So about a year ago I got sick with the flu..I went to the Er for a fever and a pretty severe headaches. Somehow being sick and the events afterwards triggered something in me that changed my life entirely. Since then I've had loads of panic attacks, several Er visits, and countless sleepless nights. I somehow developed a sleep phobia. It's been an up hill battle. I've always been an anxious person and have suffered from depression most my life. I used to get over it and move on. However, since after I got sick my anxiety has gone from "mostly normally" to being every day. Some days it's debilitating and I wonder if I'm going to make it. I worrying I'm going to either die from the stress, lack of sleep, or go insane.... Other times I go days or weeks feeling like I'm slowly healing....that it's getting better..the anxiety is still there but I don't feel controlled by it and can see progress. I can enjoy life...I'm just frustrated because not only does living with anxiety feel terrible...but just when I'm starting to think I can beat anxieties butt it comes back full swing...and no matter what I try to try amd clam down sometimes I have to wait until it decides to pass. It has been a several bad days...and waa struggling and I wanted to hear if others deal with the same
