I had this too, with me it got worse the more I thought about it the worse it got, I know its not easy, I had no control over my thoughts I almost felt crazy. Breathe and wait for it to pass. at least you know what it is and you can get help.

I thought it was tremors but at the hospital they told me it might be the cause of my axiety .

I remember It like it was yesterday, my shakes got so bad and the tension headaches were massive, are you seeing a therapist of some sort? that helped me too. I am not a big fan of meds so those were taken only on extreme emergency for me. I learned a lot of breathing and relaxation techniques that I still use till this day. I just recently had a bad episode where I lost control and I was on an airplane mid flight. since then I feel like I am having to battle my anxiety daily, its been a long time since I have had to go through this.

@vannessa44, Did something happen that triggered this response? What do the doctors say about these symptoms? Are you eating well? Often when we are depressed we tend to neglect our bodies which makes things far worse. Eating a balanced diet, drinking plenty of water and getting out for a breath of fresh air can make a huge difference physically and emotionally too.

As for meds, I don't think you have to be afraid of taking what the doctor gives you. My brother in law avoided seeing a therapist for a long time because of the stigma, and the adverse affects associated with meds. But once he saw a therapist, he was prescribed an antidepressant that immediately relieved many of his symptoms. He is working intensely with his counselor on his issues and anxiety and in the meanwhile, his med is really helping him handle everyday life situations. My sister is very happy to see the changes in him and the whole family is much happier and healthier as a result.

I don't know if it was from drinking alot that triggered it but I haven't drink in a month.and the really don't know they said it probably axiety.

I'm glad to hear you're trying to eat well... Keep it up! And are you able to get out for some fresh air too? When I feel anxious or stressed, I like to listen to music, or just read. Sometimes reading about how others overcame similar issues can encourage us and give us hope. I found a resourceful site here bit.ly/2LpZyuC

Meds can help you, but if you are too fearful of taking them, speak to your doctor. Let him know how you feel. I have to tell you though, these meds can really help you a lot especially as you go through therapy. They can help you better handle your anxiety and every day stressors.

hugs~
