I have serious anxiety issues. I already see a psychologist about it but it's not helping yet. I feel so ashamed of my problems. I have social phobia, emetophobia, I'm scared of dogs, I have school phobia, I'm a complete hypochondriac, I have generalized anxiety disorder (whatever it's called), I get severe panic attacks, I didn't think it could get worse but it has. Right now I am certain I will die. There is hardly a moment in the day when I am not in complete terror. It feels as though I'm falling off the world and drowning and trapped and going mad. It feels like something bad is looming and the world is sinister. I am so petrified I can't move most of the time. I don't know what I expect by posting this. I don't know...what if my anxiety is too severe to be treated? I have had it since I was 4/5 years old and it's been getting worse since then.

Hi Nami, that all sounds really hard to bear, but you can do it and you won't die. Counseling/therapy does take a while to have an effect. Can you ask to see a psychiatrist to get medications to help you out in the meantime?
I feel for you. Take care, Debbie __________________ I have known a great many troubles, but most of them never happened. Mark Twain |

 I think an appointment with a psychiatrist would be appropriate to see if your symptoms warrant any sort of medication. Take gentle care, Dee __________________ Parce que maman l'a dit

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
