Anxiety is killing me

6

I’m on day 4 and the Anxiety was pretty bad the first 3 days, today it has lessened a little which I’m very thankful for. I made an appointment with a psychiatrist so I can get back on meds, I’m not sure if that’s your thing or not but it’s helped me in the past.

I get physical anxiety like a racing heart, palpitations, clammy feeling, hot flashes, panic feeling in my chest as well as mental anxiety which consists mostly of catastrophic thinking and ruminating negative thoughts.

I try to do things to calm my body and distract my mind.

One day at a time.

I am in the same boat as you, im on day one too and I actually had to leave work because my anxiety was so bad and I was shaking like crazy, im still shaking like crazy. I called my doctor and she prescribed me some meds to help with the anxiety. Maybe you could reach out to your doctor. Goodluck I hope it gets easier like everyone says cuz this sucks!!
