Hi Vonnie.That "feeling on edge" is truly hateful.I get severe tension in my arms & chest.Makes me really restless.I wish you well.

Vonniexx, I know that feeling and it can be crippling, turning you into a recluse who just sits on the couch all day.  Don't be afraid to take that plunge by asking your GP for help.  I did a month ago and I already I'm finding my anxiety has dropped a lot.  I also find geting onto forums like this one and chatting to other people going through the same thing helps a lot.  This is the first forum I've joined and although I only joined it a few days ago I am already feeling much more positive about life and am starting to get back into my old hobbies.  Also, when I go and pick my daughter up from school, instead of just waiting there silently with the other parents and carers I have found myself chatting to them and instigating conversations.  I know I still have a long way to go before I'm back to my old self, but seeing my GP and getting onto medication has certainly been, for me, a big step in the right direction.

Hey Vonnie,

I get that whole "on edge" feeling alot myself. Really annoying! Kinda distances you from the world like because it's all you think about. I find exercise really helpful. Gets all that exceeds adrenaline out of your system. Since I started excercising I've basically stopped getting this sensation altogether. Anytime I do I generally take it as a sign that I've been missing too many gym days.

Hope that helps in some way!
