It is at it's worse for me a few days before, sometimes even a week before. It pisses me off because I think I'm going to die and then it shows up to just tell me that I'm a girl. HA.

If you're talking about that time of the month.. (sorry boys).... It DEFINATELY affects me... and I actually feel as though my meds stop working... My hubby always says.. the minute I want to talk about our "marriage" or "reinventing the wheel". (god bless his patient soul)..he just knows that it's on the way and that I'm just about over the "top"..as my OCD tendencies definately start to show more

...Definately hormones play a huge part with us..

Perfectly normal ....

Take care

Well thanks for the reply DB & Jaci . For the first time in MONTHS i did not have a panic attack in the night heaven !!!! Still woke a zillion times but at no gasping yayyy .

Did push myself today as promised went shopping , was anixous as per usual but half way started to feel better ooooo .

Had to deal with my husbands depression today as well , he was really bad with snapping and shouting but i eventually calmed him down *sigh* . Did loads of housework , till pain set in and had to stop .

He cooked me me a meal but could only manage a tiny amount before stomach went beserk so had to stop . Gutting as it was my favourite meal .

Are you better now Jaci ? I do intend to go on the meds have been on meds in the past so know i can .

Just gotta be brave like you !! x

Hi Cornish,

These haven't been the best days for me lately, but I'll tell you about discovering my anxiety disorder. I'd been physically sick for 2 years. Throwing up daily, not able to keep any food down, and constantly running to the bathroom. Mine was usually just urinating, but I can understand the thought that maybe you have IBS.

My doctor had me run through a million tests to see if I had ulcers, hernias, slow moving digestion, blockages in my digestive tract, everything and anything you can think of dealing with my stomach, cause I was positive that's what my problem was.

Little did I know that the nausea was being brought on by my panic/anxiety attacks. Once my doctor and I agreed that that was the problem, we started off on a really low dose of Paxil. After a month when things still weren't "perfect" we uped the dosage of that and he gave me Adivan for the times I just couldn't relax on my own.

Now I'm taking Paxil and Clonazepam daily. I never wanted to go on "those" meds either. But I'm so thankful my doctor finally convinced me to try. I've been on them now for over 6 years. Not always the same dosages. I've fluctuated them up and down depending on how things are going with my day to day life.

The fear of the unkown in understandable, but I'm sure nearly everyone on this site can tell you they've been on some sort of meds for their anxiety over the years. Just cause you go on something now, doesn't mean it's forever.

And it could take awhile till you and your doctor find the right medication for you. Be patient and try it. But you have to give it more than 1 day to know for sure if it's the right stuff for you.

Hi Cornish,

We all get like this from time to time. You can have a good few days/weeks and an unexpected relapse can set you back in your tracks, but it is all part of the healing process. These relapses happen to all of us.

You just have to learn the right techniques to cope with them. Soon they will get fewer and fewer, eventually they will no longer rule your life.

Hope is a wonderful thing.

Don't let perception be only useful in retrospect. Use it to perceive how you feel at the time.

I find that the questions of evidence building really help me. "Is this different to any other time, what supports this thought, etc"

But you have to be enormously brave to put it in to practice when those horrible thoughts are filling your mind.

And I can understand where you are coming from by not wanting to unload on your partner. It can seem that you are a burden, but you are not. "In sickness and in health"

Imagine you were in his position. You would only ever want to help in any way you can - and don't be afraid to let him know how he can help.

Remember that we are lucky. This is not a life-long dibility. We just have to keep powering through and we'll all make it through, a better, happier person who can deal with stress and anxiety better than anyone can.

We'll get there.

Oh Mya i really really want to honest i do but am so scared at the mo . A few weeks ago the doc gave me Citapram and i nearly went beserk . I didnt sleep for three nights solid . It set my problem off with my abdomen spomething awful . Plus the 'usual' side effects you get . Which i think i could handle .

You know , bad tummy , dizziness etc .

The last four days the pain in my left side and abdomen has been hell , to the point of nearly banging my head against the wall . I still havnt got my results back from hospital . I know they were checking for an ulcer and he didnt spot one in veiw thats why they took biopsies SIGH .

I only want a name to what i have wrong with me so i can deal with it , as of yet doctors have said nothing and i feel like im becoming a problem patient !!

A family member has suggested to me that i might have IBS , i have looked up and i answered yes to so many of the symtons i was shocked . Espically the unladylike constant burping LOL .

Back to meds i really will start taking them BUT i want to see the doc and see if he thinks its possible i might have IBS . Does that make any sense to you or anyone . Because im not usually a chicken but feel it ATM .

At this present moment im highly tempted to raid the medicine box i have and pop one and say to hell with it !!! But am so anxious and tired because of last night .

Im even scared to get ready for bed and thats stupid .

I plan to go shopping tommorrow because ive hid myself away all day . I will do something testing tommorrow mark my words .

Fingers crossed

Dee, It is ok to vent and let it all out. Use your journal to keep track of these specific times and discuss it with your doctor to help better assess the situation. Good for you for pushing forward and being active. You have been instrumental in supporting others, let us support you.
