how to cope with crippling anxiety.. suffocating..
hi bluelight- i dont post often here but i read quite alot. i need someone to talk to that can relate to what i've been feeling for the past few months. and it only seems to get worse and worse. i've been dealing with crippling anxiety, and its not the head anxiety- its not the worry, or the headfuck that anxiety will give you; i can deal with that and have my whole life. but for the past 3 months or so, almost all day.. i feel like i cant catch my breath. im short of breath and no matter how hard i breathe or what i do; i cant fucking breath!! i feel like im going insane- or im about to crawl out of my own skin. i talked to my family doc and he gave me some valiums, and those dont even seem to work. i was refered to a therapist; and i tell her whats going on- but she doesnt even seem to know what to do- she told me to read this book on anxiety--- and shes just a therapist so she tells me to go to my family doc to get medications. i know i need a psychiatrist appointment but i cant get one untill the 23rd. i feel like im gonna crawl out of my skin. i have been running alot- some times i go run a mile it helps my breathing get back into sync for a bit. im feeliing the effects of my anxiety right now and its making this hard to type.. i feel distant and breathing is difficult..im panicking.. so im gonna take a break from typing this for a while. i will finish later. ok... i wrote down a couple symptoms of my anxiety while i was sitting down on the couch, this might be a bit redundant
Cant get out of my head, the worst is the shortness of breath, feel like im suffocating. Feel like im going insane. Can never rest my mind. Cant sit down and relax. My mind clouds and I cant concentrate or think right. I have been treated for it before, and thought it got better but it seems like its coming back in full force, I had to get to the doctor its getting that bad. It feels like I cant get enough air and when I think about it I feel like crawling out of my own skin or going crazy like I want to run a mile right then and there, but if I did I don’t think it would help. Sometimes feels like throat is closing up, or that there is something stuck to the back of my throat that I cant get away. I feel like it keeps getting worse. Its happening more and more every day.. what I call breathlessness attacks are constant, I cant get enough air and it makes me frusterated and feel almost crazy. I find myself staring off into space for minutes at a time unable to concentrate on anything. My friends sometimes comment that I look zombied out like totally entranced looking off into the distance. Even writing this to you, thinking about my anxiety, its bringing on an attack, hot flashes, I cant breathe.
