Hello everyone,
My name is Harry (roadrunner"h") and I have been dealing with anxiety my whole life. My anxiety usually revolves around having a fear of a heart attack. When I get all anxious, I start feeling my pulse, wondering if I am having a heart attack, wonder if I am breathing enough, etc.
It's kind of embarassing to admit it here, but I hope to get some support here and offer some when I can. I don't always feel anxious. Since around 2000 I have been taking Zoloft 100mg daily and Ativan 0.5mg as needed. I only take the Ativan maybe once a week if that. I am fearful about becoming addicted, lol. The Zoloft helps, but I still struggle at times.
I have a full time job, hobbies like classic cars, playing the drums, and working with my hands. I try not to let the anxiety control me, but at times it's a tough road. I wish I could be care-free, and not worry so much so often. Anyways, enough about me, I look forward to meeting some of you. Thanks!
Harry
