so fed up

[dizzychar]

I feel so rubbish, not having a panic attack but feeling so uneasy, questioning everything if I feel ok, is my throat tight breathing shallow? I’m just so sick of it, my moods are all over the place and I don’t no how to control it, find myself literally plodding through the days as best I can, I’m just really not enjoying anything, overeating and then feeling so sad about it in the evenings, cry over the slightest things

I read in your last post that you were going to see a doctor. Have you had that appointment yet?

[dizzychar in reply to gajh]

I don’t remember saying I was going to see a doctor, I mean I could probably do with seeing one but I just can’t face it at the moment, I just feel stupid constantly

[gajh in reply to dizzychar]

Oh sorry. It is not your fault what you are going through.

Hi dizzychar...it's hard to feel good when the thoughts all around us are playing the

same tune over and over. Focusing in on our physical symptoms is a habit that we

have developed over the years with Anxiety.

As much as the thoughts grow so does the negativity. What ifs can start to play

into the lies our mind tells us. Before long, we believe in what we are thinking

which then goes into a physical feeling making us doubt our sanity.

One way to get rid of these thoughts is to retrain our brain. Habits can be broken.

Takes time but it can be done.

For myself, I'm sure you know that I am a big believer in Meditation/Breathing exercises.

It took me to where I am today. In control of my life again.

Affirmation Meditation can convince your subconscious mind that you are okay by

listening to these positive words day after day. Falling asleep to Affirmation are

picked up by the subconscious mind and eventually convinces it (retrains it) to accept

only the positive thoughts.

It must be a daily process. You must basically live and breathe positivity to see a

results. Adding methods and tools for coping skills also helps. It is a lifelong concept

of healing practices. Sorry for the long winded response. Breathe xx

Hope your ok x

Hi! Is there an app you use for any of these meditations or affirmations?

[Agora1 in reply to Plantlover14]

Hi Plantlover14, I don't have a smart phone but use my computer (YouTube) to find

different meditations that include affirmations, imagery, relaxation, self hypnosis etc.

A new meditation may take up to 30 days for our brain to adjust to it but continuing

on will only make you more powerful and more in control of using these tools/methods

when you need a quick fix. It works faster for me than any pill ever did and lasts

longer ...

We each find what works for us and then continue using it. It's not a one time fix. xx

Thank you!

Health anxiety is exhausting. I am on the list to see someone about it. Apparently CBT is very effective to treat it long term and I hope that it is. I learned recently that some people are hyper sensitive about what is going on in their bodies that could be a factor. While i'm waiting i'm trying a few things, exercise seems to help me, transcendental meditation also seems to work sometimes. I hope you feel better soon.

Thank you, I have had cbt in the past, I did go for quite a while where I was loads better and just the odd blip, I’ve had so much going on lately and it’s crept back in

Thanks for your reply I hope it helps for you and you feel better soon
