Yes I have been there as well, and I am still a sufferer, just on a lesser scale. You are probably reading this article because you have these symptoms or you know of someone that does for whom you care about. Its a long road let me tell you, If you had asked me 6 months ago if I had suffered from anxiety(I mean really bad anxiety) I would probably have looked at you funny! It can really creep up on you.

Now lets talk about how things can change seemingly so quick. You may be able to relate to these. Driving to work at 7 a.m. working all day not knowing when you're day will end, maybe you will work 8, 9 or even 10 hours today. Having your boss or bosses breathing down your neck about when you will be done with a particular project. Then the end of the day finally arrives and you need to rush to complete the required tasks for the day. So you have won the daily battle at work and know it is time to tackle rush hour traffic! boy I can't wait just when I thought I was home free!

I am sure a lot of you can relate to this type of work routine and most will have no problem with this, but sooner or later some of us just can't do it and it will eventually catch up to us, as it did with me.

You won't even realize it because it is so gradual, and then boom it will hit you like a freight train. I had no idea what was happening to me. Was I going to die? was I having a heart attack? No but I did develop panic attacks caused by excessive work related stress and anxiety.

Your body will send you signs that there are going to be attacks if something doesn't change and here is what symptoms I was having so listen up. Now I have left my last job about 6 months ago and when I look back at how I felt(I mean from a physical standpoint) I can tell you I was very irritable, my skin became very itchy and I was very sensitive to light and sounds. Perhaps you can relate to this as well.

So this was my body trying to tell me that something is wrong. This is referred to as the Fight or Flight state that is in all of us. It is very similar to when you would be face to face with a giant bear on his hind legs roaring at you as he is about to have you for lunch! You see your body really doesn't know the difference, it has the same effect from a physical standpoint.

I would like to close by saying that I do not wish to scare anybody with this information but to only make those aware of what is possible if you are feeling extremely stressed out with high anxiety. If you are feeling any of these symptoms I have talked about here, you may be headed for panic-disorder, just keep this in mind and try to change your current environment/situation whatever it may be.
