I too suffer from anxiety. Mine started many years ago and when the attacks first hit I really thought that I was having a heart attack. Then there was the all the time fear that really started to affect my daily life. It was at that point that I went to see my doctor. I am now on meds for depression that actually are helpful with the anxiety. For me the anxiety was a symptom of the depression. I am glad that you are going to see your doctor. Trust me you really dont want to try to handle this alone. I wish you well and hope that you feel better soon
