I am tired of it too.  But, it comes and goes - and many many times it comes after the storm.  It's like, I need to be strong through some traumatic event - so I am.  Then, after it's all over and life should be peaceful - I have anxiety.  it's like post traumatic stress disorder.  The war is over, but your body just doesn't know it.  I hate meds too, but I trust my doc (had to find a good one first) and I take my cymbalta like he says.  If I don't feel good on it ( I don't right now ) I just tell him and we discuss other meds.  I was on Zoloft and it worked pretty good.  Meds definitely are not the cure - they are just part of the journey we face.  Venting, therapy, learning what to do with this anxiety is our cross to bear I guess.  It can go away, so just keep that in mind, because if you lose hope then you'll decrease your chances of getting better.  I'm right there with you though - life should be good, but I'm anxious.  Annoying!

hey there....
First off.... I agree with one of the above posts. I have come to find that true, about when the stressful events take place, that we may not have the anxiety so bad, but... maybe weeks later it hits us. It's weird, but true.

so how are your pvc, has the meds done good for you . i know it comes and goes but ,i guess you try get used to it and cant . today some better i have the stress but not as bad but who knows what the next 10 mins holds, i try and get out go somewhere but it follows me there to . i guess am not the only one who has it here and there , when i got it about 3 yearsago i was stressed over i failed the treadmill test had to do a heart scan, it came back fine, i had stress maybe for a week after that and it went away, this time its been 3 weeks and will not leave me a lone i guess thats why i feel like its never going away . i guess i need to take my ativan at least one time a day and see if that helps. i have even had a few pac with it today, so i guess that is stress because they have been gone for a few weeks . i know when i can eat again my stress is getting better but today i have had only a few crackers all i can get down maybe dinner will be better . ok thanks for talking i love the form i think ya are all great people

yes... the medicine has definitely helped. I have had very few today, and last night was fairly decent of a night. I think that it is doing me a great deal of improvement. I am a bit tired, but... it keeps me more relaxed, and don't get bothered by things as much. Maybe you should speak with your dr about changing your meds. Maybe you have become immune to the meds you are taking, and need to try something else. You did say you were taking something correct?

glad you feel so much better thats great i know you have lived with the pvc a long time and its great that your getting a break.

yes i am on meds am on timolol which is a old bb, ive been on it for 15 years and it still holds them down i do have breake throughs but most time its great.
i did change meds 3 times in two weeks i tried toprolxl and atenolol they were both to strong for me took my bp way down and i could not get over the weakness or tiredness, i think thats what caused my anxiety to come on trying to get on a new med, plus my moms surgery all played a big role init.

i feel better dright now today has been a ok day for me yesterday was not so hot. but iam hoping that my stress is gone out of my house that i can get it back together.thats my plan.

well you take care always a pleasure talking to you, hope thoses mean old pvc leave you a lone. God Bless you . Barbara

I always get more anxiety after any event that causes anxiety that I go through, however my anxiety is constant. It does not go away. I cannot take meds as the side effects are to harsh for me. i also work and have a 3yr old to chase after. I have a wonderful husband, and a great son, however I just cant seem to ever feel good. I will not tell you to relax as that is just an insult in my opinion. I will say that I try and journal as much as possible, this sometimes helps. I don't know what the future brings, just try to have hope that something good will happen. Have a great evening.

thank you for the kind words. i know how hard it must be on you if you cant do meds, i have them but fight it all day i only take them when am laying on floor about to give up. no its not easy and its got to be one of the hardest things to have. because there is no releaf, you might take meds but they have bad side affects and the one i take is not a everyday med its just when am at the end of my rope and than i push a little harder. i have a great husband hes so there for me if not for him not sure what i would do. God Bless yu and i hope your days are better . i also write it down so when i think its really bad or did i do that before i can go back and see ,yup same old thing anxiety it helps to do that . have a great day .
