>Dear Tina~
Only have a quick mini-moment here.
Gotta work. But, I am so worried for you. I hate the misery our 'ailments' put us through! One of my biggest probs is energy, and the lack there-of. It's the reason I don't post much, but wd. like to.
It has also made me quite slow in getting help. I am only on my fourth trial of a therapist/p-doc. I couldn't seem to get out of my 'safe haven' (home) to search much, but, lord, did I ever need to!
Question-Have you seen many docs? Cause you must keep searching for someone who really HEARS you and is compassionate and willing to REALLY help you. It's a terrible struggle, I know. Very draining, sometimes, that search, for a doc, and then, for the right meds. I am not yet in complete remission, but, I am better, and that is something. It is only b/c I finally found a doc who believes as strongly in med therapy as just 'talking it out'.
Are you planning on searching some more? Please say yes.Concerned~

This anxiety is killing me. I can't even drink a glass of water without feeling sick. I feel nauseated ALL the time. I don't sleep because I am afraid of the panic attacks. They come every night. Terror, inability to breathe, throat closing up, nausea, dizziness, vomiting. It's happening every night and it's happening every day. I'm taking the klonopin and it helps a little but my prescription only allows for .5mg a day so I take it sparingly. I don't want to suffer withdrawal either so I'm afraid to take alot of it. I don't have anything else. I don't have a doc. I don't know what to do. I spent two years like this about 9 years ago. I threw up several times a day, I had persistent health problems, I couldn't eat anything but lettuce. I lost 25 pounds which wasn't so bad but that put me into anorexic mode and I continued in that behaviour for quite some time after. I stayed severly underweight for years. This anxiety is causing me now to eat very little. Broth, a little water, mostly crackers. I feel horrible all the time.
