Back again, still petrified.... Anxiety

Has anyone ever been scared to wake up in the morning because of how bad they feel and has anyone ever been scared that it won't get better??

Me again. I am constantly afraid I won't get better. Sometimes I'm scared that its becoming part of my personality. On the plus side for you, the doctor told me if you were not anxious in childhood the get it when you are still relatively young it's easier to get rid of.

I am 33 and have never had it until last year so in hopeful.

Hi again anxiety ang well that's rubbish because I was very anxious in childhood!! I used to wait outside my front door for my mom to get back home because I was petrified that something would happen to her! I went round a friends tonight and genuinely felt good for the first time in ages! But then as soon as I recognised I was laughing all panic and thoughts attacked me again xxx

Plus all I've eaten today is a banana and an orange so perhaps that's why I'm so anxious too! But you just don't feel like eating do you xx

Well doctors often talk a load of shit don't they. Well I think so anyway.

When i am bad and not eating I just eat crisps (potatoe chips if ya not uk). I find my shaking gets worse if I'm empty and that increasing my health anxiety.

Really feel for you today. It's scary stuff we're stuck with isnt it. Xx

Yep you go in there with a problem and all they want to do is prescribe you tablets!! I'm in the UK, have you heard of the linden method? If not google it and subscribe to the emails they send you! They really do help a lot just to give you that little pick me up when your down. They do anxiety retreats and you can go and stay there and they can apparently get rid of your anxiety! I just tried eating some tea weren't very interested in it felt sick but I've ate abit!! Also I'm moving back home soon so hopefully that will sort me out just don't know how it's going to affect me and my partner we've lived together for 8 months just want my safe place back though he seems pretty sad and he said he feels like he's failed but he's never had intrusive obsessive thoughts... Just hoping this gets better soon scared I will lose control of my thoughts but then again that's just anxiety speaking not my true self! It really is horrible isn't it, how's your day been are you ok?? X

Better than I expected really. Managed to get out to the shop (haven't been out since I cocked work up again last Tuesday. Dont ya find small success like that and even eating a bit of tea like you just did can lift you.

I will google that cos not done that before and every little helps.

Do you really think those retreats work? Seems a bit too good to be true. X

[Hidden in reply to Anxietyang]

I guess so a little bit! Well done you I find that when your not in an anxious frame of mind you can come to terms with your thoughts but when your anxious 24/7 it's so hard to see a light at the end of the tunnel isn't it :,( and I don't know it seems legit celebrities have stayed there and been 'cured' apparently xx

[Anxietyang in reply to Hidden]

It is hard ya right. Sounds like you are doing the right things. You've been to docs, started therapy, looking at alternative ways to help yourself. It's all positive moves and you should give yourself a pat on the back, you really should.

We'll get there, eventually. X

[Hidden in reply to Anxietyang]

We've got each other to talk too! Really all this anxiety is just so pointless and stupid think about it if we didn't have it then we would be happy! But as we both know it's really hard to think and do when anxious xx

[Anxietyang in reply to Hidden]

It's so self destructive isnt it.

Tomorrow is another day and it may be a good one. I'm back at work though. Yak!

Wish me luck cos I'm gonna need it ha ha. X

Hi i looked into the Linden method sometime ago, the retreats are around 2,000 for a 3 day one, and they 4 day is more but i dont now how much, i did but cant remember, charles linden himself claims to have suffered anxiety from a child up to around 28 yrs old i believe, and that the method was created by him to cure himself of anxiety, he also says that anxiety is not an illness its a habit, created when we get anxiety symptoms , we then go out to protect ourselves from them, by safety measures, like staying home, not wanting to move, in turn he says this then gives the anxiety the food it needs to keep going and food is our fear. he claims that if we can ignore these symptoms as thay cant harm us, that they will recide, he also says people with anxiety are not physically ill nor are they mentally ill, its a habit/condition , doctors and mental health persons file it under mental health due to there lack of understanding of anxiety, so the easest way is to chuck meds at us, and hope it does the trick, and if not then on to the next one and so on.

This above was my findings on the charles linden and his linden method
