I've had enough of this anxiety. I'm calling it anxiety anyway, because I don't know what else to call it. I'm worried about everything. I see disaster around every corner. I make my wife text me when she gets to work all the time now, even when the roads are clear and there is no reason she wouldn't. I start to panic when I get in the car because there are so many ways to die. I called in to work two out of four days this week because I was so afraid of making the drive. I hear the house creak, and my first thought is it's going to collapse. I know that, logically, most of my fears don't even make sense, but they are all too real. I tried talking to my pdoc about it, she told me to talk to my T about it. Someone has to do something, or I think I'm gonna snap.

It sounds like you can't turn the hyper vigilance off. I am surprised that your pdoc isn't addressing this. Maybe you should get a second opinion from a different psychiatrist.

I have had similar challenges where I was just so incredibly sensitive and I didn't understand it myself. I took Klonopin for a while to help while I saw a therapist.
You are still very young, only 23, so you may need to see a neurologist too. I don't want to scare you by suggesting that, but I know first hand that it is important to get more than one opinion.

I have been in a super anxious phase, im going through many stressors right now, everything bothers me, every sudden noise in the house makes me jump, the phone rings and my heart starts racing, the latest fear, is that the house is under a sinkhole, my pdock is booked until next week.
