Anxiety... again


[39...]

Recommended Posts

[39...]

This month I'll be a half year benzo free. This Wednesday I had a very stressfull day because I choose face my fears instead of duck from them. I had a panic attack that I somehow "absorbed" and it came out later when I was trying to fall asleep. The day after, yesterday, I woke up as usual, taking a walk etc, but in the afternoon I was hit by bad anxiety. And same thing today. Usually I feel okay in the morning but it quickly turns into anxiety.

 

19th May I THINK I was hit with a window. I've not had any "bad" anxiety/panic attack since then until now. Looking at my posting history I had a very bad period before this and it seems like I'm having a setback again.

 

Just as last time I'm over analyzing stuff... I ate freshly baked buns and we all know fermentation of bread produces alcohol, I don't know if this can affect me? Doesn't the alcohol go away when you heat the buns?

 

Feels like Im having my worst anxiety so far in withdrawal, hard to fall asleep because I get some kind of head pressure when laying down... jesus what can I do? I feel like Im back at stage one...

Hi Daniel, you and I have been off for close to the same time. I went to rehab last November and got detoxed off of Xanax in 5 days.

 

My biggest problem still is the anxiety along with depression, fatigue and a lot of other terrible symptoms.  I definitely have windows and waves all the time. Sometimes I feel like the anxiety is so bad I am going to drop dead. So waves can last one day or sometimes more than on day. I just stick in there and hope it passes. All we can do is live through it and post for moral support from ppl who know what we are going through

 

Good luck I hope it passes soon.

Daniel91, Try not to overthink things (bread). I was the same way. Analyzed everything I ate and drank. Researched all kinds of things. I think I started to get paranoid and obsessive. It sends you into a cycle of anxiety. I try to just live as care free as possible and deal with the symptoms as they come. The only website I go on is this one. The more you get back into your old routine the better you will feel. Good Luck brother
