Hello everyone, I'm new on here...i have been suffering with anxiety since i was 16 but it didn't get bad to were i couldn't function til 3 years ago, i had the worst panic attack in my life and have never been the same since...i had been on medication before and currently not on any and haven't been on any for awhile but still live with some anxiety during the day but lately i have been so stressed out and now it's taken its toll out on me... My car broke down and now whenever i go anywhere i feel stuck and have a panic attack cause in not in control of the situation, now more then ever i want to stay home... I'm so tired of feeling helpless, scared, tense, dizzy, irritable, not myself, like a robot. It feels like I'm in a movie watching a movie, o look at myself and sometimes i don't see the person i was...

Hang in there as the way you feel right now is not how you'll always feel. You can get much better with treatment and some work. Alankay

I understand how you feel, though the reasons are different. I think about myself in the same way. Over 2 months ago, I went through an experience that I wish I chose not to go through with. Now I have developed anxiety and now I long to feel like how I used to. The only thing I can say is don't give up, because it's true, you won't feel like this forever. Everyday that you choose to move forward makes you a stronger person. I believe that you will get through this. Anxiety is a beast but it is one that can be surmounted.
