Another update.....

Once again, my anxiety has hospitalized me. This happened last thursday. The night before, i got 0 hours of sleep. My anxiety kept me up all night. Once it was morning, i felt a nervous breakdown coming along, and it eventually did. I was laying down in my bed, crying for a solid 45 minutes to an hour. My mother found and asked me why i was crying. I said that living with anxiety for three years, everyday thinking my heart will randomly stop and i would drop dead, always feeling paranoid that something will happen. I also told her about this chest pain i had for a little over a year. I didnt know what it was so i went to the hospital to check it out, but they pinned it on anxiety. And i might have an answer as to when and why my anxiety started. Apparently i may have been traumatized by an earthquake that happened about 4 years ago. I dont know why it gave me anxiety now and not when i as little. I have lived through a couple tremors, strongest one being a 5.9. Yet it didnt bother me when i was little, and i knew how much devestation one could bring. And now, it might have given me anxiety, and it might be true because weird sudden movements is the second thing that triggers my anxiety as well. Even when im laying down, i feel a sensation like the house is moving, like in a earthquake thats a foreshock to a bigger one. Is it possible to rid myself of the sensation that the floor rocks or sways even though it isnt? Someone help me please!

Chronic Anxiety is a habit and one we learn to fear almost as soon as it happens because it is a fear response. We rapidly lose our ability to believe that we are ok so then start seeking answers,triggers etc. The important skill to learn with all anxiety is to self soothe. We learnt it as a child and during most problems we can use it effectively. Chronic anxiety lies to us and convinces us ee cant cope, we need meds, a new doc, another check up and so on and unfortunately we listen to it.

I have been where you are and now. I know how hard it is but my breakthrough came be daring to believe in myself just a wee bit. It took time to regain normality but niw i am pushing past that to thriving.

So dont be a victim...youdont have to be😀

Look into relaxation techniques and practice them

All the best
