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.

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.
