I've struggled with anxiety most of my adult life. When I was a child I was nothing short of terrified of everything.
When I was 21 I went through a hard withdrawal from Xanax. Since then I haven't had a single day that has been calm, but lately, it has been worse.
When I was younger I didn't eat much, occasionally that would lead to some low blood sugar. I was a pretty scrawny kid with a horrible diet. But my mother (a major hypochondriac) led me to believe it was a condition I had and not just a symptom of not eating all day.
Fast forward to now, I have a crippling fear that I am going to faint. It actually drives me to the point of feeling constantly out of it. I haven't left my house in weeks. It has hindered my ability to be a good husband and father. I get bad Depersonalization, Lightheadedness and so on. Worse is that if I don't eat every couple of hours it gets worse. Even though I have had my blood sugar tested by doctors and at home, all normal.
I'm just reaching out for some support here. I want my life back, fear free. I have reached the point where I no longer have panic attacks, however, I am ALWAYS feeling out of it now. As if I am fighting to stay conscious and alive.
