I have been feeling spaced out and tired al afternoon I seem to be alot more alert now than what I was earlier.
I just cant seem to stop this terrible anxiety have you any advice on how to overcome this anxiety without meds from the docs im trying bachs rescue remedy at the moment it works for me when im a little anxious but when im having a panic attack it dont work at all. X
I tried all kinds of remedies...but you must learn to breathe...deep breaths...I use to do five deep breaths...and have a mantra...I am strong in body...mind...and spirit...it have your own personal safe word...keep it up until the enitial panic starts to fade...it will...it's adrenline kicking in...fight or flee...remember it won't hurt you!...you won't pass out...I also do meditation which worked...give yourself some time out especially our brains and constant thoughts....also Lauren get some complex b12 vitamins...a good multi vitamin too...xx
Thanks for the advice, I will try to think like that when I get another panic attack, I found out through a mental health nurse that I have got borderline personality disorder and also postpartum anxiety/OCD and they were talking about putting me on antipsychotics I told them straight im not taking any of them meds cos im not a psycho I experienced a couple of psychosis symptoms which I dont experience anymore and they wanted to put me on meds for just a couple of symptoms I will try the vitamins and see if they work for me, X
Please do...it takes time and quite a lot of set backs...put please also keep yourself busy...don't fear the fear...walk in the sunshine..head high...Anxiety sufferers always look at there feet...write a journal about your feelings and how your feeling...hope you start feeling better soon...you will it just takes time....x
Hi how do u recover from this Id love to be be to the person I was x
Time and a lot of patience...it took me bloody years...and I still get the odd twinge...but I don't fear it anymore...I take complex b12 vitamins and I meditate...you have to face the feeling and don't let it frighten you or make you carry on with the negative thoughts...like will I be myself again...when you wake up in the morning am i feeling normal...you start the cycle again...you have to think differntly..like it's only caused by feelings and thoughts and with time your thoughts change from constent negative weird ones to normal...hope that made sense...
Yes that makes sense cos I have had days wen I feel relatively normal then bang something happens I wud usually be able to cope with like this weeks tooth abcess and the overthinking starts . Round and round in my head . Now I just get scared waiting for next time . I really need to build up my immune system doc said my b12 was ok so don't know wat I need but cud benefit from a good multivitamin that I can take with my meds are you on no medication for anxiety x
No...I take nothing...never have...only a good b12 vitamin and multi vitamin...cod liver oil...plenty of water...and plenty of bloody patience...because you will have months of feeling great then wham it's back and the cycle continues...the over thinking...the questions...and self pity..that is the hardest comment to make but it's true...
I too, agree with you! I still have those days, like this past couple days.
Wat has changed do u be ok for a while then not . Id like to know wat meds I need as these ones don't seen to be consistent which scares me x
I never went on medication...as I wanted to learn about it and understand why it affects us as it does...my doctor wouldn't perscribe me he advised me to try alternative like diet...vitamins...meditation ...also exercise as it releases the good chemicals that give you the good feeling...remember you have been good on days were the panic...dp. .Anxiety have faded...why?...because you wasn't thinking about it constantly...that horrible loop you need to break...
I was thinkin about ymthat tday
I'm going to try a diet to help and meditation Iv never tried but i will give it a go I need to find ways rite for me to break the cycle thank u x
I will try meditation i have never tried it before so its worth a try. X
I used to take citalopram 10mg they made me worse so doc said to stop taking them I took them about a year ago when doc put me on them my daughter was a few weeks old so I knew I was suffering from postpartum anxiety and ocd my doc tried sayingbit was postpartum depression but I wasnt depressed I am now because no doctor will even listen to me they tell me im a hyperchondriac which I found a bit insulting to be honest. X
Your not a hypochondriac...Anxiety disorders are a real mental health issue...not the kind that require disbelievers...it is only becoming more widly recognised as a condition as to the amount of people developing this....it is achievable to live with this condition and in time it does fade away...as you become more aware and less fearfull which then starts the cycle...panic...aches...crazy thoughts...weakness...sickness..etc.....x
It is getting to the stage where you are no longer afraid of it...and we're anxiety is a healthy emotion not a negative...it is only negative because it has scared us....and we are good at over thinking....
Anxiety makes you have weird vision...it can give off the effect of a blured dull vision...it does pass...check that you don't need liquid tears hypermeliose...i use to get vision problems but I find out you can get dry eyes with anxiety...it helped me....or just focus on something and open your eyes really wide...again other techniques...I was adviced to open my eyes and visual move them like a clock...i.e. 1..2..3..and move your eyes like a handle on a clock...sounds weird but it works...hope your feeling better soon...
i'll try, it's hard because I keep getting more and more symptoms... sigh
Just try and think positive...it's a never ending cycle anxiety...it feeds on your fear of it...you have to relax more...please try meditation and like I've said to others...look at your diet...get some complex b12 vitamins and a good multi vitamin...and get outside...excercise or go for a walk..it really does help😊
I take combined complex b12 from Holland and Barrett...they are really good😊
They don't it's just a complete b formula...b12 content is 25mg but it contains b2 and b1...they are from the herbalist Holland and Barrett...
Please tell me what you did to fix this? Im currently struggeling now
