Help please; don't know what to do

[Mondie]

I have woken up this morning with really bad anxiety, my chest is tight with a feeling like I want to scream; I have butterflies in my stomach and I can not shake it. At this rate I can see me sitting on the sofa getting worse or pacing around the house.

What can I do to shake this feeling as I hate it and I'm so scared it will get worse. I have a sense of fear and dread almost like a feeling of impending doom - has anyone else had this??

sob :weep:

yes i know what you mean i was like this a few week ago i would wake up with butterflies and waves of panic rising up my body.I would be tired but i couldnt settle and i would pace up and down all day.I started fluoxetine and i am still not well but not as bad as i was.Hang in there. x

Hi!
Yes I have had this same feeling loads of times. It is really scary I know. In fact I am not having a good day today myself. (none are good, but some better than others!) It is all anxiety related and if you can possibly manage it, distraction does help.x
