This is my crazy story : 3 months ago my anxiety creeped up on me hard it started when I was young with vertigo and panic attacks then one night it legit felt like I was dying I had to write a death note for my family at 19yrs old I thought I wasn’t having a heart attack but it was just a panic attack (I didn’t know what that was) them for the next 3 weeks after that from the time I woke up till I was asleep I was stuck in a panic attack it felt like I lost touch with reality, couldn’t breathe, super light headed, insane paranoia, and everything else I was depressed and suicidal and lost all hope I thought my life was ruined one night I ended up in the er and they gave me a 0.5mg Xanax and I was still at a 170bpm heart rate and then I slowly got to the right docotor and got put on klonopin and Lexapro and eventually everything changed how ever I don’t like to take pills so I use cbd flower and high cbd low thc concentrates unless I really need klonopin but within 3 months it all went away my purpose in sharing this is that someone reading this is going through what I went through reads this And realizes there’s hope it can be damn tough but never loose hope. Now 3 months later I’m having a panic attack around 1 a month and hardly have to take klonopin and I just use cbd flowers everyday as well as lexapro if anyone has any questions plz let me know I would be happy to help cause those 3 weeks of nonstop panic attacks was hell without my family and friends I would have rather killed my self only people with anxiety and panic disorder know how it feels to be stuck in a panic attack. God bless everyone !

My story plz read and understand there’s hope!
Sorry to hear of your story...
Myself I stay anxious 24/7 ..
It's like I cant even sit at home and watch tv..
I'm constantly rubbing my head and moving in different positions because the feeling of being anxious is stuck in me and wont leave...I'll be going on zoloft soon hoping this will help me feeling less on edge
Plz try and get on a benzo for short term to relief you it will change your life I promise there addicting but for people like us we need them also ask about lexapro that’s my favorite ssri so far
So sorry to ask but what is ssris suppose to do..?? Would it help decrease our physical symptoms and anxious feelings..
I do have benzos..I'm on xanax. 5mg but try not to take it often like once a day..I kno I need to take it twice but I try to fight the feeling all day then at night I would pop a pill for bed...now I'm thinking maybe popping one in noon and another at night ...
Ssri is a fancy anti depressant that doesn’t make you feel like shit and it works very well at a serval serotonin reuptake inhibitors is what I believe it id
Oh ok so definitely worth getting on it..
I always feel like nah I ain't getting on this ssri or whatever but anxiety is winning me over and ssris are like that extra boost to fight back...thanks for explaining ..I like to learn alot from others I feel the more I learn about anxiety the better chance I get at tackling my own anxiety
Yup god bless you and everyone else I’m about to sleep as I’m fighting off anxiety from quitting my shitty nicotine habit for the next 3 days it’s gonna be hell for me
God bless and congratulations on taking steps to eliminate the nicotine....I quit for two years already after 15 years of smoking.. ..I'll let you go now..
🙏👌
You sound like me. I had 4/5 weeks of constant anxiety panic which came from nowhere and I was behind sick many times a day losing weight rapidly
I eventually got prescribed an SSRI (sertraline) and have been increasing my dose gradually up to 100mg
I was given diazepam for “emergencies” and quetiapine for night time and morning use which worked miracles for a week but the anxiety is back despite keeping up with my meds and nothing is helping at the moment. It’s a rough day I hope it ends soon
I didn't see anything about counciling? I had a brother who committed suicide at age 19 so this strikes a nerve with Me. It's been about 40 years since this happened. You are not alone in dealing with anxiety if you need to vent you can come here like you did, where here for you
Hey I did 6 months of counciling prior and I live a very fortunate and easy life nearly my dream so me and my doctors came to the agreement that t wasn’t helping and although talking to my friends here and there helps but that’s about it. I will never commit suicide btw I was just scared shitless
Yes I'm the same dizziness tension so tired of all of this, sore eyes tight neck shoulders the list is endless hate been like this
Do you recommend a website to get good cbd oil or whatever helps naturally
