I've been there recently too! Started back at therapy and started back on medicine. Have you talked to a doctor or professional yet? It's good you're able to recognize what's going on!

Doing okay! I started back at teaching and coaching and have been extremely busy the past two weeks. My anxiety has been slightly up this week, but overall I'm doing okay.
I believe I'm right at...
My dad was often the same in the beginning. He just never had any experience with mental health issues so would say things like "just cheer up!" The way I explained it to my dad is some people just...
This is a very common fear of people with anxiety! I felt the same way, especially when I was in the midst of an anxiety attack or panic. They won't think you're crazy. I went and was very honest...
On day 8 now! Still have a bit of general anxiety, but have only gotten panicky a little bit. Nothing full blown since last week. Physical symptoms feel better, but maybe a tad weird feeling to get...
I will definitely check those out! Logic behind my anxiety usually makes me feel more sane and way less heath conscious and nervous.
Doing okay! On day 3. No insomnia like I was expecting. Some general anxiety present, but haven't felt totally panicked or overwhelmed since I started.
Panic makes me a bit agoraphobic so I made...
My doctor suggested breaking my 10s into two 5s and taking one in the morning and one at night rather than the 10 at once which shocked my system too much. Might have some insomnia tonight, but...
I love these suggestions! Luckily my bf is off work this week so if I start today I'll be five days in by the time Monday rolls around. He's had to take some calls this morning so the forum has been...
I've been taking Lexapro 5mgs for 5 weeks and based on the level of my anxiety and panic, my doctor said I need to start taking 10s. I'm very scared to up my dosage. I tried to take a 10 last week...
Haha! Really like the bear analogy. I'm going to remember this for my super anxious moments.
At least we're in this together :)
Ive been taking Lexapro 5s for 5 weeks and am upping them to 10 today. I also have seen my therapist twice now. I'm hoping this mixture helps us through this rut....
I'm in the same boat as you. I first remember having panic attacks around 20. I just had a few really great years and now I'm 27 and suffering from some severe anxiety again. I'm trying to remind...
Restarted Lexapro about a month ago! My doctor actually gave me a prescription for xanax last week, but I'm very hesitant to take it. I can be a creature of habit.
We were trying to go to Aruba. Ending up having to cancel to try and figure out myself first. Definitely doesn't help with the anxiety though- now the boyfriend is upset with me, so that's some added...
Has anyone ever cancelled a trip due to anxiety? I'm almost to that point. I just don't feel ready to travel outside of the country feeling like this.
Anyone else have bad travel anxiety? Supposed to be leaving in two days for a longer trip, but the more I think about it, the more anxious I get.
So sorry this is happening to you. Sending some good vibes to your family.
Thanks for the replies guys. It helps to have some support! I'm not looking forward to night two of medicine.
I just restarted Lexapro, so I'm trying to get through some of the initial side effects. I went to a new therapist for the first time. I'm trying to actually let myself feel, but being anxious makes...
I joined this forum about 4 years ago when I was going through some anxiety and depression. I spent 3 years feeling a lot better, but just had a relapse about 3 weeks ago. I had a giant panic attack...
I had a really good day yesterday and stayed busy and spent time with friends, but now I'm alone today and totally miserable and back in a yuck place.
Thanks guys :)
Today is my first day actually alone and I'm nervous. I'm gonna let myself just hang alone for a while to work on not being dependent on anyone. If worst comes to worst I can...
I'm looking forward to finding someone who hopefully treats me a lot better. Deep down I know it's probably for the best, but when I do get overwhelmed you get that feeling of like "I can't live...
It's just spikes so much discomfort I haven't been able to really eat or sleep since Thursday. It's so awful.
