Im so scared, I dont feel like myself at all. Every little thing feels different. The anxiety is unbearable, the constant panic attacks during the day, the worst ones come at night, I have a bad headache. Its just too much for my body. I feel so alone and confined, its suffocating.

Box breathing can help. Inhale 4 seconds, 4 seconds hold, 4 seconds exhale, 4 seconds rest. Focus as much as you can on that. Give yourself permission to pause.

Anxiety attacks are like ocean waves. You can't stop them, but you can learn to ride them out. Feeling that anxiety is ok. And you aren't alone.

My thoughts are racing again. My psychiatrist thought it was a good idea to lower my Clonidine dose, I don’t know why she thought that. I feel like I’m going crazy. I can’t stop panicking or freaking out or anything. I can barely eat again :( it feels like my nightmare from a few months ago when I first got bad is happening all over again. I feel so scared. My brain won’t shut up or stop thinking about what to freak out about next. I feel like I’m on fire, my skin is hot to the touch when I spiral. I can’t stop spiraling

Lately I just feel like I’m on the verge of losing it and I don’t know why. I feel so uncomfortable in my own body. Physically and mentally. Not due to insecurity but just that something isn’t right… I never feel good, I’m always fatigued, my head hurts all the time, but my blood work comes back fine so doctor’s will do nothing. I have anxiety and panic attacks and recently I guess depression since I’m always down. I have relationship OCD so my partner deals with me not being sure of him constantly and it breaks my heart. I don’t want to leave him because he’s great but half the time my brain is telling me he isn’t the one. I keep counting as well, constantly counting every letter in every word and every word in every sentence… it just feels like I’m gonna go insane one of these days and I’m scared. When I talk to someone about this, they have no clue what to tell me or how to help. Am I alone in feeling this way??
