> I have thoughts (at the same time weird feelings in my head and body) that enter my mind and i can't help it. I mean if your listening to what i am saying i am saying that i do not know where they comef rom i have never seen anything like it. I can only describe it as psycho. I feel that iam holding on to the very little sanity ihave left.
> Is this normal. I just fel outta control.. I mean literally i have felt that i need to tie myself up or something for fear i can't control myself andi don;t want to hurt myself or have my mind completely take over and this sounds f---ing crazy!! Never mind. I just want you to know that i use to be a normal person and in April is when my "anxiety" started. My doctors say i have anxiety.. I think it is more than that. Does anyone here have debilitating anxiety.. That is what my doctor says i could have. I guess it is the worse kind of anxiety. Help me out,
> I just want to knwo if anyone has felt this way or basically want to know the most extreme cases of anxiety that is on this site. thanks. pass tis info to friends on here that might not have seen this thread. I could use all the imput i can get.

> Amy (former noraml person :) )Amy,
I can understand how you feel. I've been there.
I was always an anxious person -- even remember being anxious back in 1st grade. But when I hit 40 the anxiety became unbearable. Similar to what you are describing. I was scared, embarassed, and I suffered for awhile before asking for help. Are you getting help? What medications did your doctor prescribed? There is help for you and you are most certainly not alone.By the way, Amy, you are a normal person. I really believe that people who suffer from General Anxiety Disorder are born with too little serotonin. We become hypersensitive due to no fault of our own. I've been put on EFFEXOR XR with great success. I can take deep breaths which to some people wouldn't be a big deal, but I can take a huge, relaxing deep breath. I can enjoy life again. It is great. Hang in there.
