i just dropped into another anxiety attack and i don't know what to do, i have no one to talk to because my family all have there own issues and i cant bear adding to there pain. it was over something so stupid, i was just saying that i was going to put the battery back into my scooter and someone said that id left it to long and that it wouldn't work anyway because bla bla bla and anyhow the registration had run out and just i felt the tide rising, my throat got tight and i felt sick to my stomach which is ridiculous because i know logically that all those things are fine and can easily be dealt with...i don't know what to do, its like one min i'm fine and the next iv lost all sanity and want to huddle in a corner and never leave the house again.

Sorry you're feeling so anxious, it really is debilitating! Are you intouch with your doc about this? Do you take anything for it? If not, maybe now is the time to se a doctor. Hang in there!

rking, sorry to hear you're having a sucky day. I sometimes marvel at how stupid the triggers for anxiety can be. Simple things that I normally wouldn't worry about at all can become grave concerns that leave me twisted. This phenomenon has led me to believe that it's not situations causing anxiety but instead my anxiety starts and my brain, wanting a logical explanation for the emotion, picks something to blame for it.

I have the same issue. I don't have the actual attacks, just the debilitating fear. I still drag myself through the day and do all the stuff I need to do but I'm living a lie. I feel all the time like fear and anxiety and panic are eating me alive from the inside. I feel like everyone is leaving me behind and I'm just stuck and always will be, stuck in these insane and unfounded fears about...nothing at all, actually. But I'm paralyzed almost all the time.
Anyway, not trying to hijack this conversation. I just wanted to relate. And I'm having a really hard time right now too. And I'm tired of feeling like I'm alone in it.
