So nice to see a community that I can connect to and be a part of. I feel so alone in this horrid anxiety. I have been battling it my whole life but it has gotten worse this year with me challenging my crippling fear of flying so that I can take my children overseas. I feel sick every day and hate waking up in the morning because sleep is the only relief I get from my anxiety. I am on medication and I practice my breathing all the time but nothing seems to work at the moment. Just wish I could be free of it.</P> Thu, 14 Dec 2017 23:37:23 GMT https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/welcome-and-orientation/new-and-wanted-to-say-hi/m-p/304012#M14841 Frantic1 2017-12-14T23:37:23Z https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/welcome-and-orientation/new-and-wanted-to-say-hi/m-p/304013#M14842 <P>Hi Frantic and welcome </P> <P>If you've been on the same medication for years maybe talk to your doctor. </P> <P>I know with my anxiety and depression one of the warning signs for me is I get really hot at the back of my skull and start sweating there.

I have been on the same mess for years and recently changed to a new one (about 2 months ago). I have had to go back to my GP today as the anxiety is out of control. She has now referred me to a psychiatrist. I will be going back to my psychologist asap. </P> <P> </P> <P>Frantic1</P> <P> </P> Fri, 15 Dec 2017 08:28:40 GMT https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/welcome-and-orientation/new-and-wanted-to-say-hi/m-p/304014#M14843 Frantic1 2017-12-15T08:28:40Z
