For about two months now I have been having severe anxiety, and over the last week, it has progressed into extreme panic attacks. It started because my husband began working third shifts, leaving me home alone with my 4 yr old all night long, but over the last week, I have a really irrational fear in my mind. What if I burst into flames?
I know... it's off the wall and sounds silly... but it is ALWAYS on my mind now.
I'm on lexapro (as of 3 days ago) but... I'm so scared. I was sitting down with my daughter and we were working on some simple crafts, when all of a sudden I got a weird chill in the back of my neck. From there, I began to get shaky, and my stomach is twisting itself into knots. All I could do was was get up and begin pacing the hall.
I'm so tired of this... I guess...I am here to try and find some people who may be experiencing something similar to what I am going through.
