Danquit Posted December 1, 2016 Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 I was doing ok up until this past weekend, all of the sudden, I was hit with massive anxiety attack on Saturday and it's been a rough week ever since. Is this some sort of milestone at seven months? I couldn't leave the house all week! Help me to understand why this is happening. I was doing so well.

LILTEX41 Posted December 1, 2016 Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 What was the anxiety attack all about? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluemoon Posted December 1, 2016 Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 Hey Danquit, I am not sure what the reason for it is, but I and many others here also experienced very severe and intense anxiety around the 6-7 month mark. Search my post titled "Crippling anxiety" that I posted in June. You are not alone, and it does get better! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danquit Posted December 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2016 I bought a car (used) but it was a pretty big purchase and I guess the purchase triggered a massive anxiety attack because I kept thinking what if I lose my job and couldn't make the payments and so on. The thoughts just kept going until I was in a panic. It got better after a few days and after about a week it was gone. I remember before Adderall I would make big life changing decisions all the time and was never worried like I am now. I know this is a part of my recovery and I know that it will get better with time. I just wish it would happen sooner. Thanks for all your support, there's no way I could go through this without your guys' input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluemoon Posted December 10, 2016 Report Share Posted December 10, 2016 Oh yeah, me and Frank were totally losing our shit at 7 months lol. Buying a car is a big thing! It's normal to feel a little anxious. Especially so early in recovery. I promise it will get better 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
