Anxiety issue

Hi all,

I took abit of convincing myself to join the forums and write in here but just wanted some advice.

in the past two weeks, I have had anxiety spiralling out of control, I am unable to concentrate at work or at home, I continually think of the worst case scenario in anything, I wake up in the middle of the night having panic attacks (heart racing, in shaking, heavy breathing) I haven't slept more than 4 hours each night and during the day I am in a constant stressed state that by 2 pm I am tired as can be, I hate being alone, if I'm driving I feel the need to call someone just so I can get my mind off my anxiety and contanst worry feelings. I have lost my appetite, eating maybe one meal a day simply because I cannot eat. I have tried natural over the counter medicine to try and alleviate the anxiety and calm me down but they don't work.... Does this sound like GAD and should I see a doctor about medication?

thank you in advance for your replies.

Jay

Hi Jay,

Just want to wish you a safe and happy Easter. I do miss you and hope, always, that you are ok. Your absence from the forums worries me as I feel you may be struggling on your own and not reaching out. You don't need to go through this alone, we are here to help and support you.

Thinking of you

When you're in a dark place, you sometimes tend to think you've been buried.

Perhaps you've been planted.

Hi CMF,

Thank you for all your posts above, your continuous reaching out is special. If you recall a few months back I signed up to do a personal development course and I am completing that this week and will be back on forums to explain a lot of stuff that has happened since my absence on the forums. I am doing ok finally and I think you will be happy with what I have to say. I just wanted to reach out quickly to let you know I am ok.

My best,

Jay
