I know I haven't been posting as much as I should but right now my life is EXTREMELY stressful and I'm having a terrible time coping with it.
I'm now dealing with daily, constant panic attacks, something that I haven't dealt with for a VERY long time. I'm looking for some advice on how to deal with them. I can't stand these chest pains any longer. I'm up to taking 1.5 mg at a time of Xanax and I'm still in pain. My stress to finding some kind of relief is just compounding the pain.
I NEED IMMEDIATE HELP PLEASE!!!! Any and all advice anybody can give would be greatly appreciated. I've tried doing deep breathing but every time I breathe in it HURTS LIKE HELL!!! I've also tried music and that doesn't help. I've also tried not to think about the problem but it keeps creeping back in my mind and won't go away.
I feel awful coming here and asking for help and barely being here for much else. It makes me feel so selfish and guilty and of course, that just adds to my stress level but I don't know what else to do at this point. I go to my pdoc this Friday but that is several days away.
It just seems that the root to all my stress is escalating on a daily basis and there is nothing I can do about it, it is not in my control to change.
I'm at my witt's end with all of this and hope that SOMEBODY here can help me relieve some of this pain or maybe suggest something stronger than Xanax that would help.
All I know is that I can't handle another minute of this.
Mega thanks in advance to anyone who offers any assistance to me. If you know of some site online that can help me, I would be very grateful.
Somebody, anybody PLEASE HELP ME!!! Of course, your prayers are also very appreciated in you are so inclined to do so.
THANKS, Angel Girl
