Hi everyone,

I am trying desperatly to get myself out of this week long anxiety attack. My latest and greatest :0 (atleast I can poke fun at myself!) worry is that I am annoying everyone, and I am getting scared to call people because I think they are irratated or annoyed with me. I don't know what i've done, but I have convinced myself that nobody wants to be my friend. I am driving myself crazy, because if I call, then I am searching for clues that they don't want to talk to me, and if I don't call, I'm upset that nobody is calling me. UGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!

Tell me how to make it stop!

Thanks for listening.

First of all, here I am telling you that it will get better snd that everyone here truly cares and it here for you :)

What kind of coping mechanisms are you using right now? Have you tried relaxation, taking a walk...do you have meds for severe anxiety attacks? Do you see a therapist and have you called him/her even if it's between visits?

Let us know what techniques you've been using...maybe someone's got a new trick up their sleeve you haven't tried yet :)

Jlvst, do you have a very good friend that knows about and understands your anxiety? When I no longer feel I can take it I call my friend and she nevers minds, she always listens and she always gives me the support and encouragement that I'm in need of. If you have a friend like mine call her all you need and if she's a real caring friend she won't mind, in fact she's more likely to be mad if you don't.
