Skan Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 The past few months, I've had such a great handle on my anxiety and have been working on a lot of cognitive behavior stuff. It was helping...well it still is helping But The past few days I have felt the anxiety building. I went and confronted what I thought was causing it and while it helped it did not bring my anxiety levels back down. It probably prevented them from getting a hell of a lot worse, but bringing them down...no. I have a lot of my old physical symptoms of my anxiety coming back... which I have learned is my body's way to alert me to the fact that I am stressing something. Only now...I can't figure out what it is. So far this morning, I have done little more than pace the floors of my house, feeling so keyed up. My mind won't shut up and I'm quickly getting the point where I just want to throw up. Or cry. Or both. I KNOW that something is bothering me, but it just isn't clear. And since it is not clear, I haven't the foggiest clue how to go about fixing it. I really hate times like these! ETA.... I wonder if it isn't something like residual anxiety. I did have myself pretty keyed up there over something stupid for the better part of a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SashaSue Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 FWIW, what you're describing sounds to me like it might be hypomania rather than anxiety. Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liveoak Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 It could be biochemical. I had terribly anxiety all the time until I added Seroquel to my cocktail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
