Hi I am 39 and have been living with anxiety for years...only recently diagnosed with it. I take lexepro 10mg 1x daily and xanax when needed.....which is and interesting because it feels like I could need it all the time... but I dont.
I would give my right arm to feel normal...I have 2 daughters and a husband but unfortunatly he does not understand me....thinks I should just relax...ahhh if it were just that easy...and to make matters worse I get panic attacks sometimes that last almost a week before symptoms go away...I suffer from IBS ( irritable bowel syndrom) when in high anxiety mode.
I tend to be more worried about health and death...I fear dieng and more then that, what would I do if diagnosed with something fatal...the living with knowing I was dieng..that freaks me out so bad I go round and round with myself.....
I also take ambien to sleep at night....
Id love to chat with someone who feels like me....anyone???
Jen
