Is it normal that I have an impending sense of doom?

  • Celexia, I think I have heard of that. Would you recommend me looking into that with a doctor?

    I do have a lot of problems with anxiety outside of this impending sense of doom that I feel constantly. It's strange too, because I have friends. I go to college. I'm decently social. But the anxiety seems to come on with no reason and no warning. My chest gets tight, my throat feels likes it's closing up. I have gotten really good at trying to remain calm while this is hallening. At first though, before I knew what was happening to me, I would panic. (Presumably making the problem worse.) But like I said, It has gotten a bit better.

    As for the sex with the bar girls, do you feel less anxious around people now? Do you think that is why you've been able to engage with people like that more often?

    • I feel much less anxious on Celexa and I am able to socialize with no reservations, where as before I was starting to become less outgoing for fear of a random panic attack. At one point I got to a place where I never wanted to leave my apartment apart from work.

      The chest tightness and the throat closing is something that would scare me into freaking out about problems I didn't have such as me thinking I couldn't breath right because of asthma! And right before I went to the doctor it was to the point that I had the tightness in my throat almost constantly.

      Every person is different, but the Celexa is something that has helped me out greatly! Even drinking with it, the only side affect I noticed was constipation the first few days, but my body because used to it and that problem went away too. I would definitely at least speak with a doctor and look into it!

      • The only thing to take note of is that Celexa takes between 1 and 2 weeks to build up in your body, with effects starting to be felt after around 4 days (at least for me) So it will take a few days, and not be instantly helpful.
