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)

anxiety can fool you, most of the time it just happens, your at the wrong place at the wrong time with the wrong person that wants to fight with you on the wrong day at the wrong moment. It can run your life, I hate to be in the back seat but when I am upset or mad, there is no room for me in the front. That's where my anger sits. Honkin at the jurk that just pushed me off the road. Or having a car cross the double yellow line in the dark and hit a dog head on right in front of me.He never stopped. I was so pissed I went into a rage, I lie to you not, I drove my SHO which goes 140 miles and hour, right up his but. I could not see the plates with my hand on the horn for more then 7 miles I could of hit him...not a safe of smart thing to do.. He couldn't get away from me. I don't know what I would of done if he pulled over. I was out of my mind. Anxiety stops us from thinking clearly. I was put into the hosp because my blood pressure was 240/120. Over stress and anxiety into a panic. Now, I try to count to ten. I can feel it building inside and I try so hard not to let it get the best of me.
I have a great psychologist who understand me very well. You know what really helped me? I got tested. They can do it in the office. IQ, ink blocks the works. Now I know who I am and why I am this way. It helps me have control of my body and mind. It made a difference just to understand who you are and what your are made of. Reading your list, I think we all have felt that way,no one can change it but you. You have to learn who you are and then like what you see, if you don't, then fix it. Lots of meds makes things different too, your not you. They help for sure, but before I take a pill I want to know what it is for, why do I need it and what happens to me if I do or don't take it. read and learn everything you can never take one man's word, 2 or more is far better and that's counting you who helps deside whats best for you. God bless you hope things work out for you.
