Cognitive Behavioral Therapy-Get a psychologist whom specializes in this & in panic disorders....
Carey, I'm a 23 year old girl and got the same stuff. Headaches, tired, vertigo, it's a real downer, I dealt with it like you're doing for 6 months before almost completely recovering for another 6...
Honey I'd switch meds, that's what it was like when I started taking Effexor, some meds just don't work right with your body and you can usually tell pretty quickly....
I've gone a good 5 or 6 months pretty much free from attacks or bad anxiety and now that I've started therapy back up (I got in a program for my eating disorder) the attacks are back, and though now...
Thanks scaredycat and thanks wingman, I appreciate it so much :)...
oh man that is the total worst isn't it? You're gonna just have to keep doing these things but instead of getting distressed if you do get anxious just look at it as practice. Prove that anxiety...
You know once you realize that the root of anxiety is the focus you put on your symptoms it gets a lot easier, BUT sometimes you just can't tame the freakin dragon; night anxiety can be a son of a...
Anxiety, Thank you for making me a stronger person. Thank you for compelling me to learn more about myself. Thank you for shoving me into therapy. Thank you for bringing me face to face with my...
Have you been checked for ulcers?...
Hey Mike, the exact same thing happened to me today, it kind of got me down. It's normal, you'll make it through, just try to get back on track with everything....
No matter how bad you think your breathing is, you are breathing fine. Just tell yourself that and visualize something or someone as you breathe because just focusing on the breathing itself as you...
btw they do work well I use them to help me focus. great for skin too....
I don't see why not omega 3s are in fish and if you can eat fish you can probably take a supplement......
THATS GREAT! :)...
You guys, 5-HTP and inositol work really well. Also CBT is HUGE. *knock on wood*...
oh just Google it there are lots of natural things :)...
Anxiety LOOOOOVES hypocrondria. Seriously, it will take it if it's in you and have a FIELD DAY. Trust me, I jumped from a moving car and got 20 cm of stitches from hitting my head on the gravel and...
Two things: 1. I just started 5-HTP, has anyone tried this for depression/anxiety? Has it helped you and what were your side effects? How did you deal with them? On a side note I seem to have a mild...
Oh yeah. When your hormones are wacky, everything tends to go into SuckTown. But try to stay positive, you have a network of people who can totally relate and are here for you! I'd also look for some...
LOL!!! You all are too cute....
Thanks stkitt, that's what my psychologist told me. I know that I've had general anxiety for a while, and can even root some attacks back to being a teenager, apparently it tends to come on most...
I've been dealing with this panic thing since last June now and it just doesn't seem to give me much of a break. Sometimes I'll go a week or two with low stress and then an attack will spiral me into...
Thanks guys. Yeah those two components seem to have a lot to do with it. Are any of you seeing a psychologist? I don't take caffiene or do any meds but I'm trying to work it out all on my own and...
this was all very helpful, thanks u guys! Yeah I was checked for hypoglycemia but nothing turned up...when I dont eat though I get bad panic and start shaking....
I work at a coffee shop, and I was working tired because I've been restless the past week, hungover because I'd been drinking, and I hadn't ate much so I was pretty hungry. We were in the middle of a...
Here's the thing, when you sort of relapse into anxiety you're prone to being more anxious after an attack. It seems like it's a lot harder to control anxiety after a bad episode because of the...
by the way if you want to ween off of the 37.5 mg dose you can actually unscrew the caplet and take half of it for a week, then take a half every other day, then stop...I know I was very weary of...
oh God I HATED Effexor. They tried to put me on that, I didn't sleep for 3 days and lost 4 lbs. I was miserable. The doctor told me that's just a case of that medication not being right for you. Ask...
When your heart is going fast you can regulate it by doing full body exercise for 5 minutes. It will regulate itself. Also the effects of just 30 min exercise is astounding on anxious people- you can...
Oh yeah been there done that. Do you stress a a lot about getting enough sleep? Do you stress about sleep before you sleep, and when you don't get enough sleep, stress about how that'll effect your...
How funny I was wondering this exact same thing, tehehe :)...
Oh yeah stress can make it seem like your body is falling apart when in reality it is fine. Just make sure not to turn into a hyrochondriac because that makes the anxiousness way worse. Your body is...
awesome I'll check into that, thanks guys /community/emoticons/turn.gif ...
It's good to know I'm not the only one doing this stuff without medicine! :tongue:...
I have heard of the BCOMPLEX being good so thank you I'll look into that. There are times that it is easier but the hardest, most reoccurring thought for me is, will it go on for the rest of my life?...
Thank you both so, so much, I was having such a rough morning and this really helped me out. God bless you. I had jumped out of my car because I thought it was going to catch fire and the accelerator...
Candlegirl said... I just started 5 HTP yesterday and it is a little early for me to tell the a real difference. I think my anxiety is a little less today but I am wondering if it is the placebo...
I was looking into trying this too, have you yet? If I do I'll keep you posted....
I would really suggest couples therapy. If he's not willing to do that then maybe he's not willing to fix the marriage. I agree with others saying you should see a therapist yourself. Also really try...
Hey you guys, I got in a car accident 7 months ago and afterwards I started having bad anxiety, which really triggered when I started working again. I'd cut my head open 20 cm, and thankfully didn't...
