I'm so sorry you are feeling like this right now. Believe me, we have all been there. I would say that your recent illness has a lot to do with how you are feeling. I know that when I am sick at all (even just allergies) my anxiety goes up. When you are really sick you start thinking about getting sicker or worse and obsessing just comes so naturally to us anxiety prone people. I think that the deviation from your normal routine (being sick, missing appts., and missing other important activities) has a huge affect. We are creatures of habit. A few nights ago I forgot to put my Pink Floyd music on as I tried to go to sleep and had an enormous panic attack. Just that simple thing of having music on helps my brain relax in ways I didn't even realize. Things will get back on track for you and I think that the meds will start to kick in. Don't worry about the meds though. They can always be adjusted. Your doc and you can decide what's best on your next appt. I think that the fact it's a week and a half away is good. By then you will be well over your illness and will be able to tell if you need to possibly kick them up some more. Obsessing and what-ifing go with this territory. Don't get so down on yourself for doing those things. Try your hardest to be rational. I know it's hard when you have children to worry about in addition to yourself. In my own personal situation I know that I have never passed out and I don't vomit unless violently sick so when I start thinking those things I am able to rationalize with myself about the mere chance of those things happening. I don't know if that helps but try personalizing it to your unique circumstances. Just remember you are not alone. We know what you are going through and we're here for you.
Hugs and HTH

(((Jennifer))) I think you should utilize the xanax while you transition with the celexa dose.

I hope you start to feel better.
I m sure it has to do with being sick. Whenever I get sick especially stomach, vomiting, diarrhea, I am horrible. I honestly think I am going to die, and I get horrible anxiety, ten times of what I would normally feel. Try to relax, yeah right, I know.
Is it possible that you were vomiting and the med was coming up? Even though I really think it is just the being sick, and not in a routine. That can definitely spike up panic and anxiety. If you can why not try taking a walk with some music on (headphones) that sometimes helps me. If you feel up to it why not try cleaning your shower, I think that is what you told me you did when your breathing was bothering you;)
I really hope you start to feel better.
You will be in my prayers.

I know that I'm going to come off as a meanie, but someone has too. You keep asking for help, so here's the help. Do something! Keep yourself busy. Quit missing all these things that are important to you, Jennifer. Once you begin to cross that line, it will get easier & easier to to miss things. You will be posting next week that you just didn't feel up to going for your med check. Please don't allow this to happen.
Make a couple dates with family or friends. Just go for coffee or have them in for lunch. Go to a movie. I have found that if I promise someone I will do something, I do not want to let them down. I will carry through rather than disappoint them. You will find that once you get moving, you will be pleasantly diverted. Getting stagnated is a real problem. Remember that old theory. A body @ rest stays @ rest. A body in motion tends to stay in motion. Something like that): I'm the one with Old Timers, so pardon me. LOL Anyway, steer clear of inertia. It is deadly!
As for the
thanks everyone for all your help and support.

Being sick and being on that time of month can be a huge factor of why your feeling so bad. Any time my body did any thing different then every day things it would trigger attacks. All so during your period your hormones drop which can cause a increase in anxiety. The good news is you sound like the kind of person that is really "in your body" This can all so be a curse LOL People who suffer from panic have a tendency of being very sensitive to changes in their body. Just remember to listen to what you are saying to your self. I feel sick, my body doesn't feel right there must be some thing wrong. My therapist really helped me change those thoughts.... I use to be the queen of webmd :)
Hope you feel better soon, hang in there (((HUGS))))!!!!!!!
(((Jennifer))) I'm glad you took the xanax.
