I’m trying my best to try and be positive but the constant anxiety and depression worrying that I’m dying or had a heart attack panic attacks it’s exhausting why did I let myself get this bad. Why have I let this go on for 4 months and continue to get worse through those months. I’m actually trying to fight through the anxiety of taking BUSPAR. I’m hopefully I maybe found a therapist. Blood work ekg chest X-ray were all fine. When I start to get the weird sensations in my chest or the weird anxiety that shoots down my neck into my arms I try so hard to be like “Adam you’ve felt like this before you’re going to be okay” but it rarely works though I keep getting these random minutes of calm and hoping that means the BUSPAR is working. I’m tired of running to the doctors every week thinking I’m dying and trying to get answers though what they tell me rarely eases my anxiety or if it does only lasts the rest of the day and the next I’m back to where I was. The doctors also gave me Xanax but I’m way to afraid to take them idk why. Everyone keeps saying don’t give up hope keep pushing but I feel so low like I can’t keep going. It’s effecting everyone around me because of my anxiety and such. Maybe one day I’ll have a job again.

Hi Adamj. I feel very similar to how your feeling & I’m going through a lot of the same! ! It’s horrible and also terrifying!!! I’ve been taking Xanax for the last 14 days or so. I think it has helped me a little and so far I haven’t felt any significant side-effects. My psychiatrist actually wants to up my dosage.
Glad it’s helping you! Hopefully youre able to find a good balance
any charity areas a person an help; out at....sure made me feel much better....to serve.....my sense u care about people
Thank you AdamJ. Right now I feel it’s only helping a little in general I still feel absolutely horrible
I wonder if it would help you to focus hard on improving your general health. Doing this can take a lot of time and effort and may serve as a distraction and would obviously have the side benefit of making you healthier. By this I mean a) carefully plan a healthy diet for all three meals and devote the time to shopping and cooking very healthy meals. b) exercise - because you are worried about your heart I would suggest a slow quiet walk in a peaceful place every day. (doublecheck with your doctor first.). c) try to get as much rest and sleep as you need.d) spend extra time on personal grooming - ie. tooth brushing and flossing, skin care, etc.
Focusing on these things can be very distracting and can give you things to do instead of constantly focusing on your anxiety. xx
That sucks dude I hope things get better I wish I could tell you something of meaning and what not but the anxiety demon is a harsh one I know you ha e been on Buspar dorm a week or 2 now hopefully it will get better Xanax isn't bad I usually take 1 MG if I get real bad
Hi Adamj, my daughter has been going through something similar like you for couple of years. I know that there is a young man on youtube by the name of Trey Jones he has many good videos that might help you overcome this issue. Please don't give up! I know for a fact that Mr. Jones videos has helped her to understand how to manage this depression.
(i do not care for confrontational therapists or doctors....soooo reading all this is very reassureingt and refreshing....hope people realise that just fyi)
Go for a 1-2 mile jog, to show yourself how healthy you are. Then take a cold 10 minute shower.
This is an excellent book very easy to read and do. I have anxiety and depression and I discovered in the first few pages of his simple to read book exactly what I was doing to create this anxiety. I hope you can get this little book and benefit from it and end your torture.
Anxiety Rebalance by Carl Vernon
Hey man I can feel your distress, pain, anxiety, fear. I know it's sucks so much it feels like it's affecting your body far worse than it is. That's not to say that it isn't though. Fear can immobilize you to the point of feeling like there is not way out. I think it helps that you talk about it. I've been there. I know what is feels like. A bottomless hole you're falling into and nothing to grab while you are falling to an uncertain something your mind is trying to process. The reality is really quite different though. Part of it is biochemical in our heads and in my case part of it was something going in my life that was tearing me up from the inside out. That's what I deal with everyday. I don't explore outward, but rather implode all the pain, sorrow, and fear to the point of spinning out of control. I've been trying to right myself up since I was 8 years old. Life has a way of not going the way we want and that doesn't help either. Everyone is different, your story, my story, and everyone else on here. What the same is we get anchored when we call on others to help steady us when the time calls for it. I don't know you but I know what you've described in your posts is me. You can call me if you think I can help steady you. I will do what I can and maybe just maybe you're gain your footing in time. Even so I'm sure others here is do the same if you ask.
You're welcome to DM when ever you need. I think I'm a good listener and I love conversation too.
Not what you're looking for?
