I'm having the strangest anxiety right now. Other than the stress I'm already under, in the past few hours I've been scared. That's the only way I can describe it. Like a feeling of doom that something very not good is going to happen. I'm even worried about my bf driving home from work later. Or that some plug in the living room will start fire if I fall asleep. Stuff like that. Just a gut feeling that is driving me up a wall. I'm trying to hold off on my ativan though because it will just make me sleepy. Not sure how much more I can take of this though.

This happens to me too. Exactly the same thing. I usually give up and take a Klonopin. Sorry could not be of more help

i get that gut feeling sometimes too

I get this a lot lately. I try to distract myself but it can get really bad. Ativan does the same thing or doesn't work at all. Its a horrible feeling.

Hope you're feeling a little relief by now. Idk how to fight that feeling. I usually hug a pillow until I fall asleep :/

I've had a lot of that myself. Things can be going very well, and then some dreadful thoughts come in. I'm mostly thinking about if something should happen to me with my health and I'm alone (which I am).

Yesterday someone at my job didn't show up for work. Another person told me that he was sick, so that explained why he was not there. I really missed him because I had to pick up some slack while he was gone. Today he came back. I asked him if he had a cold. He told me that he didn't. He had lower abdominal pain. It was still bothering him today. I just said, "Yikes" to myself.

I have a tendency to think that whatever happens to someone that's not good, it could happen to me.

When my anxiety was at its worst I was like that, I was constantly terrified. I think dread is a good word to describe it. I started drinking to try calm myself down which in hindsight was a terrible idea! Meds helped me alot, I don't get that feeling of dread anymore.

I have a nurses appt at my pdoc on the 4th to discuss a diff PRN. Ativan is not cutting it anymore. Not 2, or 3! I quit my buspar to make room for a stronger med. I don't think the buspar was doing anything anyway. Eventually the feeling passed but that's the worst kind of anxiety to me.

This happens to me sometimes. Awful feeling. I never know what to do about it so I just end up going to bed. I hope you're able to find a med that works better! The only thing that ever helped me was clonazepam but I'm never going on that again. No way.

So I brought this up in my usual BP area and someone commented that this could be mild psychosis?! Ok now I really AM scared lol. I guess it is a feeling of paranoia but my anxiety often stems from me being paranoid about something in particular first. I am on a new AP and maybe it's not working. I'm so scared of psychosis with my BP. I've only had it once but I was blacked out and don't remember (thank gawd). Now I'm worried I'll never be med free. That my BP is getting worst even though I've thought I've been stable on my current meds. I guess this goes in the BP section but now I'm having anxiety about my BP! Lol

Stay strong, Queen! I find it very easy to start freaking out about freaking out and it turns into a terrible ugly tornado of panic. I know it's hard, but try to not ruminate over it and be upfront with your friends and docs and address your concerns. Hope you feel better!

hope you get to feeling better.

not really knowing what you're scared of can really be scary in itself.

so makes it harder for people who are all ready scared (like in your case)

Yep, happens to me, too. I hope you find a med that helps.
