I have passed out from anxiety before. It has been probably more than a year, but I went thorugh a phase when my anxiety first started (or I first started to notice it rather) where I would faint while I was at work. I had a stressful job, but the other anxiety symptoms were not present yet. From that point on my anxiety has progressively gotten worse. My biggest side effect, if you will, is nausea however. I am currently about 5 months pregnant and the nausea that was present with the anxiety before has gotten so much worse that I now am starting to feel very depressed about how often I feel badly.
I am very grateful that there is a group out here like this as well!

hi my name is Calli I am from Aztec New Mexico. I haven't seen a dr yet to find out if i am haveing anxitey attacks.but i think i have them i find myself cring alot on the edge have a hard time breathing. I am on a sleeping pill cause the dr can't understand why when i am a sleep i don't wake up but my brain does so they put me on sleeping pills. They put me on clonazepam .5 mg its a generic for klonopin. It seems to help me sleep but i am worried that i won't here my kids if they wake up in the middle of the night. It seems to of gotten worses since my son was left on a school bus for 6 hours and he couldn't get off. I hope that this group can help me and give me the support i need to over come them when they happen. I am a stay at home mom I don't do good in big i fill like i am going to freak out so i get out of there. I have going to the grocery store by myself with the kids i would rather go with my husband or go by myself.
Welcome Back...I'm new to the group. i also suffer from anxiety. i had it when i was 17 but then when i got pregnant with my first son it went ahead for a while but then i noticed it again when i was 19 when my hubby got hurt in the coal mines and got his back broke. ever since then i've been dealing with it but i didnt start taking meds for it until last year on halloween but i only take the meds when i need it. my symptoms include sick to my stomach, dizzy, blurry vision when watching tv with my boys ( only when i have a attack tho) shortness of breath, left arm either hurting, tingling or numb alittle bit but nothing to big on that part tho..i've had ekg's and they all come back normal and i had a ct scan done cause my doc thought that i had a blood clot on my brain but that came back normal thank god. but no one knows what i go through in my family and i dont talk to my hubbys family about it but im dealing with it the best way i can...it got more noticeable last year when my oldest son started school. oh and im only 24 so im hoping that i dont get no worse then what i am now.
Has anyone had such anxiety over money woes. My DH is an irresponsible prick when it comes to money. Not to say that i'm so great about it either but he thinks he's fuckin blameless and everything comes down to me. I have had depression, anxiety and OCD for years. I am on celexa klonopin and deplin as well as ambien cr for sleep. I only take what the therapist prescribes for me and I even do that with caution. I had this nosy bitch neighbor who I never told that I was taking meds because I feel it's no ones business, and she saw me take my meds one day before lunch. That was like 6 months ago. Last week my family got the flu and she freaked saying she thought I was on drugs. I fought back saying she knows me too well to even assume that, and I had to fess up that I take meds for anxiety but thats none of her fuckin business and how DARE she say anything negative about me. Then I went into a major depressive episode. Well that lifted as they all do and then my jerk husband tells me we are broke untill next week and it's my fuckin fault. We had a HUGE fight and now i'm sunk into depression again. Cant wait to go back to the therapist with this one. I don't sugar coat thinks and act like everything is hunky-dory. I try to pull the good out of my life and hold on to that. Has anyone ever felt this way?
