    Hi Steph, I woke up with tightness in my breath and short of breath. The most annoying part is some days I feel like the meds are working so well and that I'm finally going to be free of the horrific anxiety. Then there are days like today when I woke up 4 am shakey and with a tight chest and couldn't catch my breath. I am so fearful and hate these mornings, I still have to get up , smile and get the kids out and Go to work. It's so so painful , I will never stop the meds because my biggest fear is being curled up in fetal position crying and not wanting to deal anymore. Work gives me some moments of good since i have to cope in my setting . Just venting and appreciate everyone here . Wish I knew what we were eating differently from years ago. Was anxiety such a huge problem then? I don't know just so pained about this

    Same here...and the fact that I used to be a nurse ( and have some decent medical knowledge + some terrifying experiences) does not help at all. 

    Yesterday had my first proper panic attack. Scared myself and scared the sh*t out of my partner, as he takes me very seriously. We were watching tv. And suddenly I just felt something is NOT RIGHT. Next thing I know I was hyperventilating, my pulse was racing up to 90 ( usual 60 for me), blurry vision, very very scary. Opened a window as I needed some air..The whole experience lasted about 4 minutes, but was terrifying. Never happened before, but I had too much stress recently and I am starting to get worrien about my mental health.

      sitting at my desk and reading the posts.  I have never felt anyone really understands or feels the same way. I cant believe how many people have anxiety and have similiar symptoms. Sometimes I just blank out at work and feel so numb and sometimes my heart beats so fast I cant catch my breath.

      Hey guys. It is actually incredible how many people feel the same way, and can't cope.

      I guess this is a great place to share experience.

      Just wanted to let you know that there is hope and there is light at the end of this tunnel! With the right treatment you will be able to lose most if not all of the anxiety after 2-3 months.

      I can describe how I handled it and what medication I took with details if you guys would like that. Let me know cuz it would be a LONG post.
