Omg sounds like me that does I've had bad anxiety since I was a kid I'm 28 now but since last September I started having panic attacks and anxiousness my panic attacks have gone now tho but still having severe anxiousness I've bin on fluoxetine for 8 weeks now I went to getting better to start feeling worse again chest pains the lot but I do that every time I hear something on the news about a killing or read the paper about burglaries and stuff like that I presume it's gonna happen to me then I start feeling 10x worse in myself and start to get all paranoid in the streets and stuff it's natural with anxiety makes you think all sorts take the medication please try and see if it helps and if doesn't go and see a psychiatric they will put you on the right meds

Exactly the same . These obsessive thoughts drive me mad. I f they would stop andcracing heartvim sure it would be more way to cope with. Perhaps you just got too used to meds . If do your doc is good like mine I would trust him to try these new ones( don't worry if don't kick in straight away) if you feel worse tell him. It's all hit and miss getting right ones , everyone's different . Only take mine when heart racing and shaking too much, have learned over years won't help if I take all time. I always convince myself I'm worse than everyone else and can't be helped( rubbish) keep posting it helps to see your not alone??

Yea they have rushed a psychiatric appointment on Monday for me to talk about my meds and they testing me for ADHD and personality disorder and autism but past few days now I've had really bad chest pains which makes me feel more anxious winds me up it does coz it did go away now it's come back again.. but I've got to be on meds for rest of my life as my anxiety keeps coming back all the time so I have to stick to the same one but I'm away on holiday in 4 weeks so I don't really want to up my dose and have side effects bad whilst I'm on holiday

Keep your appointments, I'm on meds probably always will be but great doctor only perscribes enough for when really anxious . Have learned not to take too many. Won't work when really need and don't want to rely , lwouldnt up your meds but hope you can have great holiday , justctakecif really bad. I've learned I won't get better just with pills , hopefully on hols your mind will be taken off symptoms as your doing different stuff. ( know it's easier said than done but try to tell yourself you can do this) it's easier to be negative , believe me l know. Let us know how you get on. Always here??
