OK I give up!

I had a panic attack on the phone to my bf AGAIN (I am such an idiot!!!) and he is having a down day and I didn’t help. I feel awful. I’m done. I’m going back to the doctor’s! I can’t live like this, I just can’t cope with my anxiety.

I don’t think that is giving up, it sounds more like you are accepting you have a problem and doing something about it, that is called being pro active, you realise that the way you are going is not helping so you are changeing direction to a way that will help.
Well done you! and goodluck, you should be proud of yourself for accepting the help out there and using it.

We all screw up sometimes, but, you gotta stop expecting that life is perfect and seamless…You can always do something to show you care….

How about start by being honest with your bf….about your anxiety problems…

Maybe find a way to calm down during stress…..

Your right, lazydaze…accepting and dealing with your problems is never quitting, but it’s stepping up!

I’ve learned that when I feel the stress begin to escalate I stop and think about my priorities. What is really important to me at this moment? It calms me a bit and allows me focus, then the anxiety isn’t in control of me, I am.

It’s okay hun, we’ve all been there, with our own individual problems of life…

And you will get better, and this will change….

You need to both have faith, and take actions…small steps..to get your life to a better place…

Explain to him how you feel about the anxity and about him, once he knows everything then he can be there for you.
I think your worst enemy at the moment is yourself, you are the one that can make it all crash down by pushing hum away and thinking that your not worth anyhing.
Wrap your head around the fact that you can and will get better you just have to give yourself time and stop beating yourself up.

I don’t know if you are pushing him away or not, I do think that if you don’t tell him how you feel and talk about it he may feel left out a little.
You said you were going to the doctors about this, calm down and let them take over.

Ok, I read your other post and all I can say is the thing you need to do RIGHT NOW. All other things can wait, is when you get a hold of your doctor, ask for benzodiazepines.

Specifically Xanax or Klonopin, these drugs are short acting anti-anxiety medications that target a specific neurotransmitter in your brain called GABA. GABA is implicated as a relaxing-sedating neurotransmitter that stops panic attacks and eliminates short term extreme anxiety when taken in appropriate amounts.

The rest of advice can wait, this should be your type priority to stabilize your life away from anxiety.

sweety needless to say that before worrying about losing your bf you should just worry about you, feelings of guilt for failing the others when it is really they who have failed to understand what you’re going through is the last thing you need right now…
and about crying at work, panicing on the phone and in all the wrong moments of the day, i can’t say i have the solution to it because it still happens to me, but i can at least tell you that you’re not alone in this, as in you have us here, and you’re not alone as in at least in my office 30% of my co-workers have paniced at work and broke down in tears, including me of course, so there’s plentry of us, don’t let it alienate you as it is programmed to.
i’ve just found an advertisement right below your post, and for the first time i clicked it, the link is http://www.panicaway.com/, you might wanna try it with me if you haven’t already.
luv luv
