HELP! (Xpost)
« on: February 06, 2012, 01:48:04 PM »
Start by I'm new... hello
Second, sorry there is no time to intro myself.  I'm going to follow up with dr today and need help. 
Now that the depression is under control I'm noticing more anxiety.  Normal?  Also, do I tell my dr this is the case?  I can't leave the house on somedays.  I shake, I'm restless, tingle hands and arms, I get dizzy, sometimes it gets so bad that I've found it hard to breathe and even throw up.  I'm afraid that "something" bad is going to happen... I have a fear of losing my mind... feeling overwhelmed.
If I tell the dr, will she lock me up? 

I need advice.  Please!!  Help me!!

Hi rainydayrockstar,  what a cute username  :happy0151:

Welcome to anxiety zone,

I'm glad to hear that your depression has improved.  Anxiety can be a very common issue, especially with some that deal with depression (whether you are in a depression or not).  Its totally okay to tell your doctor about the physical issues and feelings you are experiencing, as doctors are quite familiar with patients with anxiety.  Anxiety is a very common issue and you are not alone, and nor are you in danger of being locked up.  :)  All of the issues you are experiencing can be very common with anxiety.  I think it can be a good idea to let your doc know about these issues.

Do you have a therapist?  Perhaps you could consider seeing a therapist on this issue, looking into books about anxiety, and practicing ways to relieve anxiety like consistent exercise, relaxation techniques, yoga, meditation.  Also cognitive behavioral therapy is a good route. 

Feel free to tell your doctor about these issues, and also let us know how things go for you.

:)

rainydayrockstar - I could have written your post!  I am also fearful of going to the doctor's but I'm going tomorrow.  In many ways depression was so much easier to deal with than this anxiety/panic.  I'm used to feeling hopeless (not that I enjoyed it) but with Anxiety it is a whole 'notha level!!!

let us know what happens.
