Yesterday I had a pretty bad panic today and today I have bottled up anxious energy. I really want it to go away as its making me feel really down and super paranoid :(

I've been like that the past few days that's what brought me to this site. Hopefully everyone on here can help calm each other down and maybe share tips on dealing and overcoming the anxiety . Good luck with your journey :)

Hey there! Are you being treated for anxiety at all? Medication can be beneficial to create a space between you and anxiety, so that you can then use skills to navigate uncomfortable feelings, like meditation or journaling.

Hi there, yes I have been diagnosed with anxiety it has been very manageable but recently my work place has been sparking these panic attacks and anxiety. It's the only thing that gets me like this. I am afraid to take medication I have a young son who I take care of wile my partner works away and I wouldn't want his care compromised by my condition and medication. I am currently considering leaving my workplace and hoping this will let me work on myself and take away that trigger point

I understand your hesitation to medication. Only you can decide if that is or is not something you're willing to explore now, or in the future. Can you go out on a medical leave? If they're unable to accommodate you, you may be entitled to unemployment.

We are on a position were I can be a SAHM and I wouldn't want to go down that path (thanks for the thought) I think I just need to decide either way.
