Relentless anxiety!!

Post Reply New Topic

I need advice. I have been having relentless anxiety attacks. I feel like my brain is a freight train going full speed ripping through downtown new york city without breaking a sweat. I am twitching like Tweek from South Park. I do not drink coffee or take in any caffeine, but I can't shut my mind off. I jump at the slightest noise. I CAN'T STOP PACING. Sometimes I can calm myself down enough to stop pacing, but I can't stop pacing. I can't stop moving. I am diagnosed with ADHD and have always been hyperactive and have always needed to stay in motion to feel comfortable, but this has gotten out of hand. There is no relief. There is no stopping it. And, in the midst of all of this, my hypochondria starts coming back out. I start freaking out at the slightest smell, thinking that a noxious chemical has been loosed in my room. I put my hand on my knife, intent that one of the people in the car across the street is after my life. I can't focus on anything. There's no relief in sight. AHHHH. I have thought about checking myself into the hospital just to see if they would give me some klonopin or something. I am trying to get an outside job with a local lawncare company, as this type of job would be the perfect outlet for my anxiety. BUT I need some help getting by until I actually get the job. Meditation helps some, but try meditating for long periods of time when you are adhd and have the attention span of a amoeba. And of course depression is wrapped up in with the anxiety, so while I am having these terrible urges to find relief, I have no motivation to do anything. At all. AHHHHH. Someone give me ideas plz.

The emergency room is a good idea. I have panic attacks too, but I don't think their nearly as bad as yours.

If you have money or health insurance, then google "immediate care clinic" or go to your doctor.

Are you sleeping/ can you sleep?

Thanks for the advice! I will get an appointment with my doctor and get all of that blood work done.

For some people changes in sleep patterns can amplify/ cause incressed depression and anxiety.

I would love to go to an immediate care clinic right now, but I have no money, no insurance, and I live in a small town that probably doesn't even know that immediate care clinics even exist. The only thing out here is the regular old emergency room, and I can't go there because I can't afford the bill. I am so anxious right now!! Arrgg. It is a torrential wave of anxiety the size of an ocean that won't stop running me over. I just want relief. I want to go to the emergency room, but if I can wait a week, I can get in to see my doctor at the income-based clinic. Maybe I'll go sit in his office tomorrow and wait for an opening in the time slots. I can't sleep Gosh, what I would do for a klonopin or ativan right now.

If the towns small enough go it to he back yard put on you head phones and count stars. I find it relaxing even when every thing elts has gone to pots.

Exercise may or may not help. Sounds like there's a multitude of sensory issue complications. I guess try googling specific sensory issues and maybe you can find various things you can try. This is a hard one to tackle as each person reacts differently individually. I wish I knew more about this.
