Anxiety
by: Elizabeth on Thu, Sep 27 2007

I have been suffering with anxiety for 2 years. It began one night while sleeping with a horrible panic attack. I thought I was having a heart attack I was on medication for about 3 months, but could not afford it. It has gotten better over the last year, but I still have daily bouts with mild panic and general anxiety It is worse at night because I live alone and it is not as easy to find calm when I am alone with my racing thoughts. The hardest thing has been convincing myself that the problem is caused by a psychological / hormonal problem, not a physical medical problem.
