i have anxiety and panic attacks almost every single day and i have diffirent symptoms each and everyday.. Everyday is a struggle for me...Who among here feels like everyday is feels like a survival? 
It realy feels like that. And when you have an illness or ailment on top of this disorder its horrific. Just have live in the presnt moment i guess.your not alone in this.
Hey Your not alone I struggle every single day with health anxiety and panic attacks.i often wonder if I'm gonna make it through the day. It's a terrible illness and I think I constantly have cancer. I hate this!
Big hugs xx
Hang in there bud. If it was only that easy. The stuff were feeling is not real its not there. We just keep feeeding energy in those negative thoughts and thats what anxiety is all about. Try to think positive. IF its very bad then i would consider talking to someone but then when its all done they whip out their pad and pen and write you up a prescription.
I feel like this always...tonight's issue is my face feels tingly. I know it's all in my head as I was like this at Christmas time. Yesterday my legs felt pins and needles and my back hurt. I've had a headache since about 4 as well. I'm currently laid in bed hoping I feel better tomorrow. I too suffer from health anxiety and think there is something more sinister. Does anyone else get a tingly face.
You know i get face tingling thing. Like web feeling feels odd. I rub my face to make it stop. I try and ignore everything at this point in my life. No ine really mentions that. I have that since the summer on and off. Thought it was cause i clench my teeth a lot to be honest.
Dear meckam,
I can understand what you are going through. It's worse off because you have an invisible condition (not a disease and certainly not a psychiatric or mental illness), that no one can see, nor sympathize with. People just don't understand how it's like, you know, and they seem to think that the victim of anxiety and panic is just acting out.
I assure you that if you follow my suggestions, you will be liberated from anxiety and torment for life. You just have a state of mind - anxiety/panic - and states of mind come and go like the weather.
You probably know for a fact that you're not anxious and panicky 100% of the time. It's just a neuro physiological state. states of mind-body that come and go.
You have these options:
1. Psychiatric drugs (which I ask you to keep away from because you don't want their side effects)
A. TCA's lchnique ike clomipramine and Tryptomer. Relief in 3 weeks. Downside - Constipation, constant dry mouth, and worsening of panic attacks for a week.
B. SSRI's like Prozac and Zoloft - Relief in 3-4 weeks. Downside - If you are bipolar, then you may erupt into manic psychosis, SSRI's are famous for
causing suicidal and homicidal ideas in people. Paroxetine comes with a black box warning - famous people have died as a result of SSRI addiction
examples: Micheal Jackson and Whitney Houston.
C: Benzodiazepine short actors like Alprazolam. Quick relief. Downside - addiction, horrific withdrawals and rehabs.
2. CBT DBT workbooks easily downloaded for free from the net. (no piracy here - they really are free). CBT means cognitive behavioural therapy DBT means dialectical behavioural therapy. You just download a work book, and write down all the answers to the questions and follow the instructions. You'll feel amazing. You don't need a doctor for this. No expensive fees.
3. NLP - also called as Neuro-Linguistic programming is a neuroscientific technology that considers your mind as a software, and anxiety and panic as unwanted apps and viruses of the mind. NLP says you need to uninstall these panic and anxiety viruses out of your mind through a famous NLP technique called as the "swish" model and the Fast phobia cure and the Circle of excellence techniques.
4. Increasing your Emotional intelligence - these are specific instant stress relief methods.
I need your response on all this, and I would help you out here, however I need your commitment as using the techniques of NLP, EQ and CBT need a detailed discussion and guidance.
Again, I personally know the hell of panic attacks, and I attest to the effectiveness of these techniques.
Do you really want permanent liberation from intrapsychic torture?
Awaiting your response.
Have a nice day.
(Note: I never said - "just chill"
Dear meckam,
typo at "A: TCA's Ichnique ike" I meant "A: TCA's like"
Dear lisalisa67,
"Living in the present moment" is just a cliche like "belief in yourself", or "Have faith".
How do you live in the present moment?
People need specific instructions:
1. The breath and awareness of breathing as an act, is the most powerful biofeedback device known to man. Biofeedback devices play out your heart rhythm - once you have observed it for a few hours on a computer screen, you can actually control the rate, rhythm and electrical activity of your heart.
