I have not been around for awhile cause I was back in college and then I had problems with my antidepressant medication. I am now off antidepressants and managing well I believe. All the below problems I am having has been going on before & after antidepressants.

Does anybody else get major anxiety around dusk hours? I do!
Does anybody else get a bloated stomach when their anxiety gets high or triggered? I do and sometimes no trigger just boom, I'm anxious!

I have tried EVERYTHING during a anxious time from meditation, walking, prayer, redirecting thoughts, cuddling in warm blanket, and nothing works except the chill pill.

I know that our brains get overwhelmed etc but the anxiety comes SOOOO FAST WITH NO WARNING for me except the stomach bloating (which hurts).

Any feedback is appreciated

Could have written your post.
I've read cortisol levels increase with stress contributing to bloating & belly fat.
Might google it. Don't have any links to direct you.
Only thing I can contribute to the afternoon anxiety attacks is the half life of my klonopin, which I take at bedtime, 2mg.
Don't know if this helps but you are not alone.
