Anxiety

[Cameron12345]

It’s 4:18pm right now and I felt fine watching tv but that anxiety feeling in my chest started coming on real fast and my chest hurt and my back and then my hypochondria kicked in telling me it’s a heart attack so I did some breathing and yogo and I got up and was moving real slow because it makes me calm. Does anyone stop breathing when anxious and it makes it worse. And I got my heating pad for my back and I’m trying to relax I hope I feel better soon. Has anyone else felt like this, I feel so alone

I'm so sorry you are feeling this way. I really hope your feel better soon. I suffer from severe anxiety and get those symptoms plus a bunch more

Thank you for replying! It’s nice to know someone feels the same way. It feels like my anxiety is never going to go away and it just gets worse like I could puke. I don’t know how to stop it, I’m going to ask my therapist to put me on something stronger

I don't know how to either. I'm just getting worse as well. What meds do you already take? I'm extremely terrified to take meds but I need them bad. What do you currently take? I hope talking to your therapist helps!!

I take sertraline or known as Zoloft. It helps but it takes so long to kick in about 1-2 weeks. I’m on 50mg which is like taking sugar pills it doesn’t do anything. So I’m gonna talk to my therapist about raising the mg or switching meds. It’s good for starting off, but I know some people it can make them feel weird. Yeah meds can be scary, I was afraid of taking them but I was more afraid of the constant anxiety and depression I was feeling. I just want to feel okay for once, hope they can put me on something that can relax me because I can’t take it, my mind runs like crazy never taking a break.

Maybe it just takes time to kick in, but definitely talk to your therapist! Good luck! Let me know how you make out with meds, I'm looking to start this month. I know I can't live like this anymore
