Hey everyone!

im new here and just looking for some adive right now :)

So im only 20 years old and have had anxiety for a few years now. What really made me realize i had anxiety was about 2 years ago in June when i was in Myrtle Beach on a vacation. Long story short i suffered a really bad attack that lasted upwards of 3 days, I ended up leaving vacation and driving home with my boyfriend, he didnt understand what was going on. I went on meds and i was "controlled" for a while. I have now been off of them for about a year and for the past 2 weeks ive had this lingering feeling of anxiety. i feel like i cant even go in my car without freaking out in my own mind. Ive layed in bed to go to sleep and just jumped up out of nowhere and got up saying "i cant do this". i feel like im literally going crazy but i guess i know im not. I really need advice on how to get these terrible feelings out of my head im so scared of having anxiety that its giving it to me. I cant really even stand driving anywhere. Im stuck. Ive also found that im doing things that are just like OCD, not too bad though and im working on that. I just need advice, please please help me!

Thank you all

John(imagination),
I actually feel a bit better knowing that you understand. Your comment really just put me at ease. Im glad there are people who know exactly how i feel. When i was on vacation i basically had too much caffeine and it just traumatized me. i didn't realize that i had taken capsules of caffeine, i thought it was just headache medication with a tiny bit of caffeine inside.. that is what triggered the anxiety mostly and put this fear inside of me. Im going to take your advice and am going to a psychiatrist on Monday. Believe me.. Monday needs to hurry up. How much progress have you made since going to your therapist? Im very interested in your story. Ive also discovered a few breathing exercises as well as a few sayings i tell myself such as "this is just a false alarm, everything is fine". Im grateful to have people to talk to on here now. My boyfriend is understanding but youre right, he will never know until he experiences it. But i do not wish this problem on anyone. Thank you SO much i really appreciate you taking your time out and responding :) I hope you get through this as well, stay strong. We will make it!!

Thank you all each of you have given me good insight. I've felt good for 2 days but driving home I'm again getting anxious and at the diner also. I have a therapist appointment Monday. I just need to know that it'll go away eventually. Again thank you all and good luck to each of you we will all work it out

There is some kind of switch that hits our mind. Anxiety is horrid.

maybe u might consider seeing a therapist. I'm on both meds and seeing a psychotherapist for anxiety and OCD. It does help.
