I swear I’m terrified of nearly everything anymore. Things like sunlight, going outside, snow, hearing or seeing cars, the morning, other people, and even being in my house send this paralyzing fear threw me. It sucks! I’m always shaking, involuntarily rocking back and forth, and having what I assume are some sort of panic attacks.
Is anyone else like this or am I alone?
PS: Meds have yet to help

Yes I have. My body is in a constant state of high alert. My muscles are always tense. Smallest things even my Grand Daughter saying she loves me makes me want to cry yet sets my teeth to grinding. What kinds of meds have they given you to help this?
Thank you for you’re response. Right now I’m on Latuda and Citalopram. I’ve tried Abilify, Seroquel, and Clonazepam, but…as i said, nothing has helped yet. Do you take anything? (if you don’t mind me asking)
When my body and mind cannot handle anymore I take alprazolam, the generic for xanax. I have used alcohol but my tolerance is low and I get stupid and clutzy and can hurt myself which then on top of being tense makes me feel physically worse the next day. Don`t drink enough for a hangover so not that kind of pain.
Here is one explanation:
The unforgiving mind is full of fear, and offers love no room to be itself; no place where it can spread its wings in peace and soar above the turmoil of the world. The unforgiving mind is sad, without the hope of respite and release from pain. It suffers and abides in misery, peering about in darkness, seeing not, yet certain of the danger lurking there.
The unforgiving mind is torn with doubt, confused about itself and all it sees; afraid and angry, weak and blustering, afraid to go ahead, afraid to stay, afraid to waken or to go to sleep, afraid of every sound, yet more afraid of stillness; terrified of darkness, yet more terrified at the approach of light. What can the unforgiving mind perceive but its damnation? What can it behold except the proof that all its sins are real?

Nice. Thank you
