Lately I've been experiencing higher than normal anxiety at work. Nothing has changed in my work load nor are any of my bosses putting added pressure on me. I have my own quiet office where I sit throughout the day listening to music while reviewing financials.
I'll just be sitting at my desk and for no reason at all, I'll start to have panic attacks. Sometimes I'll jump out of my chair they're so strong. I'm just hoping that I'm not talking with someone and this comes on. So my generic question is, does anyone experience random panic attacks in the most comfortable situations? If so, have you done anything to help get rid of these? Any advice on what to do after this happens?
That's all I have today. Thanks to everyone who contributes on this site. We are not alone :)

I don't log in here very often, but when I do, I always find a familiar story that I can certainly relate too.
My latest conquest is switching meds. I've been on Lexapro for about 2 years now. It's worked for the most part, but has left me feeling somewhat numb to life. I rarely experience pure joy anymore. So at the advice of my doctor, I'm switching over to Pristiq to hopefully help with everything I suffer from. I believe the anxiety and panic attacks cause my depression. I've never been a depressed person, always was the man of the party, but since these have come on, I'm just not the same.
As always, I pray for all of you who suffer from these things like I do. Hopefully someday we'll kick this all together. But I'm never going to give up fighting that's for sure. And if I have to live with this, then so be it. It's not going to get me down anymore.....peace to all

So I have a flight in a few hours. This used to be my favorite thing to do :) Now my process involves getting there 2 hours early, listening to hypnosis on my ipod, and taking enough xanax to make it through the flight (last trip was 4 mgs!). Amazingly, this is an improvement. I used to throw back approximately 3 to 5 drinks on top of the xanax. I don't think I'm afraid of flying, I think I'm afraid of having the panic attack in front of others. In trying to live a life of perfection, showing strangers your imperfections is almost more terrifying.
Anyways, it's nice to know that there's actually a forum online to talk about this stuff and read others points of view. I wish everyone a panic free day today :) Now, it's time to live.
