Hi again

I'm sitting here with this hot weight on my chest and I'm tense all over.

I can not shake it.

It's so horrible

I no how u feel I had all that it's hard u have to take it day by day do u hav any help

I have my mum at home with me and my daughter.

I have seroquel and valium tho I am very careful with the valium as I don't want to be addicted.

I just want it to go away.

I am trying to tell myself to accept the waves of it when it comes and it will pass.

But they keep on coming

Hi Jane.. When I first started zoloft I felt constant anxiety and that feeling of tightness in my chest. I am on day 20 and I am finally feeling better. I still get a bit of anxiousness but I can tell it's starting to work. Please stick with it. It will start working soon. I was given xanax to help with the panic and anxiety and I was afraid to take it because I didn't want to get addicted but if you need it don't be afraid to take it just don't abuse it. There were times when meditation and breathing did not help and I needed that little extra help that the xanax provided.

Also I find if you distract yourself it helps a bit. When I felt that constant anxiety I would sit outside on my porch, play a game, call a friend.. Anything to take my mind off of it for a second. I also discovered Bexlife on YouTube. She is a meditation and yoga teacher and her videos have been really helpful! There is one about panic and anxiety that I watch daily.

I hope some of this helps you! If you need to talk please message me.

Hi there Amanda

Thank you so much for your help.

I am taking the valium when things get really bad.

The Dr recommended I keep the seroquel up until things improve.

I have just woken up and it's the worst

Hi Amanda

Today has been another difficult day. But I saw a hypnotherapist who gave me some guidance. She said that when I feel it coming say hello to it, thanks for warning me but I'm fine.. I'm in control. I've tried it a few times today and it's very difficult.

I am just hoping that everyday will get a little easier.

Hi Jane,

I'm sorry you're having another rough day. I wish there was something I could do to help take it away. A lot of the meditation videos that I watch tell you to welcome the anxiety and say thank you and then move on but its so hard to do. It definitely takes practice. Have you tried meditation?

Hi Amanda

Sorry for the late response.

I have tried meditation but it is very difficult to get through with my daughter wanting something whenever I'm not in the room.

And then it's hard to take the lessons into the day when the anxiety is really bad
