Hi, I'm back again. Been struggling from anxiety, stress and depression lately. But I have been fighting this battle though, I never give up. I have been forcing myself to do something, get out from the house everyday. But still my negative thoughts always telling me the wrong way. My nervousness is getting worst. Pls tell me what to do. I almost have a panic attack yesterday. I went to my friends house just only for 1hr. Her house is just 2minutes away from. I told her I need to go home. Then when I'm in the house I took my Xanax, it calms me down. I slept like a baby. But today it's happening again. My heart rate is racing like crazy. I don't know why. I did a little bit of cardio exercise today like 15minutes then I cried because I really hate what I feel. I can't concentrate I can't focus to my self or to what I really want. I got a short fused towards my dog. I just change my insurance into medical I am no longer a Kaiser. Now I am waiting where can I go for check up. I don't know if this what I feel cause of my menstration. My last day is yesterday. pls help me how to control my heart rate and what's best exercise for that pls. I am trying to get well with out any medication.

Aw, Bik...:(

I am sorry you are struggling right now friend. However, your loss is still very new...and I feel this is completely normal for your circumstances now.

You simply need time to grieve, heal...recover from your fresh shock and sadness that you are naturally feeling.

Keep up the great work...

...and you are doing amazingly well!!

Be patient with yourself and the process.

Keep exercising...keeping it slow and steady, and building up as your body allows.

There are youtube videos for regulating your heart rate with meditation and music...would you like me to post for you?

Keep talking with us friend. We are here for you always!

Hi Bik,
Our hormones news play a big role for anxiety.I can relate to you on so many levels.My anxiety keeps me on my toes and heavily distracted .I cannot focus on stuff that's important.
Do not do heart racing cardio as it amps your hormones and messes with anxiety.
I only do slow paced walking if I can due to that reason.I cannot take sauna for exactly same reason.

Rest do not worry and try to be on a medication that helps you in day to day functionality .
We are here to support.Write here any time.
Xanax is a good med to calm you ,I also take it.

Good luck !

Pls SC, thank you so much. I don't know why I'm scared every time like for example the daughter of my husband will tell me ahead of time like I'm going out and she will come back late and I'm alone. What I do always I will tell them I'm going out too.i never stay in the house. I did before for 4hrs that's the longest one. It's like I'm always anxious. I'm always alone anyway. Good thing I always talk to my friends or family. How to stop being anxious and nervous always? Pls help

Thank you cilly, I guess I need to practice the yoga instead and the meditation? I mixed my exercise everyday, I do running, jumping jack, squating, all about cardio.. I will try to do yoga tomorrow. It's like the more my heart rate is fast the more I am nervous.. I hate it.. I thought I already manage my anxiety.

Bik,

Here is a link for a heart rate lowering meditation...be sure to check out the others in the side bar as well...and try a few to find the one you like the best. Practice daily, and you will see a difference with time and effort! :)

As far as the alone time challenge...how about joining a group for widows, or checking out a Grief Share meeting? I know you have good friends, and have been making great steps by visiting them...

...but there is just something about sharing with others who know exactly what you are going through that really helps.

Can you look around your area or on-line perhaps, for something like this. I know some churches host Grief Share groups.

You always have us as well...so keep posting. We will always be here for you.:)
