Hello.. I am 18 have a 2 year old..work full time and school.. just got out of a really bad relationship.. i have anxiety really bad and i am always feeling nervous, and shaking, and just naesous, It causes my periods to be irregular which casues more anxiety, i do take medication. But i just want to know how I am able to be happy, and just enjoy my life at the moment without all these thoughts taking over my mind:(

Hi Juliian, sorry to here about your relationship and situation I can not even imagine the amount of stress being taking away from your mom at the age of 13... So sorry to hear that .. Your still very young and have your whole life ahead of you not sure what kind of meds your on and for how long exactly you've been taking them .. Do you suffer from constant anxiety everyday everyday?? Or has it come and go for all them years I'm just trying to figure out if you been having the right amount of help that you should be getting . I hope your seeing a therapist or psychiatrist tha would be my best advice ...they will determine if you need to be on meds or not like I said in not sure if your on any at this moment ... About anxiety what can we say it's the worst it tries to take over your life give you different symptoms I'm sure you know this by now .. The BIG ? Is does it get any better and are your able to be HAPPY? That's very hard to answer but my answer would be yes it's possible to be HAPPY again with the right help and the right people around you or if it's just you and your son then with your own help and the will to live and be happy for you and your son I'm sure you will over come this all ... Pray lots of praying everyday God is good try going to church take your son visit give it a try it does help you will meet great people and have lots of support from them ... Not sure what's your religion but we only have one God ... So what ever it is just keep on praying and go to your Doctors .. They will also help .. Keep me posted I will respond back you can even message me if you have questions .. I've been suffering from anxiety it's been four months now I'm beginning to accept it and I know deep inside it won't be forever ... I've done many medical exams one too many ER 26x in four months doctor visits etc.. Been dealing with everyday shortness of breath and upper andominal pressure life can be hard at times but I'm sure we all that suffer this will get over it ... My blessings to you and your son and may God Bless You Always .... I will pray for you and everyone that suffers from this illness .. Take care you can always message me ..

thank you i really enjoyed reading that and it truthfully did open my eyes.. I have had anxiety/depression issues since i was 13 . i am now 18.. so 5 years.. I have been on anxiety medications since 13 as well.. and every once in awhile i try to get off and be able to maintain myself.. but then i end up having a emotional break down. I am not a very good person of coping with things. I am not baptized. but recently started opening up more to church and wanting to do right in my life. I have alot of things going on, and i want to feel relaxed like a normal teenager at times. I know im a mother. I just want to be happy in general.

You will be happy again ... There are ups and downs in everyone's life you too soon will have your good years .. God is Great at all times and yes go to church look for support have them pray for you .. Your day will come one morning your gonna wake up and feel like a whole new person keep that faith it might not happen over night but eventually will happen don't fight it just learn to live with it accept it and it will begin to fade away .. Don't feed it anymore energy do not let it consume you if you feel down pray when your at your most cry out to God he is the one and only ... God Bless Take Care .. There is this book by Joyce Meyer called Battlefield of the mind read it go to a library .. I'm sure it will be of a help eat Better stay away from caffeine and sugar juices and any process foods look up food for the mind or foods for anxiety .. Hope this helps ...

I just have to tell you how well you are doing! You have been thru so much and now taking care of you little one, good work!

Perhaps talk to your doctor as to your Meds.

Believe in your self, you are young and have a life ahead of you with your son. Enjoy him as they grow so quickly.

Someone once told me that happiness is " moments" of the day or your life. When you have those moments ENJOY!

Ensure you have loads of rest, eat well and yes pray to God for support. Take care

Have you ever looked into mindfulness? It's a really good way of allowing your thoughts to flow without judgement or allowing them to become anxiety triggers

You have alot to deal with but you can do it. Your first priority is your baby. Next, take care of your health by eating healthy. Keep your energy level even by eating healthy all day. Keep healthy snacks with you all day. Drink water, exercise. Take your baby for walks, maybe to park. Don't think about yesterday, it's past and you can't change anything. Think about today. You can do something about today. You have a lot to focus on besides how you feel. Your baby is a blessing. Thank God for your child. Next, be glad you are still able to finish your education and that you have a job. You seem to have the strength and courage to succeed. Do not be afraid to reach out for help. You would be surprised how many good people there are that would help. If meds help, take them for your sake and your baby. Your schedule is tight but make time to be with and talk to friends. Bottom line, stop focusing on how you feel and focus on baby, school, job, friends and reach out to others. Maybe even be a support to others. Eat healthy, exercise, drink water and sleep is important too. Live for today. Past is past, live now, dont think about tomorrow. Believe each day will be better than yesterday. If God wants you in a relationship, he will send you someone. Unfortunately, You cant be a regular teenager since you have had to become an adult so soon so be happy with your blessings . God is by your side and will help you if you just believe.
