I've struggled with anxiety my whole life, but today is another level. Money, marriage, parenthood. Today is just to hard. It feels like im being stabbed in the chest and and it feels like i cant breath right. Everything is such a mess and I don't know how to get out of this whole. Anybody els gets days like this?

Well, Please just take it easy my friend. Nothing in this life is more important than one well-being. Feeling like being stabbed in the chest is not a good thing. I pray that God in his infinite mercy meets you at the point of your needs. Cheers!

I think it`ll be more helpful if you go see a Psychiatrist to help you out with anxiety

If I was in a messy situation I would pray and ask for help. Hopefully things will get better for you!

I just keep pegging away at what needs to be done to reduce my anxiety. My mantra is to do my best and accept the result. Also, "this too shall pass" - siva

Step back. Take a pause. And take several deep breaths. That helps me.

I was having panic attacks almost every day. They started two years ago last May and were very bad. Twice I went to the ER because I thought I was having a heart attack or a stroke. I'm not young, I'm 71. I take several different herbal supplements and the attacks aren't anywhere as bad as they were before, nor as often. And most of the time the supplements will stop an attack within 30-40 minutes to an hour. There are about 100 symptoms of anxiety attacks, most of them mimic other illnesses. I found some videos on youtube that are very helpful. If you do a yutube search for David Daish you'll find them. He's very good to listen to. Also, here's a site that has information about anxiety, this is the page that lists the symptoms, in case you're interested. But the site itself may be helpful. If you scroll halfway down the page there's a list of all symptoms.
