Does anyone else have anxiety so bad that it is making them ill.?  I'm a senior citizen.  things have gotten so out of hand at home with my family that I always feel like I'm not good enough or doing something wrong.  I feel like my one daughter has thrown me in the garbage.  We always had been so close and now I never hear from her.  Theres a gnawing in the chest.  Cardio guy says I'm ok.  But I'm always just so scared and worried!

I've had anxiety attacks before, & managed to get control with breathing exercises. Until about a half an hour ago. It was so bad I became nauseous & was drenched in sweat. I've been without zoloft now for nearly two weeks because my doctor hasn't authorized the refill (story for another time). I just sat & cried until my body calmed down. Also took this OTC from Nature's Bounty called Anxiety & Stress Relief. Now I'm really tired.

My anxiety, makes my migraines worsen, and more frequent. It also holds me back from my goals. Anxiety causes heart palpitations, high BP and high Blood Sugar. So, yes, it causes many problems in my life, but I'm learning to deal with it with meds, therapy and mindfulness. I want badly to stop my anxiety but it's often mixed with depression at the same time. This is very hard to deal with and I have days where I accomplish nothing but survival, caring for my disabled daughter and my 2 dogs. That alone is exhausting.

I totally understand about the anxiety. I've had a bad week.  First I got let go of my job due to cut backs.  Then I couldn't go to Thanksgiving at my son's house which really caused me problems.  I was really in a low place.  Then I got phished into thinking I got a job.  I got the shakes and I am really depressed.  The anxiety gives me trouble breathing and makes me shake a lot.  Thank God I've got meds for it. I just hate taking them. I usually have my depression under control with meds but nothing seems to be helping.

I feel better when I get out but I never feel like getting dressed and doing hair and makeup. I have a heavy pit in my stomach and feel like I've lost my best friend. Actually I have lost two and I'm scared because my husband has B-Cell Lymphoma , through Agent Orange ....I want to die first. He is doing good but every Dr appointment makes me anxious and scared. God is the only way I've made it these last two years. I have no life without him. I've been with him since I was 17. My mother is 88 and lives with my sister, two miles from me but they only need me when they need something. They're depressed to so I understand. I feel like I'm not needed anymore... My pets love me and get excited to see me at least. It seems as if my life has flown by the last 20 years...my antidepressant doesn't work...I've tried them all it seems. I'm sorry you all are suffering. God help us all.
