Anxiety is so dumb -_-

[Chellybean18]

So seriously ive felt disconnected and spaced out since some bad stress in 2014...well my anxiety wasnt bad for a few years even though I was spaced out I just didnt care much about it or worry about it...now since August after a fight, my anxiety seems to have been triggered and now I'm terrified of the off balance heavy head sensation ...like why? Why am I scared of it now? Literally have fear course through me everyday most of the day now I get jolts of fear bc I feel like im just gonna fall out and die!! All day everyday I just see my death I don't feel real i guess....all my tests come back normal. I just dont get how anxiety that I had controlled for so long can just explode out of control all of a sudden...i seriously think I am dying of a terrible disease...but I think in 4 years a terrible disease would have gotten worse right? I dont know anymore...i feel like passing out but i never have!! Im super frustrated and just want my life back...what did it feel like the just get up and enjoy a day? Not worry about my health or feel like im dying...i don't get it. I just want to not feel fear...i want happiness and calmness...just ranting today cause I seriously can't do this much longer 😭😭

I completely understand everything you’re feeling. I’ve spent the day deciding whether to go to the ER or not! Chest pains and a hard time breathing. I can’t remember what 15 years ago felt like. I just know it wasn’t like this!!! Best wishes with your journey! I hope you find something that helps.

[Chellybean18 in reply to PrimoB]

Sorry you go through it too! I literally debate daily whether or not I should go to the ER...i know I can't though cause I dont need to...it sucks. Just a few months ago I was feeling ok. I am going to a psychiatrist soon to see if I can get some help. Just cant be like this anymore!! I hope you get relief soon too this is so hard to deal with...

[PrimoB in reply to Chellybean18]

Good for you with the counselor. I also debate going to the ER everyday. Everything feels so real🤕 I just keep telling myself “it’s my anxiety and it will pass!” I hope you get relief soon too! Let me know how the psychiatrist goes.

[Chellybean18 in reply to PrimoB]

I will! I'll make a big post on here after my visit. Anxiety stinks that's for sure. But we can overcome it with hard work 😬

[PrimoB in reply to Chellybean18]

YES WE CAN!

[Hidden in reply to Chellybean18]

Omg that’s how I feel... I think I can’t remeber what it feels like just to go on with my day? Wake up like the world get dressed and do my thing.. it sucks so bad...I would give so much just tobhave my life back... I am leaning towards zoloft more everyday bc I can’t like this anymore it’s hard... I want to open the bottle and start it soon I thjnk

[Chellybean18 in reply to Hidden]

Yeah...i wish I could remember what it was like to wake and have a good day...if you have Zoloft you should at least try it I think! Ive seen it give people their life back good luck!

[Hidden in reply to Chellybean18]

Have you tried anything?

[Chellybean18 in reply to Hidden]

I tried Escitalopram but it wasn't the one for me. I am seeing a psych in december and I'm gonna try soemthing else. I actually might try Zoloft

[tamka38 in reply to Chellybean18]

Am taking Zoloft and praying it work, this posts is how am feeling now. I was doing so good and out of nowhere fear hit me and now am back where I was years ago and is kind of a downer no sleep barely eating and am constantly worrying about everything and I use to self medicate with alcohol am sober 1 month 9 days and am never going back to alcohol am here for u if u ever need someone to talk to just keep trying your best that’s all you can do

[Chellybean18 in reply to tamka38]

Thank you so much praying for you! Let me know if the Zoloft works for you eventually

[Hidden in reply to PrimoB]

I hope u find something gay helps?wtf?

[Cisco123]

I hear u I feel like I can’t breathe all the time got tests done and nothing so I know exactly what u are going through smh anxiety is no joke .Talking to people that never had it it’s difficult because they don’t understand.

[Chellybean18 in reply to Cisco123]

Same here I cant breathe a lot of the time...nothing is ever wrong just anxiety. People in my life are just like oh well cheer up or get over it. You cant just get over this!

[Cisco123 in reply to Chellybean18]

No u definitely can’t I have always had it but I got so much worse when mom passed last year it’s like I cant get better smh and I hate taking meds so I deal with it head on the worst symptom is not being able to breath and my heart racing out of nowhere

[Chellybean18 in reply to Cisco123]

I'm so sorry to hear about your mom 😔 I can imagine that would make everything way worse. I'm proud of you for sticking it out though. Have you done talk therapy or anything?

[Cisco123 in reply to Chellybean18]

I tried therapy but of course that didn’t help they have tried putting me on meds and I won’t do it .

[Chellybean18 in reply to Cisco123]

Ugh sorry. Just stay strong. You arent alone!

