Severe bout of anxiety

First of all, hello everyone, I just joined. The first time I remember starting to have anxiety was when I was in Jr. high school, so about 10 or 11 years ago. It seems like when I was younger it happened much less frequently though. My anxiety comes and goes, usually flaring up several times a year, but severe flare ups only happen around twice a year. I've tried countless of SSRIs, even though those seem to be mainly for depression that didn't stop my old Dr. from prescribing them. None ever helped.

I've also tried therapy a couple of times but stopped going after a month or two, probably because I felt like progress wasn't being made fast enough. The only thing that seemed to truly help was benzodiazepines. I was only on them for a short time before weening off because my old Dr. was reluctant to prescribe them. Now I am currently 29 weeks pregnant so I can't take them anyway.

I apologize for such a long post but I wanted to give a little background before saying what I really want to post. I started having an anxiety flare up two weeks ago. It became worse and worse until this weekend it was so severe I was in an almost constant state of fear and kept bursting into tears all day long. Today hasn't been so bad, mainly because I've been too exhausted. My husband has had the past four days off of work and it's been nice to have him home during the day, for support and to do things with. He goes back to work tomorrow and now that bed time is drawing near I am starting to feel anxious again.

I don't know what to offer you except to see what your primary physician (again) who can refer you onto therapy (again)? Sometimes a solution doesn't always take hold the first try.
2 months isn't really a long time. It still may have been in an assessment stage where they are trying to determine the best course of action for you. Many doctors/therapists are reluctant to prescribe meds right away and sometimes things do move painfully slowly with little or no relief. Avoid caffeine and alcohol.
There are 12-step programs like Emotions Anonymous (EA) that have helped me with anxiety/panic/depression and simply listening to other peoples stories makes one feel much less alone with their issues.
I was surprised at the number of young people at the meeting, but there is much wisdom to be heard from member's stories and how they are able to better deal with the daily stresses.
Deep breathing/mind clearing has helped me and I have trained myself to do this in the early stages of trouble before things blow up into panic.
Having a supportive spouse is Golden.
Best of luck to you.
