Sudden horrific anxiety

[Phyllis321]

For the last 4 days I’ve plunged into complete panic. I am wound like a spring, can barely eat or sleep. Had to contact the weekend GP yesterday for some Diazapam so I could get a little relief from the stress.
I am really scared that I can’t work like this and will have to be signed off.
Has anyone experienced anything similar? It’s like the world has just crashed on my head.

desert,

What do you take a tablet (what mcg) or a spray.

I may try this. Mornings are HELL.

I am the same. Spent the last two weeks on high alert and it is hideous, can Brant adrenaline and poor sleep. More exercise impossible with work and school balance atm. It does help, I do what I can. Contemplating ringing GP. Took ADs years ago and not keen again but cannot continue feeling like this.

Hi, OP. I've been where you are. It's horrendous, but I promise you, it will pass. You will absolutely not feel this way forever. Try some slow breathing. Regulating your breath really will help. I know everything feels like such a chore right now, but you will get there. Xx

Also stop googling it fuels the fire! I know it's easier said than done. X

Thanks everyone. I calmed down about 2 hours ago after a dreadful day of crushing anxiety. I don’t know why I calmed down, just like I don’t know why I’m so anxious

@TwentyTwentyOne I take over the counter magnesium 400mg when I want to go to sleep .. it doesn't work like a sleeping tablet .. doesn't make you wake up groggy and you can get it I've the counter .. but honestly it's been life changing .. magnesium supports over 90 diff body functions and reducing anxiety is of them .. I take it just before I go to sleep because it makes me drop off straight away ..

Over the counter not I've* xx
