hello all, i have a mental illness
described as an organic phsychosis, i
recently trialed some new meds that gave
me anxiety attacks i went off the meds but
the attacks remain, i cant sleep in my own
apartment anymore and am in fear of my
apartment, even when i think about it i
begin to get chills and the beginings of
anxiety, i am moving into my folks place
and hope to soon start a therapy class in
the outside world which is for getting the
mentally ill back into the workforce, can
anyone tell me ways to lessen the anxiety
? am i doing the right thing giving up my
independence untill i can access external
help, valium and lorazepam dont seem to do
very much at all, regards lumpy

Do what you have to! If it helps moving
in with family, do it! You are trying and
that is a positive thing. I wish I had
some advice about the anxiety. I have
tried numerous things and none have
helped. I am suffering from generalized
anxiety disorder 24/7. I am so sorry for
what you are going through - it is a
miserable feeling. I was always
physically/mentally healthy until
approximately 3 years ago. I am now 46
and experiencing the most miserable
feelings of my life. My husband and
daughter are very supportive, but we have
no idea what to do next. I have seen
several doctors, nothing has helped. I
quit my job in November, after 14 years of
employment, and do not drive now. As I
said, my husband and daughter are very
supportive and take me to my doctor
appointments. I fear I will never be well
again, and my number one concern is what
this is doing to my family. I am sorry
this is not an uplifting post and that is
what you need right now. Everyone is
different, and I am sure you will get the
help you need and become the person you
once were. My intent was just to let you
know that I understand, and know exactly
how you feel.
