Best wishes and get a lot of rest/bath to feel better hopefully. Lexapro has helped me with pervasive anxiety but it takes about 2 months to really work. I hope your anxiety is mitigated easily

I wonder if you ever tried Buspar. I'm thinking about starting taking it. The reviews look very interesting.

It's not your right to say what I can or can't say.

I totally understand because I have been there. I also have lived long enough (finally) to see that things do change with time. So while it feels like a permanent problem, it rarely is. I am NOT trying to put you down, or put down people who feel suicidal. It is horrible and terrible. It can stay "in s**t" for a long time. And that is genuinely discouraging. I am truly sorry if I am not expressing my thoughts properly.

I love my life, but I have been so anxious lately that my head is pounding and I feel my blood pressure is shooting through the roof. Sometimes, it makes me wonder if I'm going to make it through the day. It is the anniversary of a very tough day in my life, one that could have made me lose everything. I don't want to do any out of the ordinary driving for fear of getting lost. I will feel better once I get over the hump of this day.

This still happens to me, from time to time. I had gone a very long period without this level of symptoms and then this past fall had a quite long stretch of the heart palpitations, shortness of breath and pulse pounding in my head and chest. I wondered if I am going to make it through my day. I credit Hurricane Irma and the death of my sister (and unfortunate interactions with toxic family members as a consequence) as the source. I had to quit all caffeine and still can't drink coffee without getting a return of symptoms. It is scary.

The number of reported incidents similar to what auntblabby reports are substantial. Most hospice practitioners realize this can often be a part of the dying process. Sometimes not. Studies have been done of "near death" experiences that reveal we (ie, western cultures) don't have all the answers. The wonder of what exactly life is and what leaves when death occurs is fascinating. I have found discounting others' experiences to be unproductive.

My physical health is still crumbling, I haven't got any welfare support and can't get any decent job, have no girlfriend and no home, and nobody gives a s**t about my problems. But I'm still struggling.
