Anxiety and panic attacks

[Charleebird]

Does anyone else suffer with this "odd" feeling. Constant fear that somethings going to happen? I have constant butterflies, cry all the time, i cant concentrate i feel really odd and its been happening since last tuesday. I was on propranalol and fluoxetine but my doc told me to come off the fluoxetine as i could be having side effects (i have been on them for about 3 years)

I am constantly thinking maybe i have some illness even thou i have seen many doctors who have all told me its anxiety. Why have i suddenly gone like this? I feel so alone. I feel nervous and dizzy. Not hungry anymore and just cant relax. I have been pescribed another anti depressant and tonight i will start taking them.

Oh poor you xx that's awful. Please stay strong. I used to be convinced i had HIV but wouldn't go for a test! That's mental isn't it? I used to get really scared of everything when I was due on and these thoughts about my ex boss have got worse with my hormones. Hormones have a lot to do with this stuff!

Yeah they sure do. I never had anxiety at all until I had my first DS, but I would give DS up for the world! They are brilliant little distractions

I am hoping to get some counselling, but it's a six week wait just to see CPN. I'm at GP on Wednesday and am hoping she will b able to recommend someone privately!

I have more blood tests tomorrow...

Thanks for listening to me tonight!! X x

No worries u have put up with my wittering Hun! And it's nice to help someone else tbh. I'm starting to realise how stupid I've been but who knows how I'll feel tomorrow. I know that I have been an attention seeker and a flirt when drunk but have never had sex with anyone in 10 years except for my DP so I can't see why I'm worrying. U have got through your illness and you are ok now. I was convinced I couldn't have kids and I've had s brilliant pregnancy apart from the hormones so we are both lucky. We both have amazing DPs too- we have a lot to be happy about!. I'm seeing an obstetrician tomorrow for a check up. Good luck to you for tomorrow. Let me know how u get on xxx

Ur right Lisa we do have a lot to b thankful for

Hope you sleep well and feel better tomorrow!

I'll let you know how it goes and will hear how you get on too x x

Hope everyone else is okay! X x

It doesn't tell u this in what to expect when youre expecting do they?!

I didn't have anxiety until my DS either. Its definitely the hormones. This website looks cheap and crap but its message is a good one. Have a read and let me know what you think.

Hi how is everyone? I'm feeling more confident today I'm worrying about nothing but remembered that I once slapped my fiancé in a casino and dont remember it so I've become convinced again! Aarrrggghhh!!!!! Also if nothing happened why did I wonder if it did pretty much from the next day and the worry has manifested itself even more. I was acting weird with my boss after thinking does he think its his baby? Why would I be like that if there was an underlying truth

Although that same night I slapped him we had a row because he was pretty horrible to me all night before that and I got in a taxi with another guy. He asked me back to his but I said no and next day worried I'd done something by realised I hadn't so god knows

Lisa please see your MW and explain things and let her put your mind at rest x

I'm not worried about the paternity. I'm just worried about what I could've done. Oh I don't know why I'm worried actually!

I think I'm just scared of doing the worst when out of control and want to feel better about myself

Morning ladies, how are you all? Anxiety is still flooring me I had a really bad sleep last night too so that doesn't help!

No Lisa they don't tell you the crappy parts, lol!

I'll have a look at that website little puds!

If you're not worried about paternity I would have a conversation with your boss. Something like 'I know this is so silly but you don't happen to remember what happened to me that night as I been worried about how I got home!'. I'm sure he'll say he slung you in a taxi and that was that. I've had lots of nights out when I've worried for days afterwards about 'not remembering' certain bits of it, particularly the taxi bit. The reason you don't remember it is because it's entirely uneventful. Believe me, if something bad had have happened you'd hav soon sobered up.

My DP says I will be embarrassing myself if I talk to him

Not in a 'meeting' way - just in an off the cuff way. Honestly though, if something happened you'd remember.

I agree Lisa if something happen I think you would remember! X x

I called him which was mortifying but he just said I tried to kiss him then instantly felt stupid. I'm really annoyed with myself for not trusting myself and believing I wouldn't have done anything and now I have to trust what he says. Although I said to him I didn't think we had I just needed confirmation.

How do you feel now that you have called him? X x

Well at least 'tried to kiss him' isn't 'kissed him' or something worse!

Little puds I had a look at that website...very helpful. I have been walking around the offices saying to myself "f*ing bring it on anxiety" lol! I feel a little calmer than I did this morning!

I feel better but really annoyed with myself for getting in such a state I had to ask him. Especially when I will need a ref off him and have to trust he won't tell anyone. And I shouldn't have to ask anyone what I did with them because it cheapens my relationship with my DP. On the other hand my DP now knows nothing happened and I don't think he thinks I do although he never did. I just know I never want to be in this situation again but the worry was ruining my life so I feel I had no choice. Now I just feel a bit worried what he thinks of me but he's assured me he understands. I told him the hormones have taken over so I suppose I just have to live with it.

Lisa just be happy is out to rest now as I know you've been so worried. Try not to go onto the next worry, although I know it's hard when you suffer anxiety. At least you can't drink now you're preggers! Believe me, after the baby arrives you won't have the opportunity to get in any kind of 'states' for a loooooooooooong time!

Yommy - it's good isn't it! It looks a bit naff and rubbish but the sentiment is so, so true. Bring it on! X

Something I thought I'd said to him he said he didn't remember me saying so now I have this little voice saying what if he's lying because he thinks he will get into trouble or he thinks the baby is something to do with him but I must have said I was already pregnant a thousand times so I know I'm being paranoid. I don't remember trying to kiss him though!
