Hi, Do anyone feel their brain feeling weird? Or they can't stop thinking and the more they think the more the anxiety come on and they feel heaviness in their brain like they gonna lose their mind. I feel this anxiety is driving me insane and I cant control it and I wake up in the middle of the night. Heart racing ready to run out of myself. I am so tired of this feeling I am crying writing this. PLEASE HELP!!!

I can relate to this. Sometimes I just wish I could “shut my brain off.” My battle may not be the same, but I drive myself crazy thinking about what others think of me and people who hate me and how I can’t contribute to things I’m involved in and it keeps me up. Here are some things that make it better for me:

-open air. Being outdoors whether that is working out every day or going for a walk

-eating healthy. This helps improve my mood and ultimately nighttime thoughts.

-getting a diffuser or some other smell that may help you sleep. Sometimes things like that involve just trying different things until you feel like something works

-A Journal!! Please keep a journal and when your mind keeps you up- date it and write it down. Track the things that bother you, and if you ever feel throughout your day that you are positively handling something that bothered you document that too so you can look back at your process.

You are capable of conquering this. There is no golden answer but you are loved and I believe in you. It may not be easy, but try a few of these changes and when you’re anxious and down come back to this group and share. You got this

Thank You so much. Can I inbox you sometimes for tips ?? Also I am Pescatarian & i dont do dairy. Are you suggesting maybe going full vegan ??

What about not being motivated part?

Yes of course! I’m new to this site and am going to try to check it every so often so if I don’t see your messages at first I’m sorry. As for the diet that’s up to you. Sometimes changing things up and being healthy just makes you feel more energized. Maybe if you feel like going vegan would work you can give it a try for a few days and see how you feel. Recently I’ve been cooking a lot of rice bowls and have been rotating between asparagus and broccoli and bell pepper and Brussel sprouts. I have also been drinking smoothies and eating lots of fruit! It can feel like a burden to cook sometimes but keeping my hands busy and trying new recipes has been a happy thing for me. As far as being motivated I feel like number one you have to believe that you can get better. Believe in yourself! I know that you can. Next just try different things like this and just see how they work. I think motivation has a lot to do with energy and you can get energy from food, but also exercising and medicines. Maybe download the app Sworkit? It’s free and has different exercise plans for beginners. I do them once a day and it really helps. Also maybe try natural supplements? Look up L Theanine. Also if you’re not on anti depressants maybe that is a good investment if you can afford it? They have made a huge difference in my hormone levels.
