Hello! I am new here and pretty new to anxiety, I think. I’ve never had a panic attack in my 35 years of life, until about two months ago.
I woke up in the middle of the night feeling like I couldn’t breathe and was dying. It’s happened maybe three or four times since then.
I went to the doctor and she prescribed me hydroxyzine for help to sleep. I haven’t had anymore panic attacks but I feel what i think is anxiousness all day everyday. I don’t have an appetite, I feel shaky, like I can’t catch my breath and maybe even a little depressed, which i’ve never suffered from before. I think this whole Covid-19 thing has affected me. I also had pneumonia in December and had to stay in the hospital for a few days. I think that could be affecting me too?
I found Claire Weekes book and felt so happy yesterday like I had found a cure, but today, the feelings have come back for most of the day.
I don’t want to get on medication, if I don’t have to but don’t know if what I am dealing with is depression or anxiety. Would Claire Weekes techniques help with both or just anxiety? Thank you so much for any advice you can give me!
