Gina, I am so sorry about everything -- but hang in there....you should speak with your doctor and go from there...I know how oyou feel when the anxiety just consumes you...and feel like you have no where to turn, but remember that God is with you every step of the way...you are such a strong and amazing person and you have helped so many of us...I also think that I will not wake up in the morning -- maybe it's something I ate, what I thought, or some illness...but we do wake up every morning, don;t we? Gina, I hope I can speak with you online....I will be logged on all day.... Have faith and do what you feel is needed....you have to start thinking of yourself...how old is your daughter? Talk to your daughter heart to heart and how you are feeling...I look at my mother and she truly is my best friend.... Sending you hugs, B

Hi Gina, I am with you tonight girl! It's 130 am and I'm so tired but when I start to fall asleep I wake up with a jump, like i'm really startled. I feel it in my heart and the pit of my stomach so I decided I may as well get up and go back to bed when I can't keep my eyes open anymore. I have taken a xanax which is normally my miracle worker but otnight it's not even touching it. My husband woke up screaming the other night and it startled me so bad that the rest of this week has been a nightmare. I am so much more anxious than normal. It's weird how something like that can mess me up for so long. Does anyone else have a very, very sensitive startle reflex. Mine is so sensitive and annoying. I hope you have finally fallen asleep Gina- I think I'll be awake for a bit longer :( I really don't know why we have to suffer in such a cruel way. It's tough having an illness that so few understand. Good night

Gina i wish I could help you more,i dont know why we are like this,and why we suffer..I see you,debbi,and me are always sick..we ARE gOD LOVING PEOPLE AND LOTS ON tHE board suffer from feeling ill also..I dont have anwser,but a prayer,and a chitown hug i will give..Your on my mind sis,and i hope you turn out of this funk,as you read im sure im in one to..I will help however you think i can friend..By the way it was stated already a Mental Hospital wont deal with anxiety you dont need to go there..Its like you can find a comfort zone i call it from a pil,or a bath,or sleep or talking sometimes its so strong nothing works i fear that..The what ifs suck to because i can never tell ehen im sick,or its my anxiety causing it..I wish i knew.. Outlaw P.s i will be able to im all day sunday?

Anxiety is so difficult to deal with. One minute you catch a glimpse of the light at the end of the tunnel and the next you are deep in the darkness. Gina as I read your post I thought of my own stuggles this week. I thought about how disappointed I was in myself for feeling the way I do. I frequently wonder if this nightmare is ever going to end. I wish I could give you encouring words to make you feel better. I know how difficult it can be when you can't sleep and how worse it makes your body feel. Try to get some rest. I had a tooth removed one time. It was so painful. My entire mouth hurt. The dentist said that was normal because I was in so much pain. I hope and pray that you will be feeling better soon. Everyone says it will get better. I guess its up to us to have faith in that. Take Care

Gina I hope the Xanax kicks in, can you take a 1/2 of another one, I dont know what you dose is perhaps just a tiny bit more will do the trick, I fully understand your pain, I can almost feel it in my heart and I wish I could hug you, I have an idea can you curl up and cuddle up with your little girl? I think her warmth and the love you feel with her will calm you down, I did that one time with my son and he yelled "Your snoring Mom get out" I thought that would make you smile, try to curl up with your little girl, for some reason I think that will calm you because I know the love you feel for her like I do with my son, I was a mess today and finally calmed down, believe me GIna I was a total basket case and it went away and it WILL go away for you. I am praying for you. Let me know how you are doing. Debbie.

Gina I am praying you start to feel better, I have had a horrible week myself and am physically ill, sleeping more is not bad when you do not feel well sleep rejuvanates the body, you do not need to commit yourself, they dont do that with people with panic/anxiety, I personally cannot wait till this week is over it seems to have been rough for just about everyone on the site. I fully understand what you are feeling. Please get some rest. God bless, Debbie.
