physical anxiety symptoms
hey everyone,
i have had anxiety for a long time, at one stage in my life it was there but barely existent. about a year ago i had a breakdown due to work and my anxiety became the worst it’s ever been and only seems to get even more worse now.
over the last year i have become trapped by my anxiety, i struggle to go into public places as my whole body seizes up with anxiety. my muscles tighten everywhere and my legs become very weak to the point i can’t walk.
I have medication but i still get very anxious.
has anyone else experienced symptoms like these? how did you overcome them if so?
Hello, hello field. I haven’t experienced anxiety in public places but I have experienced anxiety and depression and it can be overwhelming. I am currently going through a bout with it and it has lasted a little over a month. I do take Clonazepam which for the last month has been in the morning and in the evening. I just recently talked to a psychologist for the first time in 7 years and it helped also. Have you talked to a counselor/therapist/psychologist? Also can they up your anxiety dosage or change prescription?

Your meds might not be working correctly for you. Talk to a doctor. Maybe a different dose would work better. Maybe a different medication? Sometimes what worked doesn't any more. Sometimes you need something additional or something else. It takes time, it's frustrating. Don't give up.
