man,i am going through the same thing you went through.i been through it going on 4 weeks .it started on my job,it ended like i have breathing problems.but it was my mind.i went to my doctor.he put me on perox.this is my second day on perox.im am starting to feel a little bit of a difference.i am bout to be back in effect again.doing things i use to do.i am starting to think positive of my self.
Today was not as good of a day as I might have hoped. But yeah, I'm OK, and just need to keep doing what I've been doing. I have to remind myself that sometimes.
stop thinking there is something wrong when you know you are ok really, keep up what you are doing you're doing really well by the sounds of it.
Thanks for your comments. Up until about six weeks ago, I never once had any anxiety that I was aware of - no chest pains, no sleep problems, no breathing problems. It just hit me like a ton of bricks. Because of this, I'm optimistic it will all go away, and if it tries to come back I know how to handle it.
Did you take any medications? How did you deal with your anxiety?
I believe anxiety can definitely ebb and flow. I went through a period of years without any major flare ups. I believe that recognizing the patterns and how anxiety affects you can go a long way in dealing with it. Also, in my experience with this, I also believe that it is important not to focus on the bad days. There are setbacks, but just remember what is working for you. Keep us posted!
