I never knew anxiety or depression existed until 1997, when out of the blue I was overwhelmed with nervous energy. At first, I thought it derived from concerns over a tightness in my chest, then scalp problems and (most recently) a longstanding dry cough.
However, now I have come to realize those were all masks for anxiety, but for what type of anxiety I do not know. Here is the best way I can explain it: It's like walking through a haunted house, and knowing you are going to get scared, but not when. In other words, I become obsessively worried about worry. I just have this fear ... of fear. It last all day, every day.
Seroquel has helped a little bit in "blunting" the race of fear, but when I am worked up as I am know, the 400mg doesn't seem to help. Can anyone relate to this? Any med suggestions? Any insight on that type of anxiety? My mind just races and races with fear.
