hi ellegirl... i have very scary anxiety attacks almost every day and every night... and im scared and worried, I don't want to be like this any more =( How do you cope??? jade_clarissa xx

[Hidden in reply to jade_clarissa]

Hi Jade, Welcome to the forum, anxiety is an unwanted pest that seems to revel in hitting us again and again until it wins and we back down x The more we give into it and let it consume us the more it wins, have you spoken to your gp about it ? There are medications that can help and also some fantastic forms of talking therapy. We all want to be free from the anxiety but the way to do it is to take back control and each time it comes tell it you don't want it, this can be hard to grasp but the therapy's teach you ways to do this x I cope by reminding myself that for all its bad it cannot kill me or harm me and i control what I do not anxiety x I hope you find some great information on site , keep posting and join in with other posts as and when you feel you can, your not alone here x Donver x P.s It was a great starter post, however can we keep the letters lower case xx

hi donver22...

thankyou so much for the advice, i'm going to try and think more towards like that from now on (it can not kill me or harm me, it can not kill me or harm me) i'm starting therapy soon i'm on the waiting list but i'll be on there for 4 to 6 months, but i have a support worker who i've only this week started working with, she seems really nice =) thanks again xx

[Hidden in reply to jade_clarissa]

Hi No probs x Yes keep repeating like that and it will sink in x Therapy lists can be shocking, i had a support worker from a community floating team she was brilliant x Hopefully it will be all you needed x

Hi Elle x How are you x I think with anxiety there is,nt many nights I go without anxiety we are joined at the hip lol xx Donver x

[Ellegirl in reply to Hidden]

Hi donver

Nice to hear from you. Yep. We all the same. Sometimes I feel we are strong people, we are not afraid to say our feàrs. Then anxiety kicks us all in the guts

Hi elle

I am not feeling as you are tonight but I have been suffering with headaches that have been worrying me causing some irrational fears because it is making the anxiety trigger of as it is saying it is serious but I have to keep pushing it away & trying not to allow it in

You are feeling anxious tonight & you know that is what you are feeling so tell yourself anxiety can't harm you because it can't , it is unpleasant but this will pass

Do you try sitting quietly & regulate your breathing

If you slowly take a deep breath in hold it for a few seconds & then slowly release it again

If there is any calming music you can play while you do this it can also help

Love

Jules,

Hello dear weird is anxiety middle name nice up hear from you

[Ellegirl]

Hi everybody

I'm over the edge today. Seriously. I'm so disturbed I feel like I'm dying. I feel so stupid and distressed at the same time and I feel nobody understands me.... Cried

lots.

Last night I watched a movie that has a theme of death and I haven't stopped obsessing about it. I went to Facebook today and I've seen this online games that you click and tells you how you gonna die and when, and because I'm so anxious I kept on clicking the game and ofcourse if you click it It will give you an answer. I'm so stupid and now I'm actually thinking about the movie I've watched and if those Facebook apps are real and I know you will all laugh but

I'm actually distressed about it.

I hate this aspect of myself, it stops me from living. Sometimes Ireally want to ran away get a divorced and live far away from all like in a forest and don't be in this world anymore. I don't wanna drag everybody In my life I wanna be alone

[Ellegirl]

I look back and see myself as a confident young woman who had the world in her feet, but now I'm

Just crying alone, I don't know how to restore that cut throat woman that I was. I was so good at my craft and now I'm just depressed and crying and I just watch others as they succeed in life knowing how good was I. No I just feel like this and it hurts me that I can't get out of this vicious cycle

[Hidden in reply to Ellegirl]

Hi Elle

I am really sorry you are feeling so bad today

I do make sure I don't watch any disturbing films or as I am watching them & realize they are I don't continue or they would have the same effect on me to

I also keep away from Google & that thing you went on is a load of rubbish no one & certainly not a site like that can predict when you are going to die

Your anxiety seems to be doing over time at the moment but you are not stupid so many of us have felt this way before

Could you possibly go & see your doctor you sound depressed as well & maybe if you agree start some medication to help you

You will break this circle you feel you are in but it is little steps if we try to rush things we feel we are failing & then it makes us more anxious

Just take any little positives you see in any day & feel good about them knowing you are slowly going to be back to how you were

Take Care

I live in Dubai. Yes it's not a bad place, but this place is far from organized. Doctors are horrible I have no idea where they bought their diplomas. No therapists here. And the medicines to calm you down are called "controlled " medicines. Not available anywhere I'm Middle East. These medicines are never gonna be available In Middle East. I've met a therapist before he charges 1000 pounds an hour. No joke. and you whywhy is doing a better job than him.

I feel so down and I don't know why I cried so much and I really want to run away from myself

[Hidden in reply to Ellegirl]

Hi Ella

You made me smile when you said you don't know where they bought their diplomas , I hope they went to medical school & that is how they go them

Sounds like your medical care is very different than in the UK & I really don't know how you would work round that

Sometimes when we cry it is like releasing all the pent up emotions & anxiety we have been holding on to & that can be why we just burst into tears & cant stop but sometimes after it can feel a relief

Try & do something really nice for yourself over the next few days

If you knew someone that was ill with something you could physically see you would take good care of them till they were better

I know we cant see anxiety it is something we can only feel if we suffer but we have to try & do the same & take real good care of ourselves till we feel better to
