Hi- Most people @ some time in their life suffer from anxiety. BEEN THERE DONE THAT! It may be caused by a situation in ur life. It may be caused by ur hormones.It is normal, and everybody is @ risk 4 this at one time or another. You ask about personal anxiety..I have had situations in my life (I'm 45) that have caused me GREAT anxiety, to the point that I went to the Dr. and did get a prescription to help me during this ANXIOUS TIME IN MY LIFE. I had a few anxiety attacks during this time, and those are AWFUL!! When one suffers from a Panic Attack, you feel as if you are having a heart attack & that you are going to drop over dead- THAT was my own experience with the panic attacks, again, everybody is different. Some people "frown" on medications for anxiety, but, if you have a Dr's order, stating that you need a mild anti-anxiety medication, there is NOTHING to be ashamed of. I was prescribed Xanax for the anxiety. Anxiety was caused by a divorce, the ex stalking me, to the point I had to get a Restraining order. He was relentless, and scary, as he was very VERY abusive. Beat me up, broke items that were precious to me, and dehumanized me in each and every way possible-AND THAT WAS AFTER THE DIVORCE. I slept with one eye open and the other one 1/2 shut.It was a HORRIBLE time in my life. ENOUGH ABOUT ME..I HOPE THAT UR ANXIOUSNESS WILL RESOLVE, IT USUALLY DOES, BUT, IF YOU CONTINUE TO EXPERIENCE THIS, THERE IS NO SHAME IN GOING TO THE DR. IF THIS BECOMES A PATTERN. THERE IS HELP OUT THERE WHEN THE ANXIETY IS EFFECTING UR EVERYDAY LIVING. GOOD LUCK TO YOU- HOPE THIS HELPED YOU- TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF!
Yep. I cant descfibe it but im sure it ill be over by the end of the week.
I used to have anxiety. Relax; it's nothing to worry about.
when i get anxious, its because i'm in a situation that makes me nervous, and some times i get so nervous i puke. lately i've been puking 1-3 times a week. But today i'm going to the doctors and they might be giving me anxiety medicine. i'm nervous, becuase my doctor isnt sure yet if he wants to give it to me, and i really hope he will because i need/want it. but i'm scared to start taking medicine. i hope i dont have to many negative side effects.
I suffer from bad anxiety. I'm always nervous and worry that people don't like me. I'm basically a loner and don't socialise much. I have bad itching episode and night sweats. I also used to self-harm, have had a problem with food and had nervous breakdowns.
You get by because you have no choice. I know I'm here for a reason. But it's tiring every day knowing that when you try to make things better you get doors slammed in your face.
There are so many people of all ages and cultures that suffer from this. It can be brought on by stress, overwork, family problems anything can trigger it. You have to learn relaxation methods and deep breathing and do things to keep busy so you do not dwell on stuff.Only do things YOU want to and don't be forced into things that make you nervy or jumpy. Keep a small light on at night if it helps and listen to calming tapes of waves or rain showers etc. Talk to friends and family and if all fails do speak to your doctor or a counsellor about it. I battled with it and did all of the above and I am not cured but am a whole lot better. I was worse at nighttime as my thoughts went wild etc. A herbal supplement from the health shop (valerian or hops) will also keep you calm and worryfree. Speak to a pharmacist also for general help. Good luck
dizzy, short of breath, faint, chest pain etc etc
oh to have a week without a panic attack how sweet would that be...until then Xanax is my drug of choice.
