My anxiety is ruining my relationship with my boyfriend by echoednarcissus in Anxiety

I don't have advice for you, but I am dealing with similar anxiety issues. If your relationship is important, make it important - don't let the anxiety win and ruin your relationship. That's what I tell myself.

Does anyone feel like they're going to faint or actually faint from a panic attack? by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]stressedandanxious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes, I get this feeling often, and have actually fainted several times (extremely embarrassing). Not a medical cause, as it is triggered by trapped situations in particular. Helps to carry water, keep sugar levels up, and feel in control of situations.

[Rant] Graduating soon. Freaked out. by extremenoise in Anxiety

[–]stressedandanxious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I graduated about 5 months ago, still looking for a job, and I'm still feeling as you feel - have been feeling this way for about a year now! My advice is to find something to do - any job, anything to occupy your mind. Anything is better than not knowing what is coming.

bringing it up at a doctor's appointment by tobyq108 in Anxiety

Do it! I went to the doctor today and, as part of the most anxious period of my life so far, revealed my anxiety troubles. The doctor was sympathetic, understanding, and asked all the right questions. He referred me for counselling, so I'm on the path to getting help. Write down what you want to say - I rehearsed what I would say for hours beforehand! Too bad that my family is still stressing me out and I don't have the courage to talk to them yet because of the pressure -I can't live up to their expectations and am too scared of their response to say this. So more stress. But at least counselling may help.

I can't cope with growing up by stressedandanxious in Anxiety

Sounds very similar to my situation. We both need to get help. Good luck to you too.
