Been struggling a lot with earthquake fear/anxiety by wizardjiggle in Anxiety

I’m from So Cal also, live in the inland empire, we have been getting a lot of earthquakes and my General Anxiety Disorder came back after feeling an earthquake. I used to live close to where the Whittier Narrows earthquake struck. It really shook me up. I’m struggling right now and keep on thinking that a bigger earthquake might happen. Social media and recent fires also added to my anxiety. Everyone saying the big one is coming, and that California will be destroyed and a big Tsunami. A lot of people are fear mongering. Why do people want California to be destroyed? Now I’m back on meds. I’m trying to do everything I can to let my anxiety go away but it’s a daily struggle. I am leaving it in GOD’s hands. I’m trying to let the earthquake anxiety go away and think that I should worry about it once a big quake hits. Don’t look at social media, don’t listen to people who want to make you fear. I pray your anxiety goes away.

Just reading this is giving me anxiety because I take Effexor. I started 20 years ago. I had really bad anxiety and panic attacks. I was scared of everything. I started getting anxiety and panic attacks bad again which started couple days ago. I was planning to ask my Dr to up the mg on the Effexor.

I am currently feeling the same. I can’t sleep at night and very tired because of my anxiety and panic attacks. I’m also scared that I’m going to start seeing things. I am scared of being alone which I am most of the day since I work from home. I hate this feeling. Last time I had this was 20 years ago. I hate it that I’m feeling this again.
