43yo male, tech job, family, kids, hobbies. Always lived a busy life and high output. Life has been great, no health issues. Four days ago that changed and everything points to sever anxiety disorder. Waking in the middle of the night from sound sleep to full body tremors, crying, thinking I’m dying. Brain fog during the day. Scheduling to see dr to get the ball rolling on whatever. Against all good judgement (and likely to get roasted for this) a friend gave me some Xanax which has helped me when the anxiety and attacks come on. I’m scared, hoping it’s not something more major. We know where our thoughts can go with this, especially researching online. Hope to learn a lot with the readings here.
