Well, as someone who hardly ever took an aspirin before my anxiety attacks, I can tell you that taking one small pill a day or so is much better than fearing death every day.

Just a thought. :)

Ill take that into conscideration thanks :)

And what worries me too is that often when i walk outside i get heavy chested, short of breath get a headache and i have lil lightnings in my heart those are anxiety related? Is it cause i dont exercise enough or cause i focus on it? I just dont understand and it bothers me and scared me and keeps me worried... I really dont get it? Any people ever got that?

Hey Wiki

I had an uncle with heart attack anxiety all his life. He lived with us when I was a little girl and he was probably in his 30's then with the same anxiety. I can't tell you how many times he went to the hospital thinking he was having a heart attack. My father had 9 brothers and sisters. My dad passed away 13 years ago. This uncle I speak of was the last living sibling of my dad and he passed away recently at the age of 86. Never had a heart attack in his life time.

May your mind become at ease.

All my best

Well, making changes for the better, one step after another! :)

I hope that you enjoy your vacation and can get some good practice at your coping skills while you have some time. Getting out for daily walks and doing the breathing and meditative exercises will help relieve many of your symptoms, I am sure.

Things are going to get better...it just takes time. The anxiety did not come on all at once...it was a progressive build. So is the recovery/management process.

Best wishes on your new job! I hope that it is a great move for you, and one that will bring you much satisfaction and pride.:)

Keep us updated okay?

I thought I had posted these before...whoops, my bad.  I just read through your thread, and I see I posted health anxiety links for you...but not these.

These are absolute gold for managing anxiety.  Practice them (pick your favorites) 3x a day for a week and see how you feel.;)

Today was in my opinion my first victory day :) i had and still have some kind of incomforts heart side but here in Quebec we are going through a big heat wave so it prolly is due to that... But i didnt panic, i actually chose not to care... Ok i still have a headache but im pulling the heat card one more time... But i actually went outside alone anyway even if i was feeling bad and today i played my bass and i even watched an horror movie which i got an extensuve collection and am a big fan of but i had stopped watching them in case they'd make me panic... But today i did all those things! I really did! And im proud of myself and my girlfriend told me she was proud of me too :) it felt awesome! wearyRAsufferer's grandpa story and the leaflet really helped me!!! Thanks a whole lot for all your support everybody... Im not out of the woods but for the first time im on the right track! I feel more confident in myself and i feel everything is possible now i might even rejoin my band soon :) i had stopped cuz i was scared id panic or feel heart symptoms on stage! But im thinking of going back now! Thanks a lot you people are amazing human beings!

Cheers!!!

Great job on today and your turn around with your attitude towards the anxiety!!

When you push a little beyond what you think you can do...it is often a step in the right direction, which can lead to the start of recovery!

Accepting that though the symptoms are there...the fact that you can cope with them, and use your new skills (support, self help and postive thinking) is a powerful discovery.

Keep up the good work...and keep us updated.:)

Posted 6/27/2014 2:47 AM (GMT 0)
You can beat this Wiki- you can! Deep breaths- Mantra- this is only anxiety and it WILL pass. It's (FEAR) False- Evidence- Appearing -As- Real

Good job today! It proves you can overcome this!

All my best!

Got your back Wiki- I'm going to bed for the night and you'll be in special prayers.
Posted 6/27/2014 3:04 AM (GMT 0)
Thank you very much! This forum helps me a lot :)

Wiki that's awesome.. Even one good day is enough to celebrate. Keepin digging in your heels and pushing forward. It's good to do what you enjoy. I almost let my anxiety keep me from a visit with my sisters, when my anxiety was at it's worse. I used to get my anxiety and panic while driving so it hindered me from going places. I got some spiritual CDs and listen to them while driving now, and it keeps me distracted from my fear. You can do it. I don't know if it will help, but right now our humidity is awful, and the allergies are too where I'm at. Lately going outside my chest has been uncomfortable too because the air quality. Taking some Benadryl helps a bit. Since it makes me drowsy I take it before bed.. Good luck to you continuing what makes you happy.

Please do.. I've done much better myself lately, but if you read my posts from a year ago when I found this place I was beside myself.. I have a 12 year old girl who is my world. It was starting to affect her because I was to afraid to drive with her. Although I wouldn't tell her that not wanting her to worry.. But she missed out on birthday parties for her friends etc.. I've accepted that I have anxiety and I worry.. I've accepted I have real physical symptoms from it.. But I am going to enjoy every possible thing I can. I am glad you are gonna get to enjoy your passions too..

Sounds exciting! all the best to you!
Posted 6/28/2014 4:32 AM (GMT 0)
You know it's funny some days are great and then others anxiety pops up and even though I KNOW these symptoms are from my anxiety, it messes with me and I worry about something serious.
I get many physical symptoms when my anxiety strikes and for the past few years one of them has been left arm tightness/pain, heaviness etc. It just feels weird. I think I just have extra tension there coming from my shoulder or the way I do stuff with that arm, but every time I feel that, I worry about a heart attack! It's essentially the same sensation every time, yet every time I worry. :(
I could use a little reassurance at the moment. I'm getting that feeling in my left arm again and i'm alone because i'm dog sitting for a family friend.
I did have a soda AND an iced coffee today, as well as a beer earlier this evening. I'm sure it has something to do with the caffeine and my day, but I just hate the feeling!

I don't like feeling "out of control" of my body, even though I know I just need to relax, breathe deeply and avert my thoughts to something positive and let it all pass.

Sometimes we know what to do but our mind gets the best of us.
I'm sure you guys can relate?

Thanks for the support.

Also Wiki i'm proud of you for getting back to doing the things you love. Enjoy the bass…I play trumpet. :) Music is a great way to get our mind off of these things…I just can't play now because it's too late here!
