Anxiety

[Trees2357]

I haven’t been able to stop being afraid of anxiety symptoms and anxiety is worse. I don’t know what to do. I’ve been like this for 5 years and now I’m worse. And depressed also

The anxiety feeds off your fear for the symptoms and that makes them even worse honestly just have to ride them out and it will calm down a little bit x

Deep breathing exercises can help in the short term. Close your mouth. Take a deep breath in through the nose, while slowly counting to six. Hold for 2 seconds. Purse lips and let air out slowly, counting to six. Do this several times, until your body relaxes.

I have recently started taking ionic magnesium chloride, as most of us are deficient. Not having enough magnesium can cause anxiety and muscle cramps, especially in the legs.

I didn’t know that about magnesium. I’ve been getting leg cramps in my calves and my anxiety has been way amped lately.

There is a magnesium I take. It’s called CALM. It’s a powder you put in water or a drink. You can get it at Walmart, Wegmans, Whole Foods. Or a health food store.

You can also look up on internet. Magnesium that’s good for anxiety

I have also suffered with severe anxiety problems for 15 years now. I’ve had better times than others , but I understand what you mean and how it can take such a hold over you and make you feel so scared and worried. I still avoid certain situations which I know is feeding the anxiety.

I went through a lot of group session counselling and meditations and self help books to get to a manageable point, and I have to work at it daily.

I hope that you find something that works for you. Its not easy and I hope you have some success. x
