Hi, I've been having a tough week...I posted about it a couple weeks ago saying I had lost my job (teacher) and I am worried about getting another one. I guess since work is over now, I have more time to think about it? I am trying not to worry, but I have been feeling so sick. I have had chest pain for weeks now and palpitations too. =( I also had an anxiety attack two weeks ago. I guess I am just looking to see if anyone has any advice!? I think I am still feeling sick b/c I can't stop worrying about my symptoms, even though i was tested last year & I was fine. Please help! Thanks so much!!! I just want to relax and enjoy the summer.

Re: Anxiety??? Please help
To reassure yourself, I would go to the doctor to get checked out. Counseling and/or medication are both very helpful solutions to Panic/anxiety disorder. If you want to chat, feel free to FM me . . .

Def go back to your dr for checkup.
I suffer from panic attacks, but have not had one in about one month!! Seeing a therapist and meds might be a solution. But, just don't talk to tom cruise .

I would definitely go to the doctor. I have a friend who had really bad anxiety, and he finally went to the doctor about it, and he is 100% better--he used to be upset all of the time, and now he is more balanced and more 'normal' as he puts it. he is so much happier now that he is on meds to help him.
Feel free to FM if you want to talk. It is natural to be stressed about losing your job. Someone told me, when I am worried about something, to only allow myself to worry about it for one hour of the day. If it's not that hour, then put it out of your mind! I am a worrier, and that sometimes helps, but if you have had an actual panic attack I'd definitely see the doc.
Good luck!

Re: Anxiety??? Please help
I am going through this RIGHT NOW, I actually had to stay home from work for 5 days - unreal, I couldn't control it at all, I went to the Dr. and got meds, don't want to be on them, but they are helping. I still have them but NOT everyday, I am thinking of going to a psychitrist also, I don't want them at ALL ! Pls. e-mail me at [email protected] if you have any questions, I feel like an information pro on this topic now, after all I have been through.

I agree, what the hell is going on with all of us, is it pressure of it all, weddings, babies, families, finances?
