Anxiety/panic attacks can come out of no where, and seems to have no reason. Did you ever go thru therapy to determine the root of your anxiety, there is always something inside us that is causing anxiety. It can be something that happened a long time ago that you have forgotten about, but it's still there, waiting to be dealt with. It's important to find out what that is so that you can get it out, deal with it and put it behind you. I know anxiety can present with new problems all the time, but I think I would see my doctor before assuming it is your anxiety with any new symptoms that arise. It does sound like it anxiety, but you should make sure. Keep us posted.
Dear
Can you please tell that when this problem started what happened actually
as anxiety develops over a periof of time and very much related to your basic nature , which could be emotional or whatever.
you said that you are afraid of some sudden bad news , what are those moments.
Is that someone you see at your home
Is that any phone call which triggers that.
Is there any incidents (Could be some of your relative sayign something which is not accepted by your mind)
there can be many scenarios , if you can tell me what is the reason you can think is the most fit.
Anxiety "for absolutely no reason" pretty much sums up anxiety disorder. All of us in this forum or agoraphobia forum, have experienced most of what you describe.
Sorry you are having the 'at home anxiety'. I used to have serious panic while awake and even in sleep according to my psychiatrist. Scary, because you need to feel safe and that is at home for most of us.
As i am not a doctor, can only tell you I have experienced everything you describe; it changes over the years and with life events, but the condition is one we live with.
I take klonopin only since anal cancer 2 yrs ago. For me, antidepressants cause serious gastric distress, so I go with an anti-anxiety, and practice getting out of the cocoon I put myself in following cancer treatment: fear of diarrhea in public place was chief challenge.
The nausea is a relatively new symptom with me, but I know it is anxiety related.
After attending my son's memorial service yesterday, and overestimating my ability to handle 300 people in 3 hrs on a beautiful but very warm day, you can guess what happened.
It started as we arrived at park: urge to go..fear that diarrhea would stop me from going through event. Handled it. Felt that disconnected feeling we all get after seeing 1 minute video of son and a twinge of anxiety when I was asked to sit in front row with family. Carried on. Got through the comments about my son given by friends and co-workers. Breathing and focusing on things like butterflies and the lake behind speakers.
I actually thought I had done good. Well I did.
Afterwards @ Starbucks, I passed out, vomited, and almost, but not quite ,messed my pants. Trip to ER; all systems fine: diagnosis: a major panic attack brought on by stress that had built up in 2 wks since my son was shot by his father to his memorial service. My spirit was calm but teary ..quite naturally: my body just said 'enough!'.
What I want you to know is this condition which we share can be managed: I would have done much better if I had taken 1/2 a klonopin before going to memorial.
Back to you: there are lots of ways to ease your discomfort, but in my opinion, you must have a medicine at right dose as your base; then bit by bit do things you need to.
Getting out each day is absolutely essential. I have been doing it for about a month, and get stronger each time. Walking helps with the breathing..usually. Don't expect a sudden improvement. I yawn to get my breathing right. Everyone has a trick that works.
Keeping a journal helps: it can be anything you want it to be: mine is bits and pieces of my day; random stuff mostly. Do keep track of meds taken and diet.
Keep posting ...lots of wonderful people here to support you. Try the agoraphobic forum. As that is my diagnosis, I am usually there.
