Hi

I am this way today feel like i have a permanent internal trembling going on and jittery, I have however been for 3 short walks so far today, the strange thing is that when walking this is not there, But am edgy and fuzzy head which may be where I have just upped my dose of 10mg to 20mg citalopram and am still only 13days in to this med. Are you able to do a short walk Littlesofty? they say it burns off some of the adrenalin that gets released into the blood with anxiety.

Hi,

I go through bouts of anxiety and panic. I use to rely on beta blockers but didn't like the side effects. What i do now is this;

I take Kalms which you can get from most supermarkets or chemists. Take 2 tablets 3x a day for a month.

I also write a sort of diary of what i am feeling...frees you head of constant worries and horrible thoughts!!

Go for a walk it really does help...make part of your routine.

Lastly...google "Mindfulness" you will find some free downloads that will give relaxation exercises like deep breathing ect..

I hope this is of help...Please do remember..you will find things easier eventually.

Its not a random blog , its your blog & what is affecting you today

Maybe even though you may feel anxious at uni ,it does keep you occupied , now you have some time on your hands , less occupied , the mind starts talking over

We have to try & throw the thoughts out of our heads , its not easy , also sometimes accepting how we feel , can take away the fear

These things are not easy to do , but with practise , it does get easier

I no the suitcase drama , I needed one the other week , thought I had 3 (which I did ) only ever used them once , then I remembered a few years ago , they were borrowed & I never got them back

So I don't no if you feel or could go out , to get one , if not the internet has lots , you could browse on there , an added bonus as well , the sales are on , so you should get one cheap

I don't no if you like music , but I play that , it cheers me up , makes me sing & I don't feel alone

Or TV on in background , that's another distraction that you don't feel so alone

Good luck with the suite case hunting , maybe you could still organise what you are taking & put them in neat piles & then when you get the suite case , will take you less time

Also I make lists as well everything that will be needed , so I can tick them of & don't go in a panic wondering if I have forgot anything

Hope you feel better soon

Love
