Anxiety does not exist in a still mind

That's it.........

Find something that stills your mind and practice daily

First of all, most of us here probably have a better understanding of anxiety than many doctors. The roots of anxiety are in the mind producing the physical manifestations. Adrenaline is produced as a response to the mind experiencing fear ie the fight or flight response, which triggers a physiological response to prepare us for action. Those who suffer anxiety are extremely sensitive to this response. We then begin to fear the response, feeding the fear. Tension in muscles - as a result of anxious thoughts - brings physical discomfort and perpetuates the fear/anxiety state. If our minds were free from fear we wouldn't have anxiety. I'm not a doctor but I've had many years of researching anxiety. Best of all - I live with it.

Firstly, there is hope...I suffered like you and believed I could solve it on my own, in the end I asked for and looked for help.

Looking back I wished I hadn,t wasted years keeping it to myself, for today I,m well, but I live for each day.

Don,t be afraid to go to your doctor...they have heard it all before.

Anything you are offered is worth it....it does not have to be forever, it is first to set the reset button...that is to slow your mind and body down till you can get your thoughts back into some sort of perspective.

They next thing is talk to someone who understands....because this will "empty your head".....and listen to others, as when we listen we are not thinking.

But most important is changing your thinking.....from negative to more positive.

This will take time and is helped by not reading or watching negative things, mixing with positive people, spending time in good environments (country walks watching nature helps).

If you have a partner explain what your going through, so that if you need time out to go a walk on your own, they will understand.

And don,t people please when you are trying to get well. You are the most important person when seeking your health.....once you are well then help others.

Only something that helped me understand why my mind worked this way was listening to Eckhart Tolle on you tube. All the best, enough to take in at moment

Totally agree with you here and Eckhart Tolle is my savior his books The Power of No and A New Earth took me from a dark place to a place where I could function more freely with there always being hope despite life and it's dark times.. good luck to you and I am glad you found peace to
