Dealing with anxiety . Cant concentrate!

[22222]

I'm new here. Having anxiety issues, heart palpitations in night the upon waking, can hardly concentrate at work and class, getting mild headaches...Insomnia...the feeling is generally pretty exhausting and overwhelming. It started 5 months ago. My doctor prescribed antidepressants at the beginning...but wont prescribe any other meds.. I'm advised to meditate.., exercise.. to be able to control it.

Is there anyone else feeling the same way?

How are you coping and controlling it?

I’m dealing with severe anxiety too. Still trying to figure out how to cope.

I feel you. I believe... it starts from within... I'm trying so hard to control my thoughts....

One of the things that helps me is listening to the audiobooks by Dr. Claire Weekes. I strongly suggest looking them up - she was brilliant, and offers a great perspective on what she called 'nervous illness'.
