Hi mz_rachel,

Welcome to our community. Looking at your profile and posts to other HU communities, I assume you struggle with anxiety and panic disorder. May I suggest that you talk to your doctor about how you are feeling? It maybe that they may need to prescribe or change any medications you are on. Also, possibly ask for a referral to your local mental health services (I don't know the set up in USA), and think about having some talking therapies e.g. CBT (Cognitive behavioural therapy) to help you address unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns. Also, it always worth seeing your GP for a general health check and run tests to check out your heart and lung function, to rule out anything that may be underlying your anxiety. If nothing else, by knowing all is well health-wise, it should put your mind at ease that there is nothing seriously underlying your fears, then you can start to take control over your thoughts and feelings without the fear of dying.

For more information check out our Pinned Posts section and our Crisis support helplines: ht\p://shawmindfoundation.org/supp...

Keep in touch and let us know how you are doing.

Okay, folks please pop by and welcome this new member.

Best wishes,

Anxiety affects people in many ways, sometimes negative feelings need to be approached and controlled we have to learn Anxiety amplifies our own fears and concerns. However in life Anxiety can be a useful tool that can save us from various people or health concerns, Anxiety can and is attached to fight or flight, where you learn how to approach and understand your negative, fearful thoughts.

Consider a Soldier fighting a war, Anxiety can be a negative problem however it can in fact save His life as explained above.

Talk to your Doctor regards your fears and if possible try and explain the reasons you feel the way you do. To understand yourself, you will move along to more positive period in your Life
