Just diagnosed with Anxiety Attack

Posted by Jimmy on 3/20/2004, 9:13 pm

Hi..
I'm a 26 yr old male from North Texas, and I was diagnosed on Friday March 20 with anxiety. I have heard of this before, however I do not know anything about it other than what I Just read online today.
Yesterday I was so sick throwing up, headache, and when I read the symptoms of anxiety, I felt as if it was written about me. I have been so stressed because of my job, I feel like I'm going crazy, I'm always afraid I'm going to develop cancer that my father passwed away with 5 years ago, I have had ultrasounds, xrays, and bloodwork done. Everything is normal. Only things that need attention physically is my cholestrol and blood pressure. However those are just barly over the limit. Everything else is okay.
When I feel stress coming on, I either lash out in anger, get very angry, or I start crying like a baby. I was diagnosed with depression four years ago, so I've been blowing my symptoms off as depression. In the last couple of months I have been to the doctor more than I have in years. I've been to my doctor about four times, and to the emergency room twice since Jan 1.
After going to the doctor yesterday and discussing with him about my feelings. Now that I think about it, the troubles I have been having does not feel the same as the symptoms I had when I was having problems with depression.
I thought I would look into the support groups, because my emotions I really feel are just completely out of control. Even now, I still feel like I will go crazy and will eventually be carried out in a straight jacket. I still feel like my nerves are still on the edge, either I can lash out in anger or just start crying.
This is my experience this week.
