I'm having horrid anxiety and feelings of impending doom. Does anyone else know that feeling. There's a pit in my stomach, tightness in my throat, nervousness. I feel like I'm on pins and needles waiting for something to drop. There is no real reason behind this feeling it's just there and doesn't seem to want to go away. I'm so far holding the panic away but the anxiety is another story.

unfortunately, yes, i know that feeling. had it all day today as a matter of fact. don't know why some days are worse than others but it makes me feel hopeless & like i made no progress against the anxiety. sometimes you just have to let it burn itself out & pray you'll have a better day tomorrow. take care!

Yes, I know this feeling well, I wish I didn't. The other morning I was so wound up I felt like I drank a whole pot of coffee, agitated, upset stomach,weak legs, I hate that feeling. It's like you can't settle down. I am trying my belly breathing, also trying distraction,and relaxation CD, sometimes that helps.

Unfortunately, I, too, know that horrid feeling! I know we try our hardest to be "positive"! But I know you can get so worn down and exhausted! Hang in there! The only consolation is knowing that others understand how you feel!
My thoughts and prayers are with you!

Sheri I think that's one of my problems I ran out of the klonopin and am in the midst of playing the waiting game until they arrive. If I just had insurance things would be so much easier for me to get my meds. They should be here this week coming up so hopefully things will get better.

Jan good to see you posting must mean you're home and on the road to a speedy recovory. Duhh I never even put together it may be the lack of the klonopin that's causing my anxiety. Not having any physicial problems without it so it never crossed my mind that that could be it. How are you doing your presence was missed on the board glad you're back.

Hi there..

I too know this feeling and it is becoming a struggle just to keep it at bay. For me, i seem to get the feeling when i am alone and my thoughts start going. Like usually at the end of the day as i am trying to go to sleep. At times i get awoken in the night with the pounding heart and a scared feeling. It's kind of freaky, but deep breathing seems to help calm me down and i can usually go back to sleep. It's a little comforting knowing i am not alone as i read other posts here. Easier said than done, but try to stay positive....surround yourself with people that care about you and can take your mind off things so you can relax and enjoy what makes you happy.! Good luck :-)
