Need an anxiety solution!

[Junedakhtar]

Hello friends, i am juned a 25 year old guy who is suffering from anxiety since last 5 years! I constantly feel worry, fear and tension without any reason! I don't know how to overcome it! I can't even sleep at night! It takes hours after being on bed to sleep!

Sorry to hear you are suffering. I too have anxiety and always find something to worry about. I find that breathing exercises help. Visualise drawing breath in through your toes and up into your chest. Exhale in the opposite direction. Try visualising locking your worries into a box and telling yourself that you will get them out tomorrow. You could allow yourself half an hour during the day when you will worry..use a set time for this.

I June’s. It is a journey in dealing with anxiety I think. Seeing a therapist, self affirmation, support groups. You must work at quieting your mind from anxious thoughts. I was told there is a process by which you allow the anxious thought to occur and it should go away in a few minutes, practicing this may help. Devote your time to helping others may work also, get your mind off you. I did not suggest seeing your doctor for medication because I unfortunately never took any myself. You are more than a conqueror you can do this.

I also used to be like this but after a visit to the doc's I was put on beta blockers now taking 160 mg of propranolol they make you a little tired but they do work I used to get panicky but now I have much confidence and can at last be myself, I have also found recently that CBD oil "hemp oil" also helps as a top up you can vape it or put a drop under your tongue comes in many strengths upto 2000mg I'm currently using the 500mg good for a top up in the evening oh incidently it's non hallucinating form of the canabis plant so you won't get high as a kite

All the replies are sensible. I found propananol helpful, but talk to your doctor, it’s not good if you have low blood pressure as it moderates your heart which can lower your blood pressure. Also if you see your doctor he may prescribe medication, but be realistic they take a couple of months to be effective, and there are side effects which can be very unpleasant, but they only last a couple of weeks. If you see your doctor, ask about mirtazapine - it is used for people with both anxiety and depression, and induced sleep. A good night’s sleep is a real boost if you have anxiety

Good luck
