Advices on stress and especially health anxiety

[Kevin160]

Consider risk factors first before overthinking

No overthinking, no use, i know its hard but know scary thoughts are irrational

Try your best to engage in activities and distract wit friends of family

Know that there is always a solution you just dont see it , it could be a realization of how u r wrong , or knowing how logically your fears dont make sense , and that ure fine

Engage in your beliefs if youre religious , if not just focus on your asspects of life and know that everything happens for a reason , for me i haged stress and anxiety its still horible but i wouldnt change it it is a growth experience and it made me see that im not as weak as i thought , i can face things i thought i would die just thinking of it

Download simple habit or other apps to meditate , it helped me relax

Please dont do like me and get crazy over blood pressure or pulse, its an obsession that i was afraid to move , it was a panic attack every single day , just worrying what if something happens to me , my bp is slightly elevated , how will i cope what if it keeps rising , then u realize ur body is not trying to kill u , you will be fine it has mechanisms to help u survive and u have support from people , i never thought my family will understand but they did

As hard as it sounds , try to get up and go to places or walk or do anything , sometimes stress is so bad i was throwing up in my mouth by the thought of removing my blanket , it was terrible and my bp was high and i was feeling my pulse in my throat , i then decided to call a friend to walk to my house across the street to get me and we go play in the snow , i went back hungry and my bp was 110/70 or something , i still get worried but eventhough u might have to live with this for a while u til it goes away know that youre fine and ur mind is playing tricks on u sometimes , its terrible but your only job its to master how to calm and recognize that u r fine and when its a problem , and u deal and cope accordingly ...best of luck to anyone facing similar situations, i hope u face this with strength like i know you can , send me a message if u want to talk , i will help and u can help me trust me

Thanks Kevin for sharing your experiences,I overthink about everything then the panic starts.

[Kevin160 in reply to mydogs]

Yes i totally get it , and it happens to me sometimes so i found that i often panic on things i dont know about , and i dont consider logic when i overthink , just try to calm and ask yourself what is the cause for the panic
