My anxiety came from a few things that day - I was emailing back and forth with this gal I have been seeing (well, she is my g/f now...still a new relationship though), and I was worried that I opened up too much, then I went to a therapy group in the evening and talked about it, and I worried more and more about that I had opened up way too much. I wasn't sure if I should respond to my own email or call her and say I had said too much, but then I wasn't sure if that would make it even worse. So I was just worried alot about what this potentially new gal in my life was thinking of me at those moments.swordmaster wrote:Tommy, do you know what triggered your anxiety attack that day? Were you just tired and overwhelmed with too much going on? Or was there something else that kicked in that adrenaline? I have been feeling the same way the last few days due to a family member that is near impossible to deal with...I hope you are feeling better.
It became overwhelming and I couldn't handle it any more.
I've eased off the messages to her and am just trying to take the relationship easy and not judge it or myself too much right now. She is different very different than my ex-wife and my last serious g/f (first g/f after the long marriage ended) so I'm just trying to feel it all out.
The other thing that has really gotten me tired lately is depression - the postive self talk and meds are only helping so much - I have not been going swimming as much as I was and all my $$$ has gone towards bills - it's been rough to keep up with the bills since before XMAS and every time I get paid all but about 20 bucks goes towards bills or ex-wife/kids or rent, so that's been pretty stressful to think about as well. Trying not to think about money but it's hard when you want to go out and do something as simple as have a meal with your g/f but not have cash to do so. Time to get a new job if my review doesn't go well (thats another stress point).
