Does anyone remember the good old days of being/ FEELING normal? Or wonder if they will ever be that way again?


TOday has just been one of those days... and it's only 10:30. I feel like I'm in a slump b/c of this and the anxiety. Even when I am not "currently anxious"... I still get the tighness in chest.. or shortness of breath... and it really sucks!


I've always been a worrier (obviously).. but w/ the new symptoms of severe anxiety the past 3-4 months is really beginning to take it's toll. I've tried therapy, meditation, and meds. And dson't get me wrong; they have all waorked... but seem like a temporary crutch.


It feels like the good old days of not fearing to do things or even falling asleep are long forgotten... and I hope I can get better and not be like this for the rest of my life.


I've read book after book.. and researched stuff online... to almost no avail.


It's like I just woke up one morning to these new nasty sensations.. and I don't know how I got that way.. and I don't know how I'm going to get rid of them. I'm only 23.. and the rest of my life.. (Hopefully) will be a long time... and I really don't wanna live with this that long...


anyone else get in those slumps... like you're just too bumned out.. to even be nervious or care about emet... even though.. it is a part of your huge problem?
