Hey everyone. I just recently had an anxiety attack. My heart was beating very quickly,dizzy, got weak. It was a very scary experience. Although I think me smoking marijuana caused it as i became very paranoid. I do have a history of depression and worryin gover things too much. Yes i have decided never to an drug again. I want to live right for God first and my family. I have seen a reg doctor who has prescribed me xanax for now till i go back this thursday to see the internal medicine doctor to see if i need to be treated for anxiety on a daily basis. I know drugs are bad and i was very foolish to even do it.Wondering if any othe rppl has exp this and how they dealt with overcoming anxiety as likei said i always had some anxiety but never that bad. I pray for God to lead me in the direction that I need. Thanks for any response to this.
i remember the first time i had an axiety attack i told my husband i was dying and i needed to go to the hospital. i really really thought i was dying. he knew what it was right away he told me to calm down that i was having a panic attack and after a few minutes of freaking out i listened and i was fine. i took slow deep breaths and got through it. like you my heart was racing i thought i was having a heart attack. i am on medication now and it has really helped me alot. sometimes it takes awhile for a person to be able to find the right medication but it is worth it in the end. i was on one med for a year and i was tolerating it and now i am on another one and it is doing the trick. i am so relieved. i am glad you are seeking help from your doctor and putting your faith in the lord with god all things are possible and you will notice things will go better with the lord in your life. please let me know how it goes for you. there are wonderful people on this site and are great supporters you have come to a great place. hope you have a wonderful day. :)
Thanks so much! I was doing a search for support groups and found this..They were talking about maybe anti-depressants but not sure if that is route i want to go as i was on some 10 yrs ago that did not help me..I think i just need something to keep calm cause sometimes i just worry over stupid things..RIght now I am taking xanax 2 times a day. So far i think it has helped..but i know marijuana did not help..i think it induced it as i have had 2 anxiety attaxks this bad,,each time from smoking it...but i still have the little anxiety from day to day.just not that bad..so maybe they will keep me on something for nerves as i dont want to be a ginny pig over anti-depressants again. made me gain so much weight i have strech marks and excess skin from it...I do know God is good and I am looking to him for strenght and guidance.
i totally believe you on the weight thing because i have put on weight and have had a hard time getting it off. i have put on so much weight it is unreal. i have never been this big. :(
ty foxy for responding to my posts..It's good feeling to know there are other ppl out there strugging with things...God Bless you!
yw here anytime u need to talk :)
Thanks so much.:D
Well I have been on xanax and zoloft for about 2 weeks now I think. It has really helped me chill out as for as xanax goes..i know zoloft takes a bit to get to it's high level but I do feel better. :D:D
I take xanax to sleep or i would be up all night.
So i understand Anxiety i hate it. I am usually wired up after work so i do breathing exercises and listen to calming music to calm down.
and lots of praying to God for he is my rock and peace that passes all understanding.
keep the faith and take your meds.
As we say in church "nothing like a medicated saint"
Yoru so right Brochristopher.....God is The shining Light,the redeemer, the restorer of lives,King of Kings, Without him I am nothing. I have to say to myself" God did not give us a spirit of fear but a spirit of peace,love,and a sound mind. I will put my helmet of salvation on,my shield of righteousnsess,and cary the sword of truth. Thanks guys!
Wow i was feeling fine but now all these medical bills are coming and going through that anxiety is really going to cost me alot of money...I would of been better of just dying...I feel like giving up now....nothing is going right for me no matter what...it's just a matter of time before it's all over with...
