Mixed emotions and symptoms

[Kevin160]

While writing this, im having really bad vertigo, everything is spinning, im pretty sure its an ear infection or fluid buildup , because a few months ago my doctor examined me and told me that i had a fluid buildup in my ear , anywho

Im currently practicing to calm myself, i have an event in the near future that would freak me out typically , but im trying my best to be calm , my anticipatory anxiety is the worst because im never afraid of any specific events, just the fact that i have to wait for that event my thoughts begin to increase, and the worst case scenarios occur..

wish me the best guys i really need this week to go well

Hi Kevin,

I try to focus as much as I can on the present and then the future is not as intense. I also distract myself with whatever will hold my attention totally, video games, hobbies, etc. Sometimes just taking a step back and trying to look at a situation as it really is helps reduce my anxiety.

I with you the best and hope you week goes well.

Thank you so much for the advice, i try sometimes to distract myself but when i have a really important event i tend to find it difficult to calm down , i cant sleep well, i get really bad panic attacks , its just terrible, i do try to better calm myself now which is working great now but sometimes little anxiety filled thoughts creep in
