Sick of dealing with anxiety

[cundiffs]

I am so sick of dealing with anxiety everyday. I am 33 years old and had my first panic attack 3 years ago. I went to the hospital because I thought I was having a heart attack. I had been doing great until January of this year and it has been a complete struggle everyday. I constantly think I am going to die of a heart attack or just fall over dead. I have went for chest X-rays and EKG's and my doctor say that my heart is good. I still question her and the worry of my heart is still heavy on my mind everyday. I do take Vibbryd and Ativan on a daily basis but the worry and dear never goes away. I am so sick of anxiety ruining my life and I just want to feel normal again. The only time I feel safe is when I am asleep cause I am not able to worry or have that constant fear running through my head.

I know the feeling. I have similar symptoms, of heart attack etc... But in my moments of clarity, I just get so sick of suffering. I'm 40, been battling panic anxiety for about 15 years. Been up and down, when up, one thing is always the same, I'm putting in the work. Push yourself, easier said than done I know, but that is the true way to recover. You can do it. Good luck.

Hi guys....think we all suffer the same symptoms.......been having anxiety and panic for 30 years am 45, don't think it ever goes, I think you learn to live and cope with it.

I think we all learn to cope to a certain degree but some days are so much harder than others. I never realized how many people suffered with anxiety until I started talking to more and more people. Wow....so many people suffer everyday the same way that we do. I am bound and determined that I will beat this someway somehow. It may take days, weeks, months, or years but I will beat this. I just want my life back and be the person that I once was.

Mate as I said, I suffer everyday, but as you said good and bad days, I accept I have got it and I lead a pretty normal life, I don't let the panic or nervous tension take over.
I knew a lot suffered but until I joined this forum I never in a million years knew how many.
It helps when new people join with all the symptoms I have, it has took some of mine away, every time I think this pain in the chest is bad I ignore it carry on and very soon the pain has gone.......the power of the mind is just amazing......the cure is inside the holder of the anxiety sufferer
