Hello fellow anxiety sufferers.... I'm glad that I'm not alone and that I have found this forum. A little about my anxiety... I have had panic attacks for over 25 years in varying severity. I've been managing them fairly well up until this summer. I took the summer off to relax and enjoy some major alone time. Well that turned out to be a bad thing for my anxiety. I've had some health issues as well. Staph infection then a week later I was in the hospital for chest pains. Turns out that Im hypoglycemic and that was contributing to some of the anxiety. I am going to a regular doctor soon as I haven't had any health insurance up until now (getting married this week). I've been having neck pain for the last few days... To the point of wearing a brace at times. Well this morning I woke up with a painful lump above my left ear. I also have a painful lump in my throat on the right side when I swallow. However my glands are swollen because I know my body is still fighting the infection from 2 months ago! They took me off of the sulpha antibiotics and put me on an ointment because I had an allergic reaction.
I'm embarrassed because I feel like a weak idiot. I've also had a couple of dizzy spells to the point that I grabbed my head and got up saying "oh my god what is happening!?". I feel :roflmao: pretty silly as I realize that if I'm dying then I am dying.... A coward dies a thousand deaths a courages man only one. But I feel strangely lonely.... Afraid..... And at times like I was completely insane.
I have a 20 year old son that has become agoraphobic over the last couple of years as well. This was after witnessing his brother have repeated seizures and refusing to take medication. I think this has worsened my condition as well.
Nice to me you all. :blush:
P.s. I also suffer from PTSD, self diagnosed dysmorphia, social anxiety etc. etc. etc.
P.s.s. I'm terrified to take ssri's, but I do take Xanax every great once in a while.
