Really struggling today

[xvolatileheart]

This is the first time I've ever posted from work so that's a sign of how bad it is.

I am on day 3 of propranolol and at first I thought it was great because the heart symptoms were gone, but the anxiety is still there all the time and I still feel awful. I took 10mg at 8 this morning so maybe it's starting to wear off now (1pm) but I feel like I want to crawl out of my skin, lay on the ground, get a cab home, ANYTHING but be here right now. Nothing feels real, I feel like I'm going to pass out, like I'm going crazy, keep getting waves of panic that make me think I'm going to die. Funny thing is, I work in a hospital. I'm tempted to run down to A&E and get checked out!

Any bit of encouragement would be appreciated.

I ate some lunch and drank some water. Feels like the worst of it has passed. I'm so tired today, which probably isn't helping! Feeling a bit silly now for freaking out so much earlier.

Hey xvolatileheart,

Well done for getting through it! It's really easy to run in that situation so it's great that you managed to keep going and felt better afterwards.

Hi,

Just like you I'm getting anxious and moods up and down for a whole day. That's normal. Accept and embrace it, let it goes and passes by.

You've done so well, that you've managed it. You will get there
