Anxiety Jitters???

[EmmaEllie]

Also, has anyone else experienced what I can only refer to as internal vibrations or jitters...especially in the legs... there's no physical shaking...its all internal... sometimes when its real bad, I feel it all over. I think its anxiety related, but when I explain it to others or my dr, no one seems to be able to relate. And if anyone out there has experienced this or is, can you please offer some advice on how to deal with it or what med you took to help deal with it. It's quite maddening..😢😢

I will agree EmmaEllie, that the feeling is quite maddening. As I sit here typing, I am experiencing internal vibrations. This happens when we are highly under stress. This

comes from the fact that our nervous system is over sensitized. The nerves don't have

any way of expelling the adrenaline but to vibrate and shake it off internally.

Now you will notice, if you get your mind on something else or do some physical

chores, it will go away. It's more likely to happen when you are relaxing due to the

subconscious mind continually playing over when has you stressed.

Meditation and breathing can also help to dispel these feelings. I hope this helps some xx

Have you ever tried anxiety meds for it?

[EmmaEllie in reply to EmmaEllie]

I have an inordinate amount of stress.. mainly from family. And it's not going away anytime soon... The family stress that is. And it makes it hard to function at work seeing s how its sometimes hard to concentrate when your inside are constantly playing pinball

I've had the vibrations ... and real internal jitters. That's classic anxiety. I had a severe case. You wouldn't believe all that it can do, It mimics disease. I had so many tests ....... I gave up and realized ALL strange physical manifestations and symptoms were from the anxiety.

That's when I set about to learn all I could about it. Once I discovered it's a harmless paper tiger .... we give it its energy and power over us through 'fear', then I set about to heal it naturally.

I was successful and put it into remission years ago. You can do the same . . .

What did you do...

[The_Lord_is_with_Us in reply to EmmaEllie]

My plan that broke the severe anxiety cycle .... then began the healing that kept it in remission.

(1) It was so severe that a short session (30 days) of Ativan barbiturate was needed to break the cycle. No more than that so as not to get addicted. (This is optional. Perhaps it can be done with some of the lighter, natural tips below.)

(2) Then, I educated myself on what exactly anxiety is. I read books written for sufferers on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) ... and I ordered some online Anxiety Help courses with MP3's and work books. Both helped me tremendously to understand what it was. The online help courses were created by severe sufferers, so they know.

(3) Then, I began to de-stress my life. No politics. No upsetting news. No TV shows that irritated or hyped me. NO staring at a phone all day long. I replaced the bad with good: tackling all areas of my life where I needed help, like sleeping.

(4) My sleep was terrible, so I started doing guided meditation every day (using famous UK hypnotist Glenn Harrold's CD's. First one was COMPLETE RELAXATION). I initiated a bed routine. No food or water 3+ hours before bed. Black out shades in room. White noise machine next to bed. One hour before bed, I took 1mg of Melatonin. If that didn't work, I bumped it up '1mg' to max of 3mg. If that didn't work, I switched to Valerian herb capsule. If that didn't work, then I did both. During daytime .... I would take a Stress Formula like Gaia Stress Response .. and drink calming teas all day, like chamomile. Finally, I would put several drops of Lavender Essential Oils on each side of my pillow (does wonders for sleep).

(5) Then, I cleaned up my diet. Out with all the stimulants: caffeine, soda pop, sugar, corporate food, fast food, alcohol, cigarettes, candy, bakery goods, refined carbs, bad fats and oils, etc. In with close to the earth, low-processed foods (organic and plant-based, if possible). Drank lots of filtered, clean water. Took a green powder supplement like spirulina and chlorella each day and a quality multi-vitamin (no garbage).

(6) Next, I instituted an exercise program. I used walking. Built up to 3 hours each day (10+ miles). However, you don't have to go that far. Just get moving. Helps with everything: weight, mood, sleep, digestion, toxin elimination, metabolism, etc.

(7) Then, you need to quit focusing internally and switch to external healthy focus, so start a hobby or two. I chose photography, but it could be anything you enjoy. Preferably anything that gets you away from social media.

(8) I chose no prescription drugs. None of them were healing or helpful for me. You can use valerian as a calmative during the daytime (and there are other herbs and supplements that work the same way as prescription drugs. Just find something that takes the edge off for you.)

(9) Get spiritual. Read the Bible everyday. Jesus had plenty to say about anxiety. Give your 'worries' to Him and you'll soon find miraculous healing.

(10) Change your negative thinking (you'll learn about this in CBT books). Anxious people think in 'Good / Bad' and 'White / Black' extremes about all issues. Healthy thoughts consider all the variations of gray in the middle between the extremes. Not EVERYTHING is a catastrophe or WILL BE a catastrophe.

(11) Recognize that anxiety will not harm you like you think it will. It's a paper tiger that incites FEAR in you, so it can feed and grow. Once you defuse it .... your on your way to healing.

(12) It won't fade overnight ... but if you chip away at it from various angles laid out in this post, soon you will be in control and it will recede. Soon ... anxiety will become just a bad memory you've left behind.

It's easy to do. Just get started. Once you face it down ... that's when you gain control of your anxiety. It knows you're the Boss and its days are numbered. Good Luck!

Hi I get what I call buzzing at night. It effects my whole body. I suffer from extreme anxiety at times, but I think I relate this more to hormones.

[EmmaEllie]

I've looked into that..I don't think that's it...I think its anxiety..I just don't know how to get rid of it or address it.. and nobody can understand unless they have it
