well, i did great for 4 months... no anxiety... then it crept back up 2 weeks ago.. had a panic attack in the car... then after that I've had anxiety for 2 weeks.... got to the point where I feared each day... dreaded each day... i saw my psychologist... before going to the my actual medical Doctor.... didn't help much b/c I was severely having anxiety for days and days and days. Here are my symptoms that LAST FOR DAYS AND DAYS AND DAYS! 2 WEEKS TO BE EXACT THIS TIME AROUND!
Bad butterflies in the stomach!!!!!!!!!
flushed face
Body temperature increase or decrease
Clumsiness, like off balance
Excess of energy, you feel you can’t relax
Heart palpitations, racing heart (104 beats per minute)
nervous energy
Night sweats
Trembling or shaking
Fear that you are losing your mind or going crazy
Fears about irrational things
Difficulty thinking, speaking, forming thoughts, following conversations
Having difficulty concentrating
Repetitive thinking or incessant ‘mind chatter’*****
Trapped in your mind feeling
crying b/c im so scared and exhausted from feeling like this
Have no feelings about things you used to
emotionally numb
Diarrhea (sometimes)
Dry mouth
Lack of appetite or taste
Difficulty falling or staying asleep
So after having all of this for 2 weeks,... I had to go to the Dr. and get a little help. I'm going to continue seeing the psychologist too. I think the 2 mixed together are a good combo. Or will be for me. I think this is just a phase I'm going through hopefully. I'm only 25. It all started 3 months after my grandma died last year.. and 3 months after I had my first baby! My brother was addicted to painkillers... And while this was happening... I had HUGE success on the internet... (im an independent film maker. Spike Television bought some of my material) www.canotedesigns.com
Anyways, would like to know if your symptoms are anything like mine at all.
And going back on the meds, is a good thing for me right now lol.
I'm starting to feel a lot better today (either b/c my spell is leaving, or my lexapro, 5mg is already working... I just started it lastnight lol)
