Not to beat a dead horse by talking about my anxiety in every other post but I seriously don't remember having a bout that has lasted this long. My bouts of anxiety (trigger-induced or otherwise) have always lasted a few days, a week or two or maybe a month at the most.

Now, it's going past the two month mark so I'm concerned that my anxiety has become chronic and not just a once or twice a year thing. I'm noticing tingling on my left forearm, visual blurring and muscle twitches in my face and neck. That to me is scary stuff because I heard rabies could cause that too. Last night I had these sharp (but very mild) pains in my neck about 3-4 times in the evening.

I can also feel my nerves just buzzing away underneath and that's pretty scary too. Will I have to be on medication for the rest of my life?. What can I take to make this go away permenantly and without having to pop a benzo every morning and a Vistaril at night?. I want to feel good NATURALLY - not with a bunch of pills in me. I mean, anymore I HAVE to take medication or I am a basket case all day and somehow I just don't think it should be that way but I guess I have no choice, huh?.

Well, the lightening is booming away outside so I'd better post this before we have a power outage or something.

Hugs and kisses to all
