Anxiety Attacks All Day Everyday? Posted: 06-07-05 18:39pm
Well heres the thing, bout 3 months ago I
freaked out. I totally freaked and my
mind went wack. I can pinpoint the exact
morning it happened. I woke up like
normal but had a bad dream and was so
scraed from the dream like I was out of
it. I was nervous for about an hour after
that when I woke up. Well since then its
just gotten worse and now im at a breaking
point. Does anxiety pleateu where it will
be really bad for a few months then cease
off? Because since march it has gotten
worse and everyday is a struggle. My mind
struggles with reality and the perception
of one example would be why I am here and
sometimes dont know why im here or what im
doing. I used to be soo happy now those
days are just a vague memory. I went to a
psychologist who said I was depressed, but
I think its more to it than that. Zoloft
doesnt help me I beleive its something I
must do on my own. I have real problems
percievng how I live, time life, and
death. I am always thinking about dieing
and it feels like my mind is racing and
cannot stay constant so therfore I can
hardly concentrate. My relationship is
suffering my girl is fed up with my
outbursts is this anxiety attacks or
something more? Thanks

Thanks for the reply I do appreciate it
and your understanding. Thats true im 22
right now and am at a weird point in life,
im questioning eveything like why am I
here where did we come from where did the
earth come from whats gonna happen when I
die, I mean everything. I just want to
not think about it and live a normal life,
but its hard to not think about this stuff
and to be honest I cant stop thinking
about it! Its like a snowball effect when
I do I just wanna grab life by the horns
and rip it out of its socket.

cant look at myself in the mirrer or fast
movements in front of my eyes its like my
brain cant perceive it and I think about
getting older and that ive lost so much
all ready that its not goanna come back
like im not goanna be the same anymore and
it scares me soo bad that I have relly bad
anxiety all the time even now as I type
this and it sucks and I dont know what to
do ive been to all the docs and they told
me the same thing anxiety and depression
but it feels like soo much more than that
like something physical as well I ust to
have it all a good job and a girlfreind
and my girlfreind was the same way with me
she got tired of the outburst and couldent
deal with it and I could not even deal
with her cause its like she did not
understand what I was going threw so I
lost her as well and now ive been stuck in
my room for like a year now not doing
hardley anything cause I feel so messed up

worse and worse every day so if this is
something new too you then you need to get
help now before it gets any worse cause
you dont wanna be like me stuck in the
house all the time cause I feel so weird

be fixed I know it sucks now but just
balls it out and do what your doc seys

I remember when I was around 15 or 16, I
was obsessed with the thought of dying for
a long time. It scared the crap out of me
and I used to look at other people
laughing and think.........How can't they
be thinking about it too? I know that
lasted for a long time but I can't
remember how it stopped. I still get a
sinking feeling in my stomach if I think
of eternity and all that but I don't
obsess on it. I think it's a phase some
of us go through and eventually your mind
just says.......Worrying about dying isn't
much of a living. Most people I know get
that scared feeling when they really think
of death but some of use go through that
obsessed thing for awhile for some reason.
It does end though.

I hear what your sayin I talked to my
sister who is 26 said she went through the
same thing when she was 22 or 21. Just
basically think about everything from
eternity why we are here what happens
after death and the act of dying. I try
and tell myself hey when it happens its
gonna happen works sometimes and others I
obsess about it. I think its a natural
process that will pass the more I talk to
people about it. Its just a fact of life
we wanna know why we are here.Just gotta
have faith in destiny I guess.
Another thing about these anxiety attacks
though is that I find myself checking my
pulse quite often to make shure its within
range, also have racing memories, really
hard to stay focused on the here and now.

This is an exact quote from a book I have
by a doctor...."a healthy heart can
tolerate a rate of over two hundred beats
per minute for many hours, even days,
without evidence of damage." when you go
through that phase with death you start
looking for symptoms too. Don't worry
about your heart, I doubt it beats
anywhere near two hundred beats a minute.
Those racing thoughts slow down when you
sort all this stuff out. Your own
mortality is a lot to put on yourself that
first time you really grasp it so it just
takes time.

I Suffer From Anxiety Attacks Posted: 06-12-05 16:09pm
Hey girls i'm new here in this forum, but
I can share my story, i'm 22 and I had a
baby when I was 19 and after 6 months I
started suffering from deprresion ans
anxiety attacks that I though I was going
to die out of anything even if it was just
my left arm hurting I thought I was going
to have have a heart attack and oviously
from freaking out my heart rate would go
up to like 180 bpm and plenty of times I
had to be taken to the hospital because I
was sure I was dying, but started on
medication (paxil) and everything went
away until I got pregnant again now and
had to stop taking the med which it was
only 5 mg not really a medication more
like a sugar pill but it was working , now
I started having really bad panick attacks
where i'm avoing been by my self because I
think i'm going to die, so the doctor told
me that I need to get on zoloft a
medication that supposebly is not harfull
for the baby, if you need to talk let me
know , I had a dream when I was like 10
years old that changed my life it made me
scared of everything, and it was the most
stupid dream ever.