2. An EEG biofeedback device plays out your brain waves on a computer screen. The act of mere observation of these readouts allows people to control computer pointers on the screen with just their thoughts. These devices cost a more than a thousand dollars apiece.
Yet, scientifically, the ultimate device to gain biofeedback control over your mind, body and spirit is your natural breath and the mere act of observing it as you go around doing day to day activities. No need for meditation, or medications, or doctors or quacks and the like.
I have never chided you and told you this: "Just live in the moment"
I have given you an instruction manual of your brain and body for life.
Try it. Merely observe the breath without attempting to control, intefere or regulate it.
This is science at work. Not the mumbo jumbo of meditation or medications or the expensive blather of psychotherapy.
I would like your opinions on this.
Thanks.
HI
I feel that with my anxiety/depression it is a constant uphill battle.
If I do get the odd day when Im feeling ok I cant relax because I have this nagging feeling Im going to have an attack
Its a vicious cycle and it sucks
Stay strong
Living in the moment is not a cliche. Worrying about tomoorow, worrying or anticipating causes terrible anxiety. If you can stay in the moment when you become fearful, or anxiety triggers, or any horrible thing is occuring..you will be able to say..right now in this moment i am alive and i can handle this. Obviously doing everything or using every tool you know to self calm. Its is more of a mantra or a an understanding to help you get grounded. People have to learn self calming technques, that is a given. It is a saying to help you understand that in that moment, in that very moment you are able to handle whatever is happening. Its is from every single book, therapy and meditation known. So it is not a cliche at all. It is a state of being to get thru whatever anxiety you are experiencing and being able to get grounded. It doesnt delete what needs to be done, it is what needs to be done. Anxiety is worrying about the future, whats happening, am i dying, do i have cancer, can i do this, if thinking...if i go will i panic, what if i dont run to the dr will i die, what if thinking feeds anxiety period. So yes live in the moment and if you have read any of my past discussions it is doing whatever needs to be done at that moment. It is not a cliche at all. Im sorry you misunderstood.i can't write paragraphs every time so sometimes i do and sometimes i dont. Mindful techniques are all training to live and be in the moment. Every techniques to self calm is done by grounding yourself in the moment. Mediatation is science. Proper breathing is science. Thought processes is science. Everything is science if properly assesed down to the bottom line. I have done bio feedback ..guess what its science. People need to have hope and faith and self live, unconditional self love to get thru all this.is faith science? I dont know. Its whatever you believe in, or need to believe in..it can be science. We are dealing with a mal function here a very debiliating mal function that triggers fight or flight. Is that your science, yes but no scientists have figured it out at its core yet, they are trying. The pills only work half the time, not such good science. Clearly we all do breathing techniques they calm but it isnt the cure or wed be cured. Im wondering do you have a panic disorder? Have you felt the terror? Science is everything that would be a cliche, i believe you do not understand what living in the moment means. Not a game or a cliche it is a way to survive so your mind does bully you to the point of terror. Yiu cant successfully even do any of what you noted if your busy in a cycle of panic unless you clear your mind and live in the moment. We are not one dimensional characters. We are not robots. I know what its feels like to have a panic attack and how awul it gets and when meds dont work, or you cant use them. You must live in the moment to survive them so they dont cycle, so you can self calm and ground yourself. Not mumbo jumboat all. I feel like you have no clue what a panic disorder is at all. And if you have them enjoy your two scientifuc methods. But reality to do bio feedback you have to live in the moment by default. Same with breathing. Ironic isnt it. Not being rude, but maybe i am ..cause science entails everything and if you havent acquired the understanding yet, or been to hell and back with these panic attacks and they effect everything the mind, the body and the soul dont degrade what you do not understand. Or maybe you have no faith, no believe in anything but thats your ooinion and not a way to heal. Living in the moment saves a persons sanity. Thats my opinion.
You cured?
Indeed! Its a terrible illness... I wanted to quit my job bcuz of this constant attack of anxiety.. Sometimes i could not handle anymore.
thanks bud.. I tried to fight the negative thoughts but sometimes when i feel some discomfort and its lead to panic attack.. Its annoying
Hi bud, everytime anxiety strikes i do feel some discomfort on the jaw area.. And some backpains.
hi, thanks mate
yeah everyday is a uphill battle... I can only relax with im about to sleep..but when im awake lets say.. 75% of my day consumed by anxiety and its really sucks!
