Hi guys, I used to post in the bipolar forum and just letting you know I'm doing ok. Wanted to post this thread here in the anxiety forum. I am feeling better. So my "manic" episodes went away. But right now for the past month I've been having constant anxiety/panic attacks non-stop. I don't know what to do to calm down. I feel like I'm sweating and my body feels a bit numb. I have shallow breaths, my stomach feels like its in not's and I feel butterflies sometimes. And I feel like I gotta vomit. I feel like a complete mess.I'm also having dreams about my fears and worries that wont go away. I'll be seeing a therapist soon for that problem. I'm constantly shaking I can't seem to stop. My body feels cold from the anxiety. How the heck am I suppose to calm down? I feel like my anxiety meds aren't working either. I would listen to some AMSR videos on YouTube because they used to help me feel calm. But I am afraid too because I am afraid of hearing voices. I don't literally hear voices though. I get rushing thoughts when I feel anxiety. I don't know what to do at the moment. It feels like it's hard to breathe too. So I feel like I'm in a loop here. I can't toughen this out and too afraid to fall asleep because I don't want to get nightmares from worrying too much. I've been dealing with that as well. When I get my anxiety it keeps me up all night. Only at night for some reason. I never had this issue before. If anyone can tell me any tips I would really appreciate it.

I don't smoke, or drink because I am on an antidepressant. I'm not allowed to either. Because I got asthma. And I feel like my head is spinning from the anxiety. My chest feels tight, etc. I feel like I got allot on my mind that I can't shake off. It's starting to give me stress and I feel like I am worrying WAY too much about my problems. I tried meditation, and my body seems to refuse to relax. So I don't know what to do at this point. The ER is diffidently out of the question too because they would just send me home or put me in the psychward. Which I don't want to end up in either. I feel too scared for no reason. I honestly don't know what to do. I'm a 26 year old male with a disability still living with parents at the moment. I have bipolar. It's hard to get a job so I'm living on disability. So yeah I feel like someone is choking me too so my family is known from getting anxiety/panic attacks. What can I do to make my self calm down? Thank you. I know this sounds like a difficult question.

But I've tried meditation, deep breathing, belly breathing, etc. Nothing works, most of the time I forget to breathe too because I'm always worrying what I'm going to do with my life. Or I keep worrying about my mistakes I've made or my goofups/misunderstandings. Sorry. I mostly feel it in my neck, shoulders, head, and chest. So it sucks having to deal with it. Every time I go out side I feel much better though, but I can't because its dark out. Thank you if advice. I've never been through this much in my life. It's ridiculous. I've been losing sleep over it. Thank you in advice. Sorry if I sound crazy or anything.
