So mad that I can't Ben hav coffee without being a shakey mess ! Even if I'm not shaking on the outside I feel the whole inside of my body feels like it's vibrating its shaking so bad in there. Grrrr. I obviously refuse to stop drinking it so I guess I have to just deal with this foreveršŸ˜© I feel so yucky when I feel this way because I can't control it and I hate that. I also start to feel sick-ish !? It was the smallest amount left over in my Starbucks bottle from the other day. Maybe because in tired but can't sleep!?! I don't know!šŸ˜¢I'm in so much pain right now and if I take my pain medicine chances are it'll make the anxiety worse.. Not sure why but sometimes it makes it worse and over times it makes it better it's like 50/50 so I'm not going to take the chance right this second. Ugh. Now that we are home from the hospital with my son as of Sunday - my 5 year old daughter is now sick. I'm pretty sure she picked up something from the hospital - as I told her she would if she kept touching everything. I made her wash her hands every like 20 minutes but we were there for about 7 hours before being admitted so I knew it would happen. She's had a high fever 105 being the highest then taken down with meds. I may have to go back to the hospital with heršŸ˜ža new thing I'm having with anxiety is attacks in the car while driving. It's making it hard to do things. Yesterday I just cried while driving I felt like it just wasn't me! We are always out doing things I don't have time or patience for the attacks I just don't!!! And my mom tells me I need to stop I'm doing this to myself.. Little does she know in not!! It strikes whenever it wants to for no reason and leaves whenever it feels! She'll never understand anxiety, depression, and panic disorder!! I'm going to try and nap hoping it will help. Have a beautiful day yall!

Well first of all....STOP THE CAFFEINE...especially Starbucks. Can't you drink decaf? Regular coffee of any kind pushes me right over the edge into a full blown anxiety/panic attack so I would avoid that at all costs if I were you. And I'm sure part of the reason you can't sleep is from the caffeine too. I do everything in my power to try and avoid an anxiety/panic attack...and stopping coffee and chocolate are two of my biggest triggers. You need to take care of yourself in order to give yourself the greatest chance of beating your anxiety. And trust me, no one understands what anxiety/panic/depression really is unless they've had it....it would just be nice if the people close to us would be more compassionate and patient.

Well I stopped it for awhile and my migraines started back up really bad(and they still do regardless and excedrin is the ONLY thing that works and it has ally of caffeine in it!). I have three kids so I'm always on the go from 6 am until I'm the last one to go to sleep at night probably around midnight. I'm not getting good sleep and is hard to get out of bed with that "push". Also, one of the reasons why I chose to start drinking it again was because someone actually on here last year told me don't stop drinking coffee islf that's what I like because then anxiety has the control over me and I'm letting it control me by stopping the coffee. But I guess I'm going to have to stop. Because is still controlling me. I'll drink coffee in the morning and be anxiety ridden until I fall asleep at night! Other days I am fine with it! It's just so unpredictable you never know when it's going to strike. For me it's everyday - but some days are just simply better than others . Im sure you know that! But overall I guess you are right. I am going to have to find an alterntive for energy because this anxiety and panic is for the birds I literally can't even walk when it's this bad )-:

LMA,

I am the same way...most of the time caffeine is not an issue, and I can have my morning coffee no problem...but every once in awhile, it will affect me. Try to be sure that you eat, and don't drink any coffee on an empty stomach...that should help.

I am so sorry to hear your little girl is sick! :( 105? Poor dear! Yeah, if it gets that high again, I would bring her in so she is not at risk for dehydration.

You poor thing. I wish I could do something other than just send my sympathies and encouragements. You need some nearby support. Can you call a friend or relative if you need to?

You need to get rest in order to say well yourself! So try to sneak in that nap if possible today.

Sending thoughts of wellness, and peace to your household.

Let us know how you are all doing soon!

Healing hugs,

S.C.

LMA,

Quitting caffeine is really hard and it sounds like you need that little boost. I would suggest one of two things. Either switching brands of coffee you drink OR, when you go to SB, get a half-caff. My husband doesn't have panic but even he gets completely wound up by Starbucks, so he just gets half-caff and it makes all the difference.

If you make it at home, I used to drink Folgers half-caff and that was good, but even that bothered me so I had to switch to decaf.

I'm so sorry your kids have been sick! I hope everyone is well soon and remember to take care of yourself too!

Starbucks for sure is not the best choice...I stopped drinking that brand years ago...my friend's doctor told her something about the processing of this coffee can make fibroids even worse in her breasts...

I make 2 cups organic in the morning and add stevia, squeeze lemon in it, add a dolop of coconut oil....I've worked out a pretty clean healthy cup for me.

So sorry to hear all the anxiety issues here, I've had one PA that put me in the ER and now work on keep my calmness with my alternatives....I know many don't want to hear from me, but I drop in now and then. Meditation practice can do wonders too for the brain and our total being....make it a part of your lives, it can take 5-10 min of your busy days....and can change so much over longterm use....take care all.

I just posted more comments on the Power Up Meditation thread, so if you folks go over there to the Depression group, I've made some new comments.....

Jaminhealth,

Please don't think that we do not want to hear from you, or that we have no interest in alternative treatment options!

This could not be farther from the truth...

...the trouble only ensues when a member pushes his or her agenda in an uninvited fashion...or discounts proven effective medical protocol.

This is when it starts to be offensive, non-supportive and very close to breaking forum rules (yes, which all of our forum moderators are keeping a check on.)

This last post of yours however was on topic, answers the question posed...and of a helpful nature, so I thank you for that...and hope that this kind of support continues.

With that said...we should all get along quite well. :)

SC, guess with all the YEARS of my life and what I've worked with and what didn't work, I've arrived at what works...and just hate to see so many in so much distress...like a mother doesn't want her children to suffer...they do their best but often their children don't want to hear from their mother's years on this planet earth...so many children need to find their own way...my daughter has given me insights that I've adopted but I've given her more as I have more life experiences....jam

So power up and peace out...everyone!!!

Thinking back to my mom and I and she passed at 91...we lived 3000 miles apart when I moved to CA in the mid 60's...so we had a long distance MOST of our later lives...she wasn't close by to give me advice, but back then too, there were not the alternative helpers we know about today....she prayed a lot, that was her salvation as she had a hard life with dad..

When I got on grape seed ex in 1995 and found how much of an impact it on my me, I immediately called her and sent her bottles of grape seed ex as she always had colds and cold sores and I just knew it would be good for her. After on the grape seed ex for a couple weeks, I could hear her voice so much stronger over the telephone line, she was probably 86 at the time...then she told me she got no more cold sores....so what a victory that was...she lived 5 yrs more.

I can still hear her words: "J save your money"...I wish I had saved more, she was right. Jam
