When will it end

[Espinoza38]

Just woke up and I'm in a full blown anxiety. I want to run and scream but can't everyone still asleep. Someone talk to me.

[Ayla-Kat]

Hi, Espinoza. You know me. 😻I am up again. I am sorry about the anxiety attack. I'm here just trying to help people to keep me from worrying.

What is keeping you up love? If you want to private message me. I can do that

😻 Ayla-Kat

I was perfectly find asleep and I woke up i guess I felt the anxiety coming on and now I'm awake shaking and my left arm feels tense. I'm doing my best not to panic but it's getting hard lol.

[Ayla-Kat in reply to Espinoza38]

Oh, sweetie. I wish I could help. I sometimes curl in a ball on my stomach and tense really tight then release.

[Espinoza38 in reply to Ayla-Kat]

I'm trying to walk around my room and clean but it's hard when everyone still asleep. The good thing is that everyone will be up in a bit. But God this feels ugly doesn't matter how many times I get anxiety attack I'm never going to get usto it.

[Ayla-Kat in reply to Espinoza38]

Distraction is good. It's going to take awhile even when it's ugly. Someone mentioned it took 14 years to get over panic attacks. I was like woah! Tenacity and perseverance. Pray for the day it disappears. Hope you feel a little relef😻

[Espinoza38 in reply to Ayla-Kat]

I'm praying and breathing and begging for this to stop. I think I've been on and off with these anxieties since I was 27 I'm 37 now so by the time I'm 41 I should be good lol.

[Ayla-Kat in reply to Espinoza38]

Sounds good darling. I'm 43 and at least I got the twitching fixed, the vitamin d deficiency and sleep apnea taken care of. In due time😻

[Espinoza38 in reply to Ayla-Kat]

I take vitamins but at times I forget to take them. I need to take them all on a daily basis. I dislike these anxieties I want to cry.

[Ayla-Kat]

close your eyes , breathe through your nose, hold your breath and release.

[Espinoza38 in reply to Ayla-Kat]

Why must our muscles tense up In our arms, why must our bellies hurt. Why do I feel like I'm a die. Even tho I know I'm ok.

[Ayla-Kat in reply to Espinoza38]

I am not a physician but I use to get muscle twitches from a magnesium deficiency. You can take transdermal magnesium lotion for tense muscles. Or Calm Magnesium drink. Although warning it will make you poop regularly .

[Espinoza38 in reply to Ayla-Kat]

I've heard of that. Well if it'll make me up it's kinda ok. But I do have alot of neck tension but I also messed up my neck lifting weights.

[Ayla-Kat in reply to Espinoza38]

Try getting a towel and tying a rope at two ends and placing it on your door knob. Rest your head on the cradle. My friend has bad neck tension. You can find it on YouTube. Or visit a chiro. I know I spew a lot of things but maybe some thing might work. All you can do is try.

[Espinoza38 in reply to Ayla-Kat]

Agreed I do neck exercises to relieve the tension and it does help me alot. But right now im trying to keep my mind clear. My mind keeps telling me I'm a end up in the hospital. Why do our minds do that. I know I'm a strong person I know. Now I'm crying.

[Ayla-Kat in reply to Espinoza38]

It is just an obsessive though, sweetie. There is no need for the hospital. You are healthy. My brain is stubborn like that and it focuses on negative thoughts. Our ancestors survived by worrying and . . Planning They worried about harvests and famine.

It's okay to cry. It brings relief. I cried today. I felt so alone.

[Espinoza38 in reply to Ayla-Kat]

Crying does make me feel better. But I dislike feeling this way, I know we all do and I know some people have mastered it. I think I'm also this way because I haven't gone to the gym. I took a whole week off because I needed to rest my muscles. Why did you cry?

[Ayla-Kat in reply to Espinoza38]

Some people are confident and have a good sense of self. I grew up with an emotionally distant narcissistic mother. My father was not around because he was in the military.

I am really alone. I can't rely on anyone for emotional support. I always worry that I will get sick that I can't take care of myself . My mother would react in shame and say I am weak.

I have to support myself financially but it always a struggle with GAD

I know long. But thanks for asking😻

[Espinoza38 in reply to Ayla-Kat]

I'm sorry you had to this alone. My mom called me weak a few times also. I know we are strong. I know you are strong because you are on here helping me and others. You are an awesome person for that. I fear the same that I'll get sick and no one will help me. But I've been blessed with living with my sister and our kids. We do our best to support each other but I know she gets frustrated with me. Well I may not be of a big help but I'm here I'll listen.

[Ayla-Kat in reply to Espinoza38]

Thank you. You are blessed to be surrounded by love and family. Just your presence helps. Thank you. I hope you feel better and can go to the gym again.

What about hot Epsom salt baths. There I go again with the ideas.

Have a great morning. I hope your anxiety subsides soon😻 Ayla-Kat

[Espinoza38 in reply to Ayla-Kat]

Honestly it's hard to take baths here at my house lol. Showers are quick even tho we have 2 restrooms but it's 7 of us. I've tried it on my fit to relax.

My anxiety has subsided a bit but I still feel it in my chest. I wish the anxiety was in my small pinky toe. Lol.

My muscles are still tense.

[QuitaR]

Praying for you this morning

[Espinoza38 in reply to QuitaR]

Thank you thank you. I really appreciate it

Hi Espinoza

Sorry you are feeling anxiety. Remember it will past and you will be fine. Still keep with the cleanning it will distract you from thinking. Thinking seems to be one of the roots of anxiety. If you can do breathing inhale softly through your nose on count of 8 exhale through your mouth on count of 4 do it twice stop and then repeat and see if this does not take the edge off the anxiety attack.
