    Hi Steve

    Sorry to hear your not doing well at the moment.  It sure is a bumpy ride.  May I ask what meds you are on and the dosage?

      Did you find CBT helpful or not.  Do you practice mindfulness?  Can you just go with the anxiety and then let it go. You might have to do this over and over again but the anxiety does lesson.

    Hey Steve I'm feeling you. Rite now I'm in pain and frustration as i write. Tears in the eyes as i was at church when anxiety peaked. My Fren had to take me home. My stomach ache i feel like throwing up. In jus feeling sick. Im fed up as well cause i was good until Monday of last week i just kept on the edge. I jus cant come to terms anxiety disorder is doing me so bad. Been struggling fr last November till now n jus cant cope.

      Hi Shannon hope you are feeling a bit better now. You will cope even though you think you can't. I don't know how we will do it but we will. Anxiety is a feeling but you can get through it. I have days when i don't know how I even got out of bed. My head spins and I just want the world to stop. Don't let it win I try desperately not to let it . You went to church so it didn't stop you, ok you didn't stay the whole time so what. Next time you could keep trying it is no different to any other illness it will test you everyday xxx

    Steve I know exactly how you feel! I have a 1 year old son and I'm scared to go in public because I have panic attacks!! I also have a fear of driving! I'm tired when I wake up plus I have other symptoms as well! Headache fatigue chest pressure stomach trouble! I know it's exhausting but harming yourself is only going to make things worse for you! Have u talked to a therapist! Staying busy is also a good way to push out negative thoughts! I am usually on edge and always nervous which is a terrible feeling! Regular exercise and eating healthy helps to I'm her if you need me
