    hi.

    I am glad to have found this site. It was listed on trumblr. I had my 1st panic attack in 1998 or 1999. Over the years, I've managed to control it through a low-dose of lorazepam. Recently, my anxiety and possibly depression skyrocketed due to a continuous string of stressors at work, family (deaths of loved ones) and health (had gallbladder surgery in Feb). I'm feeling really overwhelmed. No matter how I try to face it, accept the situation and not run, I am not winning so far. It has worsened my IBS and resulted in gastritis (no ulcer, but doctor says it's at an inbetween stage of inflammation). Meds have made me feel more sick and I couldn't function at work with them.

    Hope to get some community support and understanding from being with people who get what I'm going through!

    Hi and welcome to the forum! I can relate to anxiety giving you stomach issues. I had severe acid reflux attacks at my last job due to anxiety.

    As Monowheat said, it's pretty supportive here.

    Again, welcome!
