Lately I have been having issues with my anxiety. It has been through the roof at times. When I have the "attacks" I get an extreme feeling of dread. I'm having a really hard time relaxing due to it. I recently was inpatient and I feel like it did nothing to help me. I even got ECT and I feel that did nothing. actually if anything I have been having a harder time with this "dread" feeling sense ECT. This feeling needs to go because having bipolar is hard enough. has any one else gone through this. what did you do to cope.

Along with my bipolar, I have generalized anxiety disorder, PTSD, and OCD. I have had many ECTs, which are usually given in a series then spaced out over a longer time as maintenance. ECT helped my depression, at the cost of muscle spasms and memory problems. I think the only thing that really helped my anxiety was working with my pdoc on meds, xanax in my case. I think working with my T would help, but mine doesn't seem very effective. Hopefully yours will be better.

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