I'm very very anxious for many reasons . This came 2 days ago and now I just can't come down to speak. I'm nervous,on edge, tired. Will this ever go away. Been on Prozac for 3 weeks why suddenly an I worse and why won't the constant anxiety go away
It will recede eventually. Do your best to try and relax your body and mind.

Thankyou but it's the relaxing bit that I can't do .
you can relax, its not impossible. your body is on 'alert' mode and is prepared accordingly. so it takes a little longer to settle. give your mind permission to relax. Try mindfulness or yoga or progressive relaxation to h elp settle.

You could always speak to your GP about the constant nature of the anxiety - there are meds you can take until the other stuff starts to work. I know how awful the constant anxiety is - have you had a look at the articles on this site about first steps and coping. I found them reassuring.
It will pass but good to consider ways to help you right now.
Take care
When I was first dealing with so much anxiety I found that the only way to calm down was deep breathing. I'd sit down in a comfortable spot, let my head hang and breathe as deep and slow as I could. At first I had to do this for a whole hour to let my heart slow down to a normal pace. But as time went by it took me shorter and shorter times.
Now I only need to take 2 - 10 deep breaths and my body calms down.
It's all a matter of practice. Hope this helps.

Thankyou. I will try this. Didn't realise it could take so long to calm down .

it's proportionate to the degree of chronic tension and willingness to let go
