Had the weirdest anxiety onset yesterday...

[possessedgoddess]

I was just taking my usual walk and all of a sudden my mind started drifting to EVERYTHING that could possibly go wrong. I thought for sure that someone was following me and that I was going to get jumped and robbed. I can't necessarily call it an attack, it was pretty minor and I didn't have THAT many physical symptoms, but it did happen and it's the first time it's happened in awhile.
For people who don't know, I do suffer from generalized anxiety disorder, and I have hyperventalated a few times in my life due to it. Most likely it was from me taking 20 mg rather than my regular 40 mg of lexapro. Guess I'm not ready to wean off of it quite yet.

i used to be extremely anxious when i was about 13 and they put me on a bunch of pills that made me feel un human. after a while i quit taking the meds and i became a dedicated pot head and have been ever since. ive mostly overcome my anxiety through forcing myself to rationalize, i.e. yelling at myself in my head.

but yes, i do that all the time. i walk the same route home every day, and have been forever. and recently ive just had this paranoid sensation that makes me take my headphones out and walk down the middle of the street and continuously look behind me. one night some guy was on the other side of the street acting sketch and eventually crossed to my side. i walked all the way home with 911 dialed and my finger on the button.

sorry for the rant. i ramble frequently.

No that's totally fine. It's just good to know that I'm not the only one who feels this kind of paranoia :)
