Ruining my life.

[destinymichelle]

My anxiety is ruining my life. It’s hard to do everyday chores around the house, let alone actually leave the house. It’s ruining me. I can’t even get myself to go up to a clinic and try to get some help for the simple fact that I can’t handle it... so I just feel stuck.last night I was worried I was having a heart attack. I had a sharp random pain in my left side of my jaw that only lasted about 30 seconds maybe, then I felt like I couldn’t breathe and my heart started racing... now all day I’ve been having sharp pains in my chest and I feel weak like I can’t do anything and I’m tired of being this way... I wish it was easier. I want to be myself again. I haven’t had a job in almost a year. I’m 19 years old and it’s starting to ruin my life.

i,Im sorry to hear how your anxiety is overwhelming and the horrible feelings associated with it.I can understand your frustration and despair.......My own anxiety,when it was at its very worst has lessened considerably----it took over my every thought movements ect,and lasted almost year half----its now stress that bothers me of which Im dealing with .IN your case ,my advice is dont listen to it .lie down when your feeling dizzy;its a vicious circle as the more attention you give it the more it persists;try to get hold of DrClaire Weeks book s especially Essential help for your nerves-very self-explanatory,Im sure you will get some solid grounding on how both body &mind reacts when stressedect.......she is also online-----hope that helps--

Thank you for sharing and reaching out again. I am glad to hear you are journaling. That is so helpful to get your concerns out of you mind. After I write them I pray over them and try to let those concerns go. Give yourself a break, don’t be hard on yourself, and try keep up with intentional breathing. You are so young, this is your time to develop new habits to avoid the anxiety. I am learning to become aware when my anxiety is heightened, what is going on in my life and my body. Sometimes we are lacking nourishment we need both with food and personally. I am on a journey of self-awareness and really trying to learn with an inner healing coach why I struggle and how to let go of things from my past about myself. It is about being curious and not judgemental. I will be praying for you . Know we are here for you and we love you. Hugs

Tough times, sorry to hear about one so young being so troubled. Your anxiet can often lead to physical pain, so it is a vicious circle. I have been having some spiritual help and it is making a difference. Mine is based on the Buddhist phylosophy but there are others which are, I understand very effective in anxiety matters.

There may be a Buddhist temple in your area, so perhaps go along and talk to someone, there is also some info on Youbube. This may help you move forward, but you have to keep searching and break this cycle.

Best wishes.

PS. I am lucky enough to live part of the year in a Buddhist country and am married to a devout Buddhist.
