Before I went to a doctor my wife would have to hold me all night while I trembled and jerked until finally I would pass out from exhaustion. The Clonazepam helps with anxiety during the day, but is no cure for how I feel. My personality has been very edgy and I have a lowered tolerance dealing with people in any confrontations. In order for me to eat, I eat alone in quite areas. Little noises still cause me to choke on food, I'm easily spooked when I eat.
Liquids are easier to get down, but sometimes that's tough also.
The most stressful things for me that really start the anxiety are movies, restaurants, and any situation where I feel I have to sit and stay in one place. I even have difficulty swallowing my own saliva. The funny thing is I know all of this is crazy and in my head, but I can't seem to get a grip. Most people see me as highly intelligent and healthy looking. I'm wondering if someone else has these symptoms.
