Yes, most of the time I feel nervous as well. In fact, I have the distinct feeling that the inside of my body is moving, and so I sort of feel like I have to move my hands or fingers to keep up with that inner jittery feeling. Does that make any sense?

Sometimes I don't know how much longer I can take this before completely breaking into pieces.

So yes, don't worry, because you're not the only one.

THANKS!!!!
I can feel your frustrations also. Some days I feel another moment of this and I am going to have a break down or lose my mind, I just want to be normal again and live a normal life. I feel your pain also and my heart goes out to you!
thanks scaredgirl

to scared you need to learn how to relax and to let go of excessive tension, you wont lose your mind
maybe take ativan 3 times daily for a while as this should help a lot

To say I have a problem with anxiety and panic attacks is an understatement. I get panic attacks many times a day and they are very hard to get rid of when you are quitting smoking.

I am not on any medication becuase I really don't want to go to a doctor and admit that I have a disorder and fear being labelled a 'headcase'.

However, there are times when I am ready to simply cry and pass out from the torture of anxiety.

Just this week I am experiencing sharp chest pains and difficulty breathing. Like an idiot I hoped it would go away and did nothing. I finally made an appt to see a Dr tomorrow and now it is as if I just want it all to be over with. I just want to go to the office, lie down, and pass out.

Pass out is a bad term, though - I want to zone out is more like it. Often while I drive, I will try to focus on a far off point to blur my vision and free my mind.

I'm way beyond screaming and trembling, I'm just ready to pass out for a year or so. I'm no longer really scared of each little thing that panics me - I'm more ready to give up and give in to the fear rather than worry about it.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that you're not the only one.

If this makes sense to you, hope it helped.
You're not the only one.
