Anxiety Self Help

I haven't had an anxiety attack or anything but I honestly think I'm in denial. I've not done much study. I only started yesterday. It's only one hour though and there's only one question. I'm just hoping I know enough to pass. I hope I don't start panicking tomorrow morning. I need that time to study. I really wish I could stop getting distracted though. I just wanna cuddle my boyfriend and sleep. I'm tired all the time since I've been on lexapro. I fell asleep earlier when I should have been studying. I do find I'm starting to sleep better at night though so perhaps my tiredness is just the missed sleep and will get better soon. I can't wait to be finished my exam tomorrow but then I have an assignment to do grrrrrr. I'm trying to forget about it and focus on just this exam but I can't help worry about the assignment too. I tend to panic more on assignments, I don't know why.

My Comments From: VividDreamer May 02 2012, 9:31 am I had a pain in my stomach before my exam but other than that I have noticed that they've been less. I woke up this morning at 5am though really anxious for no reason and it felt like everything was moving. Felt really queasy. How are you anyway? :) From: jen13 May 01 2012, 7:55 pm oh yes..hyper phases are normal, It actually happens to me when I have anxiety.. I can be happy, then hyper, then really tired. Its just that our emotions are all out of control when we are in an anxious state. they say 7 days after staring lexapro you will start to feel them take effect and start to feel less anxious and more even and just feel normal. It will be about 8 weeks when they are in full effect and you feel calm and like your old self again. how has your stomach been? more calm and less hurting feeling? I noticed my stomach was the 1st thing that started to feel better after I started lexapro... From: VividDreamer May 01 2012, 6:45 pm Kind of less but I didn't think they would work that fast. I am still anxious though and I was very clingy to my parents when I was home which wasn't like me and didn't like to be alone. I cried when I got back to my apartment. I find I get a hyper phase every day for about half an hour, is this normal? I think they must be starting to work though as I should be really anxious tomorrow with an exam or at least I think I should. Thanks to you both and hope things are going well for ye too. :) From: jen13 May 01 2012, 5:54 pm I am glad to hear you are staring to sleep better at night!!! also awesome to hear that you are not having anxiety attacks! do you notice you are feeling alot less anxiety since last week? the sleepiness should start to get better now that you are sleeping better throughout the night.
