Hi everyone,
I’m new to site and I’m looking to have conversations with people who may feel the same as me.
I’ve had anxiety pretty much my whole life but have been able to manage it pretty well for the most part. About 5 years ago i did something i highly regretted immediately afterwards and ever since then my anxiety has been pretty bad. I’ll go a good length of time feeling “normal” but then out the blue I’ll feel anxious or have an attack and it’s like that feeling is much easier to replicate and stays with me for weeks. Almost a week ago i had a night out alone and was drinking and when i woke up in the morning i was just very anxious. I searched on and people actually call it hangxiety. Well since that initial feeling of panic attacks throughout the whole day and not eating etc... I’ve had many moments of anxiety and panic. The attacks haven’t lasted that long this go around for whatever reason as i try not to engage in those thoughts and it helps but i still feel a sharp cold kind of pain near my heart, which makes it hard to focus on anything else thus making me anxious. I’m considering taking Xanax as i have some left over from years prior if they would even work anymore. I have a lot left over from last time as I’m scared to take them. ( I used to be addicted to pain killers). It’s been 12 years since taking any pain meds. I prefer not to take anything but think it might help and keep it around as a backup. Also thinking about CBD, any suggestions? That’s a quick run down of things that have happened in my life and I’d like to get feedback from other people who may suffer from the same thing i do and what you might do to manage it. I’m also here to give my own feedback as well. Thanks in advance.
FYI I’m a 36 year old male, father of 2 divorced but now have a girlfriend of 3 years
