Hi, I'm new to this site, and I posted this as my new member greeting thing, but figured this might be a better place to post it and see if people have experienced similar things, and what medications/therapies/activities have helped. Thank you in advance!
I have various mental issues, but the panic disorder and general anxiety disorder have been very bad lately, and I find myself worrying so much about having another panic attack that my stomach starts hurting and then I panic and it starts the whole cycle again. I've had this since I was a young teen (I'm in my twenties now; it's been ~10 years), so it's nothing new, but it has come and go, and I thought it was mostly gone, but things have been much worse lately and it is becoming unmanageable again, and it is very scary. I didn't think anxiety was my biggest issue anymore (I was recently diagnosed with borderline personality disorder, and that has been my main focus in treatment lately), so it's frustrating and scary to have it come back like this. Just looking for some general good spirits mostly I guess; to feel like I'm not alone. I've been isolating for a long time now, which has been fine for the BPD, but when I get really bad anxiety it tends to make it worse to be alone. |
