Hello!

I've been around :) Didn't disappear!

So recently I'm working alot, like 10 hours on alternate days and I'm feeling the heat. My Panic is under control most of the times but times like these i feel like i'm tired! Physical symptoms and what not, yes I know they'll pass but when it's onto you. Ugh! Not to mention i'm feeling that 'fear' we all know too well.

Mostly I'm feeling fatigued due to the work I'm doing, I think I need a break but sounds hard.

The thing is for the next few months I can't just give up and stop because I've just gotten a new house and need the cash. :(

Help~~~~~

Getting a new house, and its responsibilities and a larger workload at the job are two major stressors.
Make sure you getting enough sleep, or that will just pile on the anxiety.
Hope you feel better and Good luck!

Thanks! I was wondering if i have actually a nutrient deficiency! After reading another forumer's post on nutrient content i'm considering getting a test done on my body's minerals! Anyone ever did something similar?

Hi Rei!

I am sorry you are working such demanding hours and feeling stressed. :/

To answer your question...while I do believe that nutrition/vitamin sufficiency is a key component to anxiety management....it is only a part of the whole picture.

Continuing with your therapy, self help...and medication (when indicated) is crucial. :)

Congratulations on your new house...try to find a good balance between work and rest...and keep us updated on your situation, so we can keep you in support!

Try to take naps if/when you can. That always helps!

Maybe try to do one little thing for yourself during your long work days - a few minutes of breathing, a special little sweet snack, a few minutes playing a game on your phone - whatever makes you smile and relax for a few minutes.

Strength!

Thanks guys! I'm feeling alot better today! =D

Yesterday was absolutely horrible! But once again I'm pass the hurdle!

So apparently to prevent burnout, I've set a full saturday to relax and chill for the next few months. And I'd be planning a trip to a beach to get some peace after all these is settled! I totally need it :D

Rei,

I get that feeling occasionally...

...the key is not to focus in on the random feelings we get in our bodies. Most of the time, these little symptoms mean nothing...Our bodies are organic, and prone to all kinds of variations in how we feel

Take a look at 'The Super Scanner' link in our Resources. It explains the anxiety=symptoms=more anxiety = worsening symptoms cycle very well!

You are going to be alright. :)

Talk soon,

S.C.
