Trying this again...

[tlcmppa]

Hi everyone.

I am trying this again as I posted on the welcome page over a week ago, and well, my post hasn't shown up. Not sure why.

I am 42 years young, and suffering from anxiety on a daily basis. I wake up in the middle of the night in full blown panic attacks. It's horrible. I have only my husband to support me, and while he suffers anxiety as well, I can tell my issues are overwhelming him.

Not sure what else to talk about, or where to start... I poured my heart out on my first welcome post, but I guess it was too much, or it got misplaced...or something. I need a friend, I guess...who understands.

Thanks for listening.

I’m so sorry to hear about your struggles, girl. Wish I could give you a hug. I know it’s not easy to go through anxiety. Are you and your husband seeing a therapist/counselor? Please know that you can always come here to share, and I'm sure you'll find a lot of support here. Sending hugs & prayers your way!

I just started seeing a therapist a few weeks ago. My next appt is next week, but it can't come fast enough. Suffering nightly, can't sleep. Emotional breakdowns. Heart racing. The feeling of not being in control of myself. I don't know what to do. I am not suicidal, but I think I now understand why some people become that way. After so much of this... and not able to cope, I can see how one would think this is "it"... you know? I personally, have too much to live for, so that's obviously not an option... but wow, I wish there was a way to just get rid of it. "Poof". Be gone. It's complete torture.
