my anxiety is 24-7

hi im 20 yrs old and i have had anxiety for nearly 5 years now.. i got it when i was 15 when i started to smoke weed. i only smoked it about 5 or 6 times but the last time i did it felt like i was high for 2 weeks straight. everything moved really slowly and it felt like i didnt know my friends or family when i sore them and i would be like who are you sort of thing but deep down i knew who they where. then one day about a week or 2 after i was high for 2 weeks i was in my mates car and we had the windows up.. and i started to feel like i couldnt breathe i had a little panic attack then but it went away straight away.  then about a week later i was in the computer and i just had a panic attack out of no where i ran into my bedroom and put the fan on my face screaming for my mums help as i didnt know wat was going on i thought i was dieing. and from that day on i have had anxiety. i went on luvox tablets for about a year about a year ago and i have been off them since and i have been to see the psychologist about a year ago aswell.. but the anxiety still doesnt go away.. i feel asthough i am the only one who is feeling this. everyday i feel asthough im not real and nothin is real and everything moves so slowly. im always constantly tired. i always feel asthough i cant breathe. i always feel my heart beating faster and faster and faster. it is so hard to live with i just wish it would go away what can i do for me to make me feel normal again

Hi, Your not alone my friend....iv had that derealization, depersonilazation and alot more symtoms for a few years now, so I know how you feel. I too wish it would go away.
The only thing i can say is that i find eating healthy, yoga, meditation, working out, spending time with good friends and family, laughing....helps a little.

The only thing to do is exept it for what it is and go with the flow stop trying to beat it just except that you have anxiety.

This is your challenge in your life and when you get over it you will be a better person..

Keep the faith!!
