Lately I have been having issues with my anxiety. It has been through the roof at times. When I have the "attacks" I get an extreme feeling of dread. I'm having a really hard time relaxing due to it. I recently was inpatient and I feel like it did nothing to help me. I even got ECT and I feel that did nothing. actually if anything I have been having a harder time with this "dread" feeling sense ECT. This feeling needs to go because having bipolar is hard enough. has any one else gone through this. what did you do to cope.
