No doubt, this 'thing' is worse than anything I have experienced, it rules your life. I was hit by a car and badly injured but at least I knew what was broken and that I would start feeling better after time. This 'thing' you don't know when it's gonna end.
Just do the things you feel most comfortable with and if a situation, people, places make you anxious try to avoid them for a while and approach them when you are feeling strong (if you can) no need to put extra stress on your body. If you dont have medical insurance you can go to a free clinic and if you can't afford the medication call the pharmaceutical company itself and tell them what your situation is they will sometimes give you free medication.
You can always try a herbal remedy I am taking 'Tranquinol' which is helping also Valerian helps you sleep. I sympathize with you as my anxiety started in January also and I feel exactly the same way.......nothing gets me going, not even shopping and I'm a clothes horse!
I have been 'down' before and have done things to boost me up, running, out with friends but this 'anxiety thing' is different you can't judge your emotions all the things that made me feel better now give me panic attacks.
There are millions of people like you so don't feel alone, ride the wave, it will get better and if you feel like you need the help of medication you may have to take it although I would rather do it naturally.
thx 4 your comment I really appreciate your advice
I have heart palpitations too, they scare me almost everytime even though ive had two ekgs, and chest xrays and they all came back normal...
Hello man, im 20, i feel similar to you had one panic attack last january and something has changed inside me, i have been having palpitations everyday since, and can always feel my heart beating, i have had tests done which are clear, yet i still keep thinking in the back of my mind that there is something wrong with my heart, i am currently scraping my way through college even though my attention span feels like it has almost diminshed, have exams in 4 weeks and getting seriously freaked. My advice to you is to stay as positive as possible and to be very,very patient and although it may be another while yet, this will pass and you will have your life back before January
