Severe anxiety mixed with some panic/fear.... Very hard to control right now. I hate days like this.. Thoughts get to me.. Situations get to me.. And then the anxiety begins, and it builds rapidly even though I am attempting to tell myself that it is ok.. That it will be ok.. And then it is too late.. I collapse within, and the fear sets in.. Then, the depression. Feeling alone in my world of chaos.

When afflicted with extreme anxiety or bouts of panic, I have found medication to be highly effective.

I am sensitive to it and 1/2 the initial low dose the doctor tried worked for me.

I don't know if this is a possibility for you, but if it is, I strongly recommend it.

I hope it gets better quickly.
