I've been suffering from depression and anxiety for years now, and lately my anxiety and panic have been horrible. They relate mostly to the fear of me or my boyfriend losing our jobs, because in July my boyfriend was laid off and ever since then I've been extremely paranoid. Whenever something goes wrong in my life I just feel so scared and panicked, and I automatically go to the worst-case scenario. The symptoms I have are shortness of breath, extremely fast heartbeat, sweaty palms, nurabness in hanRAB and feet, and a HUGE feeling of impending doom and dread.

Can anyone relate? I've recently contacted my old therapist, because I can't live like this anymore.
 
hi,

you're definitely not alone! I am going through severe anxiety right now, and have the nurabness that your describing and a whole mess of other problems, although unlike you the catalyst (as weird as it may sound) is not losing my job as it is for you, it was my recent decision to get a hip tattoo. Talking with your therapist is the first step, and maybe if you keep having problems that are affecting you everyday, making an appointment with a psychiatrist and taking medicine might help. Just started prozac and I'm waiting to reep the benefits! stay strong, and be hopeful that there are things you can do to help you!
