my anxiety is out of control right now!
it is 2:30 am here, i have work tomorrow, and my mind is racing. my stomach has been hurting and i'm convinced that it's something "serious" (which it never is... part of my OCD is a complete fear that horrible things will happen to my body, getting sick, etc.) right now i'm afraid of dying in my sleep. even though i'm a relatively healthy 20 year old... i just can't. handle. this. much. anxiety. i'm worried i'm going to have another stress-seizure, which is the last thing i need right now. i'm sorry if this post seems whiney and self-indulgent, but i feel like i'm peeling off the mask of normalcy i parade to those around me. while internally i feel like screaming. ack.

I am up. My first anxiety attack was out of a dead sleep. I swore I was unwillingly going to jump over the railing of my 3rd story apartment. are you on any meds that would make it stop? I got put on benzos the next day. They really help.

i'm completely afraid of meds. putting anything into my system freaks me out. sometimes i get mini panic attacks from taking ibuprofen because it can cause stomach bleeding. plus i heard that once you go on benzos you can't ever stop. that freaks me out too. in fact, everything pretty much scares me. sometimes i wish i never had to leave my house  . i get the same "i'm going to throw myself over" feeling walking up flights of stairs that you can see down between the railings (you know what i mean...?) when i can the floor i freak out and my knees buckle and i have to touch the wall. are you afraid of heights?

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