I need someone to understand how I feel!

I never felt so sad like today. I feel so out of this fam , my fam is so different in terms of mental health. I’m the only one struggling with GAD so every time I say was going on they just get mad at me or ignore me. Today is been really scary bc I been feeling this tingling in legs & heart palpitations. Also some weird feeling like disconnected kinda dizzy. Idk how to explain but I get scared bc you feel like so light weighted. And I feel so alone right now. People think is easy to forget of those obsessive negative thoughts, but I can’t. I also suffer from Panic , which is terrible! It’s not easy to say :” I’m OKAY!” when really deep inside you feel like if you were falling to pieces.

Yeah, I felt that way this morning. Mine is caused medically by an imbalance of potassium magnesium, vitamin D & sodium. But regardless of what causes it, it sucks to feel nervous, jittery, anxious and frustrated. For awhile I also felt like I was falling to pieces. I used to have these panic like attacks all the time. But as I slow;y corrected my diet, lifestyle and nutrition via certain supplements, I began to recover. This morning was the first serious bad spell I've had in more than 2 months.

I am here for you and I can tell you it will get better. If you're seeing a doctor have the following blood levels tested: Potassium, magnesium, vitamin D, iron, calcium & b-vitamins. Also have your thyroid and adrenal glands tested. Somewhere in there is about 60% of the reason we start experiencing these problems.

The lack of nutrients & malfunctioning of certain organs lead to very real emotional and physical problems. You're not imagining it. Sleep is critical too. I know some good tips for that if you need them.

The people of this site care and we're with you all the way. I know I will help you anytime I'm available. Strength, courage and love, artwanna. Have as blessed of an evening as you can!

Hi! I just want to say you aren't alone. I feel that way a lot. I try to do deep breathing exercises, it gives you something to focus on and requires a lot of work when you are panicking. Also, I really hate those people who tell you not to think negatively too. It's like gee... thanks... hadn't thought of that....
