I haven't written a sharepost here. I have written many on the Schizophrenia site.

I wanted to share a bit about my anxiety. I started having anxiety attacks after I left my last job 4 years ago. When I had to got there to get my paycheck stubs is when it got the worse. (I had enough time on the books to get full pay from January-June).

Fast forward to now. I have had many attacks lately. One this past Sunday at church bothered me a lot. I was late (not my fault) and that set me off. I went to sit down near a friend, he told me that there was another sitting there and to shove over...he said it nicely. He didn't move far enough for me to sit, I then left the pew to sit up front. That too was full. I got upset and then very anxious. and walked out of thr chapel. This has never happened before. Let me say that my friend and the woman had absoultely nothing to do with my attack. I went into the kitchen to find my focus. After a few minutes I felt better.

Why did it happen? What triggered it? How can I stop it from happening again?

Three years ago my MD (not my pdoc) told me that if I stay physically active I won't have time to be anxious. That is true. I am active a lot and my anxiety has gone down. Until about the past three weeks, I have had several attacks. I am able to control them, but there that one time that keeps me thinking I can have more.

I take Buspar or anxiety. I'm not sure if it is working. I see my pdoc tomorrow. I get a shot of Risperadol Consta that does help me feel less anxiety.

I will wait and see if I feel better tomorrow.

Thank you,

David
