feeling crazy!
| Thu, 12-28-2006 - 12:37pm |
Hi everyone. I have been reading everyone's e-mail just trying to see if anyone is feeling like I do and you are. I have been on Lexapro and Wellbutrin for about 6 months now and I have been feeling okay. My husband lost his job and we have a 3 year old daughter and I was a stay at home mom and now I am working full time. I guess I have been handling everything well because it has been about 2 months and my anxiety is just kicking in! I think I have been concentrating on taking care of getting health insurance, working and balancing everything and never took time to really analyze what has happened. I am subconsciously worrying and it is now coming through. I have been nauseous and have had stomaches for the past week. I keep having to go to the bathroom. I was even shivering one day. It is making me crazy. I feel like I can't calm down. My mind is like a hampster running on a wheel! It won't stop. Although I did try those breathing exercises yesterday and it worked. I just wanted to vent and talk to people who understand. If anyone has any advice please let me know. Thanks all!

Hello & welcome to our caring community. You are NOT alone.
I think I will chat tonight. That sounds interesting. I am definitely going to take your advice. Do you have any info. on diet tips as far as what aggravates the panic attacks?
It is so strange to know that other people feel this way, a lot of times I feel so alone because my husband and other immediate family don't have this. It does however run in my family. I just wish I could be "Normal" whatever that is!
I appreciate the support, I guess this is just delayed stress. How do I get to the chat room tonight?
I bumped up the chat post. Please read it & click on the link @ the bottom of the post. It's from 9 to 11pm EST. We'll save ya a seat;)
Maybe this anti-anxiety diet on iVillage can help: http://health.ivillage.com/mentalhealth/mhanxiety/0,,hld9,00.html
Hi Isabella,
My DD is 3 too! We are all home for holiday break for a few weeks and driving each other crazy. LOL
Sounds like you are handling things well. I have anxiety too & relate to much of what you described, especially the spinning thoughts. Glad to hear from you! Welcome! This is a friendly group, so come by to talk or vent anytime.
Smiles,
Dee
