Hiya ireland girl what meds did they put u on ?

[island girl]

Hi fisher! They put me on Prozac. I was on it before and I worked well for me. Was doing ok until last night and flowing into today :( it's just one of those days I guess.. Really feeling down and a bit helpless. I just want it to go away forever!! It's just going to take some time I guess. What kind of anxiety do you have? Are you on meds?

Welcome Island Girl, great step getting on the meds and therapist. Given time they will help. You also are lucky to have experience with it so hopefully no surprises in store for you.

Panic attacks suck in the worst way but as many here will tell you it is your body reacting to an over active or touchy panic switch in your brain. I know this may sound flippant and I don't mean to offend but often we cause our own panic attacks. Random thoughts or obsessing about something can trigger it.

I have suffered on and off with them for the better part of 20, well maybe 25 years. I understand where you are but rest assured you can beat it! Be kind to yourself. Be open to many different suggestions, you never know when an idea will pay off and help you. Don't give up!

There is so much experience here, and many many insightful and caring people. You are not alone with this.

Be well.
Cheers!

Thank you Pam!! It's very helpful sharing this with others who actually understand and been there! Yes, no surprises, but still very difficult :( have you heard/tried or know anyone who has, the anxiety revolution?? Sounds too good to be true, thinking about giving it a try. I'm starting to feel a bit normal now. One of my other problems is that I am afraid to take my Xanax!! Ugh...
