Hi Jimmy,
I know how you are feeling I had anxiety attacks for 2 years before I actually seeked help to find out what was wrong...I have the crying spells & get iritable real easy also..I have been seeing a COGNITIVE therapist once a month & she has shown me how to redirect my thought process when the panic attacks rear their ugly head..The people around me they are supportive but they dont know how intense they are ..I think it bothers them somethimes because they dont know what to do to help..If you need someone to talk to write me back..Until then take care

: 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.
