My anxiety has been a roller coaster ride for the past 5 years. For a year it was so bad I couldn't leave the house.. For a year it was so mild that I could do anything I wanted as long as I had my bottle of ativan in my pocket. 5 years after being diagnsoed with this anxiety disorder, I am more afraid of how my health is going to be from the stress my body has gone through. I'm 22 years old, about to graduate college. I don't smoke, rarely drink, exercise daily and have a good diet. Every doctor says i'm healthy and perfect blood work, but the stress I put on my body on a daily basis throughout the past 5 years scares me. Are there any users on here that have been dealing with constant stress and anxiety for years that can reassure me I will be fine and can get get back on track.. Hearing things from people that know what I'm going through makes me feel much better than someone who has no idea what I go through..

Panic Stress and Anxiety won't kill you..Our bodies only produce so much cortisol and adrenaline...so stop the worrying on that...Been dealing with this for many many years and I'm a healthy 43 year old..funny since for years I always thought I was dying..your fine hun so relax :)

Hi. I am 24 and I can remember having a nervous stomach around the age of 10 or 11, so it's been a pretty long time for me.My dad also had really severe panic disorder. The doctors actually had him hooked up to heart monitors for awhile when it got really bad, but they said his heart was perfectly healthy. He is in his sixties now and has had anxiety for about 30 years, but he doesn't have any health problems. I really wouldn't worry. Panic and stress won't kill you or give you some horrible disease. The harmless symptoms are the only thing that make anxiety so terrible. The only good things is that they won't hurt you.
