I cannot relax

Why is anxiety always worse in the evening. I find myself driving to Starbucks late at night to kee me distracted. I can't sit and watch tv in the evening because I start aching and begin to panic and worry that I'm going to have a heart attack and wherever else. What's going on?! I just want to relax

Maybe you need to go do things, they can be simple things like drawing or listening to music but maybe you need to occupy your thoughts with stuff. Telly doesn't help because you switch off when you watch and the anxiety starts to kick in. Try getting something relaxing to do with yourself it might help.

I was like that for awhile. I would go to watch a movie on tv and it's like I wouldn't make it past the preview and I was feeling like I was gonna die. Terrible feeling. I too used to make random trips to Starbucks lol.. drive there to keep my mind off driving to the hospital

I think when we get like that.. when we sit down to watch the movie or whatever the case may be.. and the panic starts to come over us, just let it come. Let it come on full force and don't react to it. Just think this is my anxiety coming to scare me again. Just accept it as it comes. The sooner you accept that it's just anxiety and not a heart attack or anything super scary... the quicker it will go away 🙂

Surely the worst thing you could ever do is drive to Starbucks, Coffee has to be the worst cause of anxiety and just one cup will keep you awake and tense for 24hrs
