Hey there, Hope you are feeling a little better and that the anxiety has subsided a little. I too have tremendous anxiety bouts and it is really crippling. Sometimes I have to stop and think...Why am I feeling this way? Then I have to think, hmm have I stopped doing something that I use as a tool to feel better? ...Usually thats the case (for me...bad habit) ... my best tool is excercise. I dont mean the work out at the gym type, but walking mostly. This is the best stress/anxiety/depression treatment I have that I can control on my own.
I also do take lorazapam which helps a lot. and am on a antidepressant.
I also write a lot and also pray and go to church for a bump to my week.
Most of the time, if I am doing all of thins (if I manage my time well), then I feel really good...most of the time...
So basically, if you can try something, I sugg walking, even if its 20 mins in the am or 10 mins at lunch, or 30 mins after work, I think you will feel better. It may not be the only solution. We all have our own "feel better techniques" but after you take the 1st step in whatever you choose I think you may start to feel a little less anxious. Give it a try if you can...I am rooting for you!
oh yeah ..Up until 6 mos or so I never took anything for this 30 yr struggle ...didnt beleive it was a good idea...I still struggle with the idea a little....buuuutt...it does help....especially for anxiety. Try to be open to taking an anti anxiety med w/your anti depressant ... you can take as little as you like as you need it and it likely will help take the edge off and help you thru your day....especially at work!

Hope you have a better day
