Hi I have been suffering with anxiety since January most of it focuses on my heart I always think something is wrong by and in going to collapse. Anyway I have been dealing with it a lot better for past week but even on days I feel good I can't stop myself thinking when will I feel bad again and it kind of ruins it for me. Does anyone else do this it's as tho I have gotten so used to feeling worried and all sorts of symptoms that I don't know how to deal with feeling normal

    Its always in the back of my mind when Im feeling good that an attack is going to come on,its a vicious cycle

    Im hoping when I eventually get CBT and with new meds that will help.

    I think we have to learn how to deal with it to have a better life and not live in fear

    Stay Strongcool

    Anticipatory anxiety. Like a no win sitatuion isnt it. Forget trying to plot and plan what happens or could happen. If you feel good go with it. At least this way you get to make happy memories and it will carry you through all this anxiety ups and downs. After acquiring this disorder i think it is safe to say your normal self is no longer a play in this. You will get a new normal. And hopefully one day when someone figures this all out for real we will all be happy and "normal" again. Or better then normal because everyone of us has a huge sense of understanding and being compassionate and empathetic compared to those who never had anything.

      That will stop you know. Your going to tired of it all and come to the conclusion when you are not having an anxiety do everything that makes you feel happy. Took me a very long time to realize that myself.
