BAD Anxiety today :(

[Shanny]

Hi Everyone....I need someone to calm me down, I have no idea why I am so anxious today....I am going through my routine this morning and think that it is one of three things....coffee, my CT Scan results that I will be getting this afternoon and prozac, which I have started prozac again, and I am getting the usual symptoms i.e; headache, stomach churning and anxiety.....I hate this feeling, it feels like my skin is crawling, and that there is something in the back of my mind telling me that something bad is going to happen :( I know it's all a result of my anxious mind, I'm all worked up and scare that I will get a bad result. Please give me some reassurance :)

Hello Shanny. Do you know any breathing exercises? That helps calm me down when I get really bad. Plus, if you're able to, lie down with some calming music.

Nic has posted info about breathing exercises here (http://www.nomorepanic.co.uk/showpost.php?p=30686&postcount=2).

Do you have any techniques you use to calm yourself. I know it's difficult to focus at times like this, but it really is worth persevering.

Best wishes and let us know how you're doing ok? :)

So, I went to the ENT and I got my results back....sinuses look ok, narrow, and stuff but pretty normal....but they found a slight abnormality in my left temporal lobe...the bump on the back of your head....so I have to get another CT scan of my ears...I told the specialist that I suffer from severe anxiety and was this extra test something I should be worried about and he said "no" but I can't help it....I had a panic attack on my way home....and finally calmed down to say to myself...I'm dwelling on the what if's....thanks everyone for your kind words...I will keep you posted. *deep breath*.....I have to stay away from google.....have too.....
