Anxiety can feel pretty bad, even though i've had really bad panic attacks I've never gone to the hospital, even before I got diagnosed with GAD ... and depressed, always staying in my room, a hermit for a year... Never did. My parents were at their wits end, they hadn't a clue what was going on with me, and at that time I didn't either.

Whenever I have bad anxiety I sometimes call my Psychiatrist, leave her a message sometimes it takes awhile for her to get back to me though, and sometimes by the time she does then the anxiety has past.

That's one thing to remember it always passes, even when it's at it's worse. It's good that you are writting things down, that will likely help you out, and if you cannot see a pattern then your doctor likely will.

Meds will help for most people some of the symptoms of anxiety, but it won't get rid of them, only we can.. find the cause, face it, and deal with it, only then will the anxiety start to disappear.

One thing not to do when you are anxious is to keep avoiding the situation, I did that and it got to the point back in the day that I couldn't leave my house, go out and get a job, Actually still struggling with that...

I use to have nightmares, aparently twice in a row I was screaming in my sleep, but I didn't wake myself up but my parents both heard me a couple months ago, and I don't recall the dream. That happened 2 nights in a row.

Sometimes it will take a while to figure out what the cause of the anxiety is, but once you do then you can tackle it. For me it started with school anxiety and then it just snowballed from there.

It takes time, but you'll figure it out, just don't feel discouraged when you have a bad day, we all get them , me included. Keep fighting...
