and if you like to read, I have a couple books that you might find very helpful. If interested message me. Look at yourself and tell yourself you are a strong, smart, beautiful women every morning and as often as you need. I will keep you in my thoughts. Beautyoutofashes54

Hi Sara!!! Please know that it takes time to heal. It’s so important to understand what is going on and how anxiety “ gets you “. Are you seeing a therapist??? I have started to meditate each morning . It is difficult but practice is important. You can calm your mind with this. Do you exercise??? Sooo important! Even taking long walks each day. Be nice to yourself! You are worth it!
