Crazy anxiety

[Bella_Ray]

Does anyone ever feel weird out of no where. Example- while driving today I felt funny heart started to race I thought I was about to die. Thinking about getting CBD oil

[dom410]

Hi. I feel like that often. I think for me my mind starts to make it worse then I end up with a panic attack. Many times I just let it ride and I think did I have sugar, caffeine or is it my chest muscles twitching and it makes it feel like my heart.

[Bella_Ray in reply to dom410]

I start to think about something. If I’m taking to someone it goes away pretty quickly

[dom410 in reply to Bella_Ray]

I did learn that if you take an SSRI like I do CBD can be bad

[Bella_Ray in reply to dom410]

They put me on Lexapro. I haven’t started it yet

[dom410 in reply to Bella_Ray]

I'm going to ask my Dr to put me on something else. I've been on Paxil 30mg for about 15 years and lately I have had alot more panic attacks. I'm not sure if weight gain effects it or it's just not working anymore. Plus it has a nasty side effect on men that is bad! Lol

My Paxil stopped working a couple of years ago. I was on it for about 25 years and it gave me an even playing field. Trying to find another has been a nightmare.

For dom410 also: I also was on Paxil for many years and it didn't quite fit my needs at the time. What changed the landscape was my doc adding Klonopin. The combination worked wonders for me. I no longer take Paxil now but if I ever need it I wouldn't hesitate to take it again. I still have Klonopin but it's more a crutch than anything else.

Today while driving anxiety affected my vision I felt like I had to close my eyes. I almost pulled over but it passed. Anxiety can do the strangest things.

This is something new for me, the last 3 times I’ve got in the car without my husband I’ve started to get chest pains and pain in my left shoulder and feel sick to my stomach. But I feel better as soon as I get home, I think it’s because I am being investigated for heart things and I subconsciously start to worry what happens if I faint in the car with my kids or while waiting at school pick up etc it’s ridiculous. I’ve never experienced such awful anxiety in all my life.

I want to try CBD oil as well but it’s not exactly legal in Australia. You can get it but you have to be prescribed it and there’s soooo many loop holes you have to go though and it’s very expensive 😡 we are so behind in this country.

Hi Amz, Why do you think you feel better as soon as you get home? That's right, because

you feel safe in your comfort zone. CBD oil or any other drug is not a magic cure but just

something tangible to reach for that makes you think it will help you. You see Amz, there is

no magic wand or magic pill. The key is in our own thoughts. The minute we start allowing

the "what ifs" and fears to develop when we leave our home, we're doomed. Those mental

thoughts become physical in a short time and anxiety is high until we are back in our safe haven. It's a proven fact that what we think is what we get. If we think positively and truly

believe we are capable of getting from point A to point B, it will happen. I use to think I needed someone in that passenger seat until I realized that breathing my way through

a tense moment could reduce my anxiety and open up a window of success no matter where

I wanted to go.

Of course, it was done in small steps (after 5 years of Agoraphobia) in practicing Meditation, Deep Breathing and Affirmations, I got control back of my life. An unbelievable

feeling of success. It can be done by anyone willing to work on themselves and what their

mind responds to and then it's about practice, practice and more practice. After a while, it becomes an automatic response in how you handle stressful situations by accepting how you react to them. xx

I agree, I just want some sort of relief in the really intense moments. If I didn’t have insomnia I’d be able to manage so much better. But I don’t want to take sleeping tablets. I’ve tried herbal things and all the other techniques, nothing works. This has been going on 10 years since it started with my 1st pregnancy I think it might be hormonal I don’t know. I’m going to see a psychologist very soon I have referral.

[Agora1 in reply to Amz1987]

Amz, I'm glad you will be seeing a psychologist. There are so many ways that

anxiety can be handled. We all react differently to medications as well as

other techniques. One thing that's for sure is that talk therapy can be very

beneficial in getting down to the root of our fears and give us a different

path to take in allowing us to go forward. Good Luck with your upcoming

appointment. I wish you well. xx

Just out of nowhere I’ll have these feeling. It’s crazy what our bodies will do. Mine will come if I’m in the bed or whatever
