i feel like I'm going crazy.

6 Replies

At the pit of my chest I've been feeling a constant dread, anxious feeling that is driving me mad till I i take the atavin.

It makes me want to have a good scream or a good cry.

I feel like I have to keep moving if I stop I feel jittery.

Meds are the only ones calming me down, I don't want that, I don't want to have to depend on those to calm me down.

It's like at any minute I'll loose control and I'll be a crazy person, please has anyone felt this before??

Yes, all the time! I've experienced every symptom possible with my anxiety. Like yourself, I don't want to depend on meds. I pray that you overcome your anxiety. Blessings to you!

Hi Yaz. Give yourself the freedom to scream and cry if you need to. Let it out! Sometimes it's best not to hold those feeling in. I understand not wanting to be on meds but if they are helping don't beat yourself up over it.

I have not been on a regiminine of meds. I told my doctor I wanted to help myself without them. He warned me it would be more challenging but I wanted to try. I made changes in my life to help me. I exercise regularly, meditate, eat healthier, removed constant stressors. I'm in no way perfect at any of those things, but I have to say I feel better and have been able to calm myself when I feel anxious because I try everyday to stay motivated to move forward.

Keep your head up, if the meds help then that's good but try other stuff too... You never know what will help.

Wishing you all the best.

Thank you Petita :)

I just feel if I do scream it out I will loose control.

Yesterday when I felt like screaming I cried it all out, I told my husband everything I felt and it did feel better. :)

I'm still dealing with constant anxious feeling in my chest though :(

Hope you are doing well??

I can completely relate. I often feel like I am going crazy and that my mind will eventually be lost to this terrible affliction. The mental symptoms of dread are the worst. Hang in there.

It's horrible to think that you can just loose your mind like that. I had an episode again today and I cried it out and it helped :)

Maybe that's what we need sometimes to actually scream it out or cry it out.

Hope we get better soon
