I feel your pain. I have been the same way too. I don't know how the weather has been in ca lately but its been cold on the east coast. I know for me thing will get somewhat better when the weather improves. I haven't really found a solution for my anxiety yet, but a lot of people on here have. I'm sure someone can help you. Good luck, and I hope you feel better.

Hi there. i suffer from the same thing too. Im good for a bit then out of nowhere I get an attack for no reason, and then I feel exhausted and just want to lay down and not talk to anyone. I do hypnotherpy and it has help reduce the length of an attack. They used to last 30-45 minutes for me now its only 4-5 minutes. It still sucks though. Im constantly anxious and my mind goes 90 all the time. Give hypnotherapy a try. If you do, good luck I hope it works for you.

i feel that sometimes i cause my own anxiety..if that can happen?
i think to myself ohh wow i have not had an attack in forever, and then i think about it and how it feels and bam!
i get one, i can talk myself out of most of them and calm my self down, but there are times where i feel that cant do it alone and i panic. and have to take other actions, my dr gave me clonazepam only when needed.

I was having the same issues I have not had an anxiety attack in a few years then I moved out of state, out of my safe environment and they started. they go to where i could not go to town alone. I finally got fed up with it ruling my life and went to dr. He put me on wellbutrin for my depression and valuim for the anxiety and let me tell you today I went out and had no issues! and its only been a week!! I did not want anxiety to ruin my life so i did something about it hopefully the valium will be a short term help if not so be it im ready to live again!!
