Is anyone else's anxiety off the charts?

After having what was mostly a good week and a half, today I had a really bad panic attack. It happened at lunchtime. I took a late lunch and went out to the market to get some food. I spoke to my fiance on the phone on the way and then walked to the market from the parking lot. I began to experience some height anxiety. I call it that because I start to think of fear of heights or insecure thoughts. Funny how fear of heights and not even being near any heights can give you fears. So, anyway, I went into the market. I really should have not even gone in but should have gone into a smaller store. I was really panicky. I finally bought 2 bananas and a yogurt and left. I called my fiance on the way back, but was still panicky. I made it up stairs to work and went for a valium. It did help calm me down, but I still do not feel right. It could be because I took the valium at around 2:15 and it's still making me tired. I did not go into my part-time job tonight for fear that I might have an attack there. I am getting married in less than 3 weeks and I hate that I have all this fear and anxiety now. I hate how you experience a week or so with no major panic and then BAM!... it hits me hard. Part of my panic is due to fear of dying, but that's a story all in itself. The attack was not full blown as I did not feel any of the symptoms that it had any lasting effects. Anyone know what I mean? I am sure someone does. :( OK, I just wanted to share this. I hope everyone else is doing better. I needed to vent a little. I cried a bit tonight. My fiance dragged it out of me. She had her moments of sadness last night and I was able to release some of her anxiety. David

Valium actually helps me a lot, but I also do not want to depend on it too much. I have taken at least 1 a day all week. I just have these racing thoughts sometimes like I am going to go crazy. It's been a problem for years and I have been to a therapist since the mid-90s, but have not seen her for several weeks now because I have moved to my fiance's town and the therapist lives further away. I thought I had the whole day finished with just one valium, but then toward the end of the day I had a rush of anxiety that led to near panic and I had to take another 5 mg pill. Of course, I left nearly half an hour later and was fine. Go figure. I cried a tiny bit tonight and it helped a bit. Maybe I will cry more later. Crying can get your stress out a bit. David

hey, i am so sorry to hear you have had such a hard week. I remember being in a really stressful job for a while and feeling liek i would be abotu to melt down when things would pile up. I just tried to focus on things outside of work that make me feel calmer, liek friends and family, and i tried to realize that work is not the most important thing in life, and that i will be fine no matter what. meds are sort of tricky huh? I do xanex now, i try not to take it uless thigns get really bad, just cause i dont want to depend on it to much, it does make me a little sleepy also. I have heard that some drug called adavan (sp?) is good and doesnt cause the sleepy feeling. so that is one lead... :) anyways, i hope you are doign better tongith and that the tea helped, the weekend is just aroudn the corner now! hang in there.

Thanks for all the thoughts and advice. I started off OK today. I brought my radio in to work to listen to and then I was OK, not great, but OK, until I ventured into the kitchen at work and got really talkative. I notice when I get talkative I start to hyperventilate. Then a rush of anxiety hit me and I rushed to my desk to take my first valium of the day. I then was mainly Ok until about 4:20. There was a lot of stuff going on in my office and I went to the bathroom and sort of freaked in there and rushed to take another valium. It was about 6 hours in between doses, so it probably wore of by then. My new job is rather stressful and I am starting to think it may be too stressful. But then there are days with no anxiety when I can handle anything they give to me there. I also have been having a lot of thoughts of death lately. Not wishing to die, but being scared of it. Add OCD to that and it becomes really hard to deal with. I am home now and with my fiance. I bought some sleepytime tea to use before bed. That usually helps. It's weird. We went to Tampa to see Jerry Seinfeld. I had no anxiety driving there or back, but in the venue I felt trapped at times and that's where my anxiety started and then it really started to get bad at work on Monday. I am not having a very good week. But the main thing is I am home right now and going to work out and rest. One more day and then the weekend is here and I can try and regroup. Thanks for listening everyone. I will write more soon. You've all been so great to me and I hope I have helped you all too. I'll let you know how my Friday went tomorrow. David (Wrestler)

Hi David sorry to hear your not feeling so good but take heart these feelings do pass eventually you know this from your experiences you have good days im sure, even though these feelings in the moment feel absolutely horrible they do pass and i think we have to accept that we suffer from anxiety and panics and not try and fight it off but rather go with the feelings and when you start having these thoughts and feelings ask yourself are you overdoing it in the stress department i know when im stressed it makes my anxiety worse which in return im more likely to panic.I know you will get through this you have to think about all the things that are going on like Christmas and the New Year and your getting married soon those things all put together would be stressful for anybody let alone someone with anxiety and panic like ourselves.You will be ok. I have been doing really well lately quite scary actually how well ive been coping i sort of wait for the big panics to come back, though i still have panics and moments of high anxiety i have got through them fairly well and as you say this time of year is quite stressful for anyone.Just remember it wont last forever. Have you been working out and doing yoga still? Just make sure you make time for you to relax and unwind and try to take your thinking to a happier place.I hope you feel better soon. Please take care. Lulu.. :) :)

Hi David, sorry to hear that you are in a rough spot right now. I totally understand that when you start experiencing relief and good days the bad times can seem that much worse. I have taken xanax which has just made me feel really sleepy. Medication has it's place but it's good to have the skills you need to deal with the panic. I am still figuring that part out! I have found that I can build my confidence with remebering the past. You have felt panic at work before and you have come through it. Remember at those moments that you have lived through it before. :) Hope you have some better days ahead real soon! Take care :)

I had a really good week last week. Then over the weekend I felt myself slipping a little. Some slight anxieties and grumpiness. But then I go to work Monday and I was in the bathroom and suddenly I had all these wild thoughts and feelings of anxiety come at me at once. They are hard to stop. So I had to go take a half a valium and then another half. I believe I took 1 1/2 that day. a whole one Tuesday and a whole one today. I took them to prevent a panic attack. It work, but valium also makes me tired and clumsy. I hate it when you think you're doing so well and then you fall again. I know this is the season for depression and anxiety, but come on. There has to be a release. I must add that most of my anxiety happens at my new job. But then again, it happened at my old job too. I work in an office near Interstate 4 in Orlando, Florida. I may need to take a good look at what I am taking and try something new. Does anyone have any suggestions. Not just med suggestions either. Thanks for listening, David (Wrestler)
