Im so tired if being this way, im sick of it
I feel the same way and I been dealing with this now for 2weeks and I hate the physical symptoms muscle tension, tingling hands and feet and etc I havnt even been waiting to eat at all then I can’t never focus because I think I’m going to die every 5 mins I can’t stop overthinking about the dien part
I completely understand how you feel. I am exactly the same-currently sat here googling tiredness, neck ache, ear ache and getting all kinds of terrifying results despite the fact that my whole family has had a viral cold and I'm blowing my nose 20+times a day so it's clearly just from having a cold like 90% of the people I know this week. The problem is the more I worry, the more I run myself down so I get ill more and then I just give myself more things to panic about and so the cycle continues. I'd give anything to just break the cycle of worry and feel healthy again-mentally and physically. I hope you start to feel better soon and if I find a magical cure I'll let you know. Xx
Sometimes I long to be in a different place really all we have is the present moment.
I am sorry u are going through this I feel the same way it’s been over a year since I been dealing with this and the physical symptoms and the all day everyday thinking I’m going to die I am slowly day by day trying to get stronger I changed the way I think when I panic I talk to myself telling myself I’m ok and I thank for my body for what it is doing and tell myself this is anxiety and I been having a few days being ok I do wish I could have my old life back but I think that I can’t wait for my new life it’s a vicious cycle that’s keeps on continuing I hope u find something that works for u so each and everyday u can regain ur life back trust me u are not alone I know exactly how u feel
happens to all of us..change is good...it works for the better of us not against us..theres so much out there for you why stay the old you when its a new day everyday..i think your doing well to have come this far...you can have it all if you want..for me, you are perfect just the way you are..just keep going ..
This happened to me. I was traumatized roughly 3 years ago after what felt like a near death panic attack. This was from smoking too much weed after being starving and tired I haven’t been the same since. I’ve been physically and mentally falling apart. I’m very slowly regaining my composure..I have one piece of advice, quit caffeine if you drink coffee everyday... that was a huge huge help.
There’s a way out of this I know it but it hurts overthinking every situation and letting anxiety make you sick. Live for the moment, look forward for a better future, it’s there and you have to fight.
I like to think of anxiety as a way of my brain telling me to get things together, it can be much but it can also be a big help. Try to be friends with your body and mind again. We’ll do this.
Thanks for reading if you did, im a talker.
I totally feel the same way. I lost myself due to my husband and his family.
They give me anxiety with their family dynamics. Such toxic people. I have totally lost myself. I am neglecting my own well being. I need to go back to my old self. I am just a relaxed person usually but turned into a person I do not know. Little by little I am seeing my old self peek out.
I really feel for you as i, too have regular bouts of terrible anxiety. I have tried so many ways to help myself and read more books and articles on the subject than anyone can imagine. I expect you too have tried everything but wonder how you feel about accupuncture? Being anxious is apparently about your chakras being out of balance and a good session with an excellent accupuncturist always helps me back on the right path.
I wonder if anyone else has tried this and found it helpful? I would love to know........
Anyway, just thought I'd mention it...it certainly can't do any harm! Good luck and you are in my thoughts.
Hi Lyndsey I Here ya I’m not sure your situation but mine came from mich needed change and a had a nightmare that inflicted the worst insomnia spiritually I’m a Christian I’ve done some anxiety classes but this is like sleep anxiety I’m praying a lot about returning back normal like you I don’t want to take meds but 3 months ago I went almost 6 days without sleeping getting better prayer changes things!! Lord willing
Hi Lindsey, I completely understand how you feel. I have been dealing with anxiety for about three years now. I think I had it for a while before that, but got worse due to some difficult circumstances in my life. I can totally relate to how you feel, I wouldn’t wish my anxiety on my worst enemy. I don’t know why some people deal with it and others don’t. What I have found for myself is not trying to think of who I used to be, but that will get me more depressed. Instead, I hold on to my good days. I find that helps with my anxiety and my depression. Do you see a counselor or therapist? I have found that has helped in my journey, and helping me to focus on the present and not my past. Praying for you, and know you are not alone.
I feel exact same wayv