[Cisco123 in reply to Chellybean18]

Thank u i just hope This goes away smh it’s so hard todo anything feeling like this

[Chellybean18 in reply to Cisco123]

Believe me i know! I feel like passing out as soon as I go to do anything...off balanced and everything. It will pass though one day. Gotta stay positive

[PrimoB in reply to Cisco123]

So sorry about your mom Cisco! This anxiety is a beast for sure. I get the same breathing and heart problems. 10’s of thousands of dollars in tests later and it’s still anxiety!

[Cisco123 in reply to PrimoB]

Smh it’s crazy how this can just cripple a person like this smh

[Liz1806]

I have felt like you too. My main problem was anxiety about not sleeping which also spilt over into the day. I take 40 mg citrolepam daily which has sorted day time anxiety and lately 200 mg pregabalin/Lyrica which is wonderful and let’s me sleep. I am seeing a counsellor and also self help. Acceptance as per Claire Weekes is the only way.

[tamka38 in reply to Liz1806]

My main problem was anxiety too am just hoping zoloft works for me so I can get going with my life again because when my anxiety get bad here comes depression they work hand and hand against me all the time I have 200 mg of Trazodone but afraid to take it maybe will talk to my psychiatrist about it again and going to make appointment to see a therapist tomorrow haven’t been out my house in weeks I got to get out the house and back to living if U ever need to talk am here

[Liz1806 in reply to tamka38]

Trazodone didn’t work for me. Made me feel like a zombie and no sleep

[tamka38 in reply to Liz1806]

How many mg was u on?

[tamka38 in reply to Liz1806]

So u didn’t get no sleep with Trazodone

[Liz1806 in reply to tamka38]

No. Heart still pounded all night

[tamka38 in reply to Liz1806]

Oh no when I have panic attack or my heart get to beating fast. I do deep breathing and meditation really helps me

[tamka38 in reply to Liz1806]

So u take to sleeping pills?

[Liz1806 in reply to tamka38]

I have been taking zopiclone but think Lyrica will enable me to get off them.

[tamka38 in reply to Liz1806]

Good u getting sleep

[tamka38]

What u mean by the heavy head sensation? Have u talk to your doctor about that?

[Chellybean18 in reply to tamka38]

Yeah my doctor did a ct scan all came back normal. Just feels like my head is an orange on a toothpick kinda. Lol like my neck isnt able to hold it up...most likely its from the dizziness/ off balance

[Hidden in reply to Chellybean18]

Did u read at last a life

[Chellybean18 in reply to Hidden]

I haven't!

[Hidden in reply to Chellybean18]

I just started so far it’s great

[tamka38 in reply to Chellybean18]

Have u been check for vertigo

[Chellybean18 in reply to tamka38]

Yeah my doctors dont see anything wrong with my ears though!

[tamka38 in reply to Chellybean18]

I have problems with my ear since a kid they want to be tubes in my ears and my mom said and I use to keep an infection in my ear and am always feeling off balance going to see a ENT on November 27 to get. Hearing test and get my ear checked soon

[Chellybean18 in reply to tamka38]

Oh wow! Well I hope everything is ok. Good luck it's great you are getting it checked out

[smicy91]

The best advice I can give is to stop trying to get better. The more you try the worse anxiety becomes. So simply just allow the feelings to be. Don't fight them, it sounds difficult, but it works. Trust me. Whatever you're doing with you're anxiety do the complete opposite.

[Jpsurf760]

Do you have a constant off balance feeling? I've been dealing with this with my anxiety 24/7 for 4 months

[Chellybean18 in reply to Jpsurf760]

Yes always off balance! It's worse when my anxiety is worse I feel like I'm just gonna fall over. Never have though.

[Jpsurf760 in reply to Chellybean18]

Omg I'm sorry to hear! but I'm happy that I'm not alone. I've been freaking out thinking that this is permanent, but I'm going to start using SSRI's to see if it helps. I hope you find something that works too!

[Chellybean18 in reply to Jpsurf760]

Yes thank you! I am seeing a psychiatrist in December, I have heard ssris can help with off balance and dizzies so I hope it works for you good luck! <3

[jennicole31]

Hi friend, I am so sorry that you're going through this pain. Have you been diagnosed with anything bad? I hope not. Have you been participating in any activities that trigger these emotions such as horror films, sad movies or bad music? It's important that you guard your heart from negativity by avoiding things that aren't healthy for you in any way. I don't want you to give up. Your life is valuable to God. We need you here to fulfill your purpose. You have to choose to be joyful and meditate on positive things. I am praying for you to find peace, joy, and restoration in Jesus' Name!

[Chellybean18 in reply to jennicole31]

Thank you so much <3 I am trying my best to stay strong right now.

[Findinghappiness]

You’re not alone. I struggle everyday, it takes a lot of work, but you will get through this! Stay positive. 😊

[Chellybean18 in reply to Findinghappiness]

Thank you so much! Positivity is key. I know I get stuck in the darkness but I always try to find the light.

[anyreyes]

[Chellybean18 in reply to anyreyes]
