Eff Anxiety

It's worse than I anticipated, episodes go on for more than an hour and after episode is over you feel the aftereffects and it leaves you drained. God have mercy on me and anyone having it without any justified reason. I'd rather feel physical pain of broken bone or strained muscle than to feel the psychological pain from my anxiety disorder. It's mental torture. I'll talk to doctor to up my dosage or something.

@Axzear hello axzear, sorry to hear you're struggling with anxiety. While it's certainly true that anxiety attacks in physiological terms can only last 60 minutes or so and pass after that time, that hour can feel like the longest of your life. I'm hoping you've been able to reach out to a healthcare practitioner regarding a review of your medication, and that you're able to find a way to manage this more successfully. I've linked to self help guide below for additional support in this; the forum is also here for you, as always.
