been well for couple f weeks and back to excercise, but forsome reason breathless and axious yet again, going out making me dizzy and palpitations with missed heartbeats and very panicky indeed waiting to keel over, its awful very lonely and frigtening, now avoiding things more and more and just took to my bed most of day yesterday. Dont beleive all is ok, have some acid refulx been to GP and A & E recenly for checks told all anxiety. but how to relax any suggestions as am frightened again for now. thanks
Hi Debi Excercise def helps with anxiety.. for me it helped a lot with depression and i think the key is to be very busy. Satying in bed makes everything worse, I know from my own experiences. besides yoga and meditation which helps me a lot, I use a social network Anxiety Social Net and its so helpful knowing I am not alone. really supportive community , you should def try..
hope it will help at least with the loneliness feelings
Try to relax doing things that you really enjoy doing.
Maybe listening to music, maybe getting out and about now that the weather is improving, in fact anything that you really like doing that might relax you.
Have you considered having a day pampering yourself with a new hairdo and/or a massage?
Debi,
When sufferring with anxiety we all tend to blow simple things out of proportion which causes us more worry and our bodies react to these feelings. Certainly getting out more and focusing on new challanges helps to take our mind of the negitive feelings that can cause anxiety. Speaking to people can also alliviate concerns as well so please talk to someone about how you really feel, people will want to help. Please take care of yourself. Pete
