Anxious over anxiety

[Rachms11]

Anyone get anxiety when they suddenly realise they weren't even anxious?! I do, how do u handle it?

Hi

It's really hard to break the cycle of being anxious over becoming anxious have you seen your GP ?

Yea I have, I'm on efexor 150mg at the moment

Yes I do I hate it. I will be fine and then I will tell myself I feel good then all of a sudden I feel sick scared and anxious. Taking a moment to calm down and breathe helps

Helo Vale 89,

Had same problems so you are not alone. Went on a mindfulness course and it really helped. There are some amazing books about it . Also guided meditation is very good.

Sound funny doesn't it but to train yourself to sit and relax makes all the difference. Good luck x

Hi, I agree about trying guided meditation. There are so many good ones on YouTube. Stretching might help. I find when I stretch, it keeps my mind in the present and I forget about the anxiety. There's a good book by Dr. claire Weekes called "Hope and Help for Your Nerves". I hope this helps.

Thank you. I have a few apps and I try to do mindfulness every night before I go to bed. It must take time before u notice changes coz I haven't noticed too much ATM

Yes, it needs practice but you will get there x
