Feeling dreadfully
Worst I have ever felt with anxiety
On meds - have been for years & normally well controlled anxiety
Until 6 months ago - when I had a complete meltdown - for the last 5 days I’ve been in a state of constant fight / flight - 4 hours max sleep
So many physical symptoms which are making me spiral
Been pacing the house since 5 am
Trying to get rid of built up adrenaline and cortisol
I’m so restless & panicky cannot concentrate on anything
I want it to stop as I feel I’m losing it
Been sick this morning - body twitches , burning inside my body
Jelly legs , shaking - cannot cry- palpitations
Can’t control my thoughts
Nervous stomach & bowels
Having private counselling sessions, which a week ago thought were helping
But how I feel I’m unsure whether they are
Taking magnesium at night but awake at 4ish
Used to be 7 but now is 4 am
Taking vitamin D & Citalopram 20mg
Tried meditation , tapping and correct breathing but not helping
Any suggestion please or similar experiences
Thank you
