Normal?

[Lindsey14]

Is it normal for my anxiety to be on a non stop high? I feel constantly unreal and like im going crazy or dying. No little exercises seem to help, i really dont know what to do.

Lindsey14, when anxiety gets to this point of severity, the best thing you can do is get help from a professional. Therapy and short term medication will help break the cycle of fear. Right now fear is begetting fear and you are getting no where. Doing little exercises on your own are not enough. Your attention span is focused entirely on how you are feeling. I can assure you that you are not going crazy and you are not dying but until you get some relief, you will find it impossible to believe. xx

The same thing has been happening to me! Don’t worry! You’re not dying or going crazy! Neither am I even though it feels like it. It’s just anxiety either way. Do you find it hard to catch your breath? You’ll be ok!

I feel exactly the same. My anxiety never seems to leave me alone for a bit.

My chest is always tight & I feel short of breathe a lot.

No exercise seems to help me either.

I try deep breathing but I feel like it makes me feel worse.
