Hi guys, I'm sorry for not being active here in the forum 😔 How are you guys doin? Me, same thing. Anxiety, stress, depressed here and there.. I never had a panic attack anymore that's good news 😄.. But my gosh my head is always heavy or I got head ache.. And it feels like from my neck to my top of head I feel so hot, this is everyday I feel now.. It sucks because I don't know what to do.. Do you guys know what kind of food or green vegetables or a diet to boost the energy back on track? And be positive in life? I'm just thankful that I found a few friends in my community.. Went out with them 2x a week sometimes.. But why I'm still the same, it didn't change.. Anxiety sucks and it leads me sometimes to be depressed for no reason.

Hi Bik!!

You are on your way!! :) :) :)

No more panic attacks? That is HUGE progress!! Celebrate this for a while.:)

The rest is a process, and will get better with time and some efforts on your part.

You are seeking to eat healthy...wonderful! This is an important part of feeling your best. A balanced plan of whole grains, fruits and vegetables, lean proteins and dairy...as well as healthy fats are key.

How about exercise? Physical exercise is really crucial for anxiety management.

It is great that you are going out with friends and being socially active. ..good job!! Keep that up.:)

As far as positivity...how are your coping skills coming along? Are you practicing any currently? Saying positive mantras...using therapy worksheets to change negative thinking...as well as meditation and journaling will all help to keep your mood happier in general.:)

Keep talking with us as well...we are here to listen friend.:)

Thank you SC and Hibee 😊😍💋

Planning to go for check up, I have a problem with my stomach lately. Woke me up in a middle of my deep sleep sometimes. I know it is cause of anxiety but I don't get it why even I have been eating it seems I never get fulled.. I have to eat a lot before I go to bed, I know it's weird but I notice when I do that I am okay when I wake up in the morning. Maybe this is ulcer or something.. In terms of exercise, i went for swimming and of course with the life jacket lol, I don't know how to swim 😁.. Enjoying the sun while its still summer. I do it every other day. Spend 1 hr or more in the water With my dog..Feels good when sun shine in your face and enjoy the water.. That's okay right? I mean spending your time in the water is the best therapy? Planning to do jogging or running on winter. I research that winter is not good for depressed people like I am.. I mean the weather though.. I already have my plan I hope I will apply it just not saying it but in action too.. Trying to change my life one step at a time

tongue   :-) turn :-) cool

You ROCK Bik!!  I love that you are swimming and enjoying the current  weather...and making plans for the colder months...well done!!

Yes, go get your stomach checked out.  When my anxiety was high, I too thought I had an ulcer, but did not...just high acid, which may be causing your empty/gnawing/hunger symptoms?

Keep up the good work, like I said, it is a process...and you are moving in a good direction for sure!

Talk soon!

Yay!! No more panic attacks!!! That's great news! I find waking and yoga helps my mood and makes me happier. Also positive affirmations boost my mood! I subscribe to a few Facebook,Pinterest and Instagram pages for affirmations...it helps:)

Thank you Beth, I will do that too.. I never use my breathing exercise lately. But I keep telling myself to calm down. Like if I'm so excited or rushing my adrenaline is everywhere that's why maybe I got a butterfly in my stomach and leads to nauseous.. I just don't get it why my head is hurting though, aside from head ache. It's like a shooting pain in the side of my head or sometimes in top of my head.. I'm avoiding not to take Xanax.. I will research the positive affirmations as what you said will subscribe on that too.. I have been down lately and negatives thought going on in my head.. Anxiety sucks.. Thank you for replying on my post..
