Anxiety and multivitamins?

...See more Hi all, So I’ve been on medication and therapy for over a year for my anxiety and panic attacks… and it’s been going great. I’ve been feeling like my old self again for the past 7-8 months or so. Recently, about 2-3 weeks ago I started taking multivitamins. And a few day ago I started to get that anxious/irritable feeling again for no apparent reason. No panic attacks, and not too many symptoms, just an overall uneasy feeling. I read that sometimes multivitamins can cause anxious feelings if you may be getting too much of something. I was wondering, has anyone else experienced something similar with multivitamins? I’m going to stop taking them to see if my symptoms go away.
Evening anxiety?

...See more I’m not sure why but the past couple of days I’ve been getting anxious around 4-5pm and it comes and goes until I fall asleep. The weird thing is, there is nothing in particular that I am anxious about, and in the morning/afternoon I feel great! I am seeing a therapist and in the evenings I always tell myself that I should call my therapist in the morning, but then in the morning I feel so good that I tell myself maybe it was just a one time thing and tonight will be better- then it’s not. Does anyone else experience this? If so, what are some things you do to help? I go on night walks and that seems to help a little in the moment.
Why is it back again !

...See more Hello, I haven’t posted much on here for the past month or so, and most of the reason is because my medication has started to really help me with my panic and anxiety. However, the past two days it has came back. I woke up yesterday feeling uneasy and anxious, but for no specific reason. Throughout the day yesterday it just seemed to get worse, then it went away almost completely at night. Today was the same, I woke up feeling anxious and didn’t feel like myself. I felt detached from reality the entire day and felt as though a panic attack was going to come at any minute. Thankfully it never came. Now I’m getting ready for bed and I feel okay, not as anxious, but the anxiety that is there is because I don’t want to feel this again tomorrow. I don’t want to feel like all this improvement is just going to go away and I’m going to become a mess like I was. I’m also scared that this means I may have to increase the dosage of my medication, I don’t want to. If I had a choice I would like to conquer my mental illness without any medication. Im just so worried about it all. I want my life back. I want to feel like myself again. I don’t know who I am, I feel detached from reality and I feel like this life I’m living isn’t mine. Like I’m just existing. I miss me.
Anxiety and breathing

...See more Does anyone else’s anxiety make you feel like you can’t take a deep breath? Like a deep, satisfying breath. When my anxiety comes on, I start focusing on my breathing a lot more and I know that makes it worse. Breathing exercises help for about 15 min, but then the anxiety comes back along with the conscious breathing.
Horrible panic

...See more just experienced a horrible panic attack. I felt like I couldn’t breathe and I couldn’t calm myself down. I tried breathing techniques and a guided meditation but all I could think about the entire time was the panic. I hate this. I hate feeling like this is going to control me for the rest of my life. I just started medication about 2 1/2 weeks ago and it seemed to help up until today. I feel so hopeless. What can I do when breathing and meditation no longer work. I feel like I can’t breath and like I just want to run far away and scream

Always thinking about panic

...See more I suffer from Panic Disorder. I just started taking medication for it and it seems to help with my anxiety in general, but I’m constantly thinking about panic attacks. I avoid going anywhere because as soon as I get there my anxious thoughts start making me believe I am going to panic. I recently had an attack two separate times within a week apart where I actually passed out. I had tests done to rule out any medical complications and they were clear. But now I’m constantly wondering if I’m going to panic and pass out everywhere I go. I can’t even be at a red light for too long because I feel trapped. Can anyone relate ? Am I just cursed to live my life this way for the rest of my life ?? I can’t take this !
