Days going by

[Kevin160]

Things are stable in general, my life just consists of mild anxiety, some heart palpitations and irrational thoughts and fears ..its not debilitating nor controlling of my lkfe, its better than before before because it doesnt affect my life much , but just the added fear and the increased stress bothers me ..im getting heart palpitations with or without any apparent cause almost every day , and mostly it doesnt last long and its due to stress or maybe health wise, food or dehydration maybe not sure , but sometimes it adds to my stress and anxiety and makes me scared because the flutters remind me of the panic attacks i got ...so its hard to get better sometimes when this happens , still im extremely happy im living life now and these last months are over because anxiety doesnt affect my life anymore which is amazing , its annoying and frustating but atleast i dont always think im going tl die , im eating sleeping and feeling well , and i just feel hopeful again , which is something i felt like i lost and that i really lost everything good ...never ever ever thought at some point where panic attacks and extremem panic hit and i was at rock bottom with no support and just constant panic attacks for weeks at a time , where just hearing a message or anything would trigger huge doses of fear ..but now its managable and i know what to do , i feel experienced and much more strong

Man I am the same way. Well I never got panic attacks. But get my phone ringing or messages coming in and the anxiety definitely spikes.

Yes , i just feel so sensitive to fear ,, and to things that i never thought about before , when you suffer from anxiety anything can trigger fear, as simple as a phonecall ..for me today i had terrible heart palpitations and dizzy spells and nasuea for no apparent reason that a normal person might get anxious for , but for me its just about anything ...which is so hard

Have you ever read or listened to Dr Claire Weekes books on anxiety. You might wanna try those the helped me a lot.

[Kevin160 in reply to optimuscoolbeans]

Yes ofcourse, face,accept,float through, let time pass ...it helped me alot , i listened to some audios ..it definately helped me realize that anxiety is not as dangerous as i thought , anxiety wont kill me because it never lasts a long time yes its chronic but there is always times where you feel better even if its short lived ..but i mean sometimes i forget it and feel like i could really relapse again , i do get heart palpitations and alot of scary thougts , fear over things that might not be even scary ..but i guess it needs more time and more practice

Yeah I’m working on it every day. Well, because I seem to have some form of anxiety everyday. I also try to focus on the second fear idea. It’s not the anxiety I fear. It is the fear of my state. I found this to be really true for me. How about you?
