Things that trigger my anxiety

[Dimeshorty]

Crowds, my mother, any method of transportation,talking to people I don't know snd sometimes talking to people I know. The heat triggers my anxiety so as you can imagine I'm so relieved that it's winter. During the summer I had panic attacks all over the place. Right now I'm taking celexa 10mg daily, valium 20mg daily and Lithium and risperdal for my bipolar disorder. Sometimes I wish this were a bipolar issue that I was having because this anxiety is such and uncomfortable feeling that It's like being crippled. What are your thoughts on my problems? Anyone

HI Dimeshorty -

Are you in counseling for the anxiety?  Many of us have benefited from it. 

Also, are you working with a psychiatrist?  Maybe a different combination of meds would help you more.  I know that I have had to change mine many times over the years to keep up with my anxiety and depression.
