Severe Anxiety...

[Guest guest]

I recently posted about how my nada attacked me about associating with my father

and his family, now her and my sister (who is practically controlled by NADA)

have just cut me out of their lives.

I can accept the fact that there will be no more relationship with them.

But everytime I get one of these " attacks " from nada, I experience such severe

anxiety, that it interferes with my day to day life. I had a therapist tell me a

few years ago that it's due to Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and for a

while I got really good at handling this stuff. But for some reason, this time,

I just can't get a grip.

There is this awful pain I feel in the middle of my body. The only way to

describe it is that my heart hurts. It radiates. I can't get nada and sis out of

my head. My hands are always shaky. Sometimes I have shallow breathing. I can't

focus at work...I can't focus on anything good. It's worse than any physical

atrocity I've ever experienced.

Do any of you ever experience this? If so, how have you handled it? How do you

make it better?

In the past I just kind of rode it out. This time is rougher for some reason,

and I really need to be focused at work. And at home, I'm just a zombie.

What are some things that have helped you?

I thought about going to my Dr to try and get some temporary medication to calm

me down, but I feel really bad about asking for " nerve pills " . I don't want the

Dr to think I just want pills...know what I mean?

guidance here is appreciated.

Thanks,
