I keep losing my breath

[sweety79]

I really just need support and vent my anxiety to others that understand these horrible feelings and emotions that we deal with. I do not suffer with anxiety everyday, mine is more set off by triggers (situations). The different triggers are health issues, medical situations, and the one that is affecting me severly at the moment is seperation anxiety. I will be leaving for Florida at 3:00 am and right now I feel like I am losing it. I keep losing my breath, sick at my stomach, and I have cried so much today. Its weird because I know my thought process is irrational, but its like I can't stop it. I have went to a psychologist for a little while, but my insurance only pays for ten sessions a year which just barely stratches the surface of my problems. I have been really thankful that I am able to get on here and get support from others who have been through it. People that truly understand and are caring. Anyways thank you for allowing me to vent and listening. I am sure I will be on here for the next several days.

Thank you everyone for responding. Dereks406 in the past it had turned out it was the anticipation of the trip itself, and I usually got better when I got there. I hope it is the same way this time. It is so hard dealing with in anxiety and plus the seperation anxiety just makes it worse.

I wonder if it's anticipation that is getting to you.  Maybe once you are in Florida you will feel better. Anticipating an event is a killer for me.  Getting up in the morning I tend to be quite nervous just thinking of the day ahead but once I get into the day I feel better.

thats how its start. you are anxious but dont feel it, but thats the beginning. you have to get meds because after a while you may feel you cant go up a hill, or over a bridge. everthing will seem un real.  and you will feel alone, it feels like the room is closing in.
