I have been awake for the last few hours having a anxiety attack. I had a bad dream and now I have crippling anxiety. I haven't felt like this for a while and I had been doing so well, I cope and get through every day until this morning. I don't know what to do, I can't believe I will have to feel like this for the rest of my life, every time I think it's going away and I am managing it well I set myself back and now I feel so ill I can't cope. I feel like I have the shits, and I need to be sick, and I have to start getting ready for work in a minute. Work are not aware of my anxiety at the moment as it hasn't affected my work life yet. Wibu to call in sick saying I have the shits but not why? I don't know what to do. I hate feeling this

Your all being fabulous, I can't read all your messages properly as I don't want to burst into tears at my desk 😂 but thankyou all for your help. Sometimes everything is just shit.

Longtime anxiety sufferer here. I take 30 mg. of duloxetine daily (called Cymbalta on-brand) and it helps an awful lot.

There's a great book called The Worry Trick.

Can your GP refer you for counselling or stress management classes etc?
