Q: Is It Anxiety?

Lately I think i've started having anxiety or panic attacks, but i'm
not sure. Twice this week my heart began racing out of control, like I was afraid of something but I don't know what. Along with that I had a sinking feeling. Kind of a very unworldly, lonely feeling. I was really concerned that I might be going crazy. I thought about seeing a doctor but am more worried just be put on some medication. I found a list of anxiety symptoms at www.Selftherapy.Org , which has calmed me down a bit as it's sounds quite like what experiencing. Has anyone every tried
that program? Or have any other suggestions? Does this sound like
anxiety??

That definantly sounds like anxiety...I have the same prob. I've went to the er b/c of those. I know how u feel about the med's iam scared to take stuff...You know all the side effects, and I don't wanna have to rely on something all day everyday...I just wanna be normal u know? My problem is I feel out of it all the time, like i'm in a dream!!! I don't really get the rapid heart beat and stuff much anymore...Now I don't know about that site you were talkin about, i'm gonna go check it out though. Hang in there!!
