Quelqu'un a-t-il essayé l'acupuncture pour l'anxiété ?

Had some treatment yesterday! My accupuncturist doesn't seem to understnad why I am anxious ! Well neither am I.....all I know is that it all started prior to telling someone I had strong feelings for them. It was the most scariest thing I'd EVER done and 2 weeks prior to this I got massive panic attacks , they seemed to remain even after I told this person. Anyhow , yesterday I was real nervous getting accupuncture so I had some tingly anxiety sensations. I know I was meant to relax and I tried as best as I could and tried breathing! I am yet to be prescribed herbs as well. I kind of knew I prb wouldn't sleep though despite having accupuncture. Took a sleeping tab as usual and woke up with same symptoms. - achinf back, tummy nauseous . I feel sick all day despite not having any major attack. I do try be positive but then it's like I still feel weird I'm really over this! Idk what else to do ........When I woke up my tonsils were okay and not choking me untill I got up and I guess started to worry again

Je n'ai pas essayé l'acupuncture mais si ça marche, ça marche. Je prends actuellement des médicaments et j'utilise des techniques de respiration profonde qui semblent aider.

Dire à quelqu'un ce que vous ressentez pour lui peut être une période très stressante et angoissante. Les crises de panique sont les pires et semblent contrôler chaque partie de votre corps.

Vous devriez être fier d'avoir eu le courage de dire à quelqu'un ce que vous ressentez. Ça prend du cran. Ne pas savoir comment cette personne va réagir ou parler est suffisant pour causer de l'anxiété.

Moi aussi, je me suis sentie mal. Ne pas vouloir manger, juste me sentir misérable. J'ai fait quelques respirations profondes que beaucoup sur ce forum ont suggérées ainsi que mon psychologue. Une autre fille du forum a trouvé des techniques sur youtube. Ça vous apprend à respirer par le ventre et pas par la poitrine. Vous devriez essayer.

Prenez-vous des médicaments ou faites-vous l'approche holistique ? J'ai bu du Kava et de la tisane de camomille en plus de mes médicaments.

Je ne sais pas si ce que je dis aide ou non mais tout ce que je peux dire c'est que tout ira bien. Je suis au milieu de cette chose d'anxiété et je survis et vous aussi.

Continuez à poster ici. Il y a beaucoup de soutien pour vous. Je trouve une quantité incroyable de paix quand je viens en ligne.

Tenez bon. Cherchez ces techniques de respiration et essayez-les. Je sais qu'au début elles semblent stupides mais soyez engagé envers elles.

Je vous envoie des ondes positives et vous souhaite le meilleur. Prenez soin de vous.

An acupuncturist doesn't need to know why you are anxious. not part of their training...they are not psychologists. What kind of licenses does this person have?  If they are prescribing herbs, be sure to check with your doctor before taking...especially if you are even on one drug!!!!!!!!!

What kind of licenses does this person have, Amba? He/she should have been able to relax you to some degree fairly quickly by finding your "hot" zones.

Hi cia! Thanks for your suport yet again! Yes they are a top accupuncturist ! HJighly recommend and he has his own website with amazing testimonials from a significant amount of people. He is one of the best I have been told I am not on any drugs currently, just a lot of natural remedies and I rarely eat sugar, never drink or smoke. 

Hi!! Thansk for all your amazing support! Thanks, I do feel glad that I summond up the courage to tell this person! I thought it would have been all over after telling them but sadly I was left with anxiety....I am taking A LOT of natural medication which I guess helps to some degree. I try breathing but then give up because the fear seems to take over so I think what's the point.... I have had kava in the past that didn't seem to do much , prob because I was already adreanal fatigued to the max ! Feel embarrased constantly going to practioners too! It's like I feel real bad when I go back and I am no better and I think they would wonder what's wrong with my head and/or why their treatment isn't working?! You know. I just think I should stop altogether but im afraid I'd barely be able to function without some means of treatment... 

Thank you for answering. It seems you have done your homework. Well done, Amba. Whoever prescribes herbs, make sure they know all you are using. Hooray for you for a good diet, and do remember to stay well hydrated. I know we will all look forward to hearing how this goes, Sweetheart. I am very proud of you.

hmm yup! I don't eat much, hate food lol! Usually just drink liquids or protein shakes! Yes I will ask him what's in it! I am pretty sure he knows what he's doing though as he did an evaluation of my body over all and was quite shocked with my state and weight ..........Made me feel bad but at least he knows what to work on, eg- Spleen, Kidneys etc...

Hi amba,

I've struggled with anxiety for years and i thought it was under control until 2wks ago when it started to get really bad again.

I take meds and the doctor has prescribed me beta blockers on top.

I have no idea what I'm anxious about this time to start it all up. Everyone keeps asking me and when I say I don't know it's like I'm hiding it from them.

Anyway after really feeling low I've looked into acupuncture. I'm willing to try anything.

Would U recommend it, has it made any difference?

Keep going, you'll get through this x

Hi Helen, so sorry you have suffered like this for so long!! I have only had one session but I have read really good results for people suffering GAD and panic disorder. I know it helps balance organs which in hand go with anxiety or either trigger anxiety. I know accupuncture can help an array of things like depression, addiction, insomnia, musculoskeletal problems allergies , anxiety and the list goes on! I think you need to find a reputable one in your area as some are not very good at what they do . I'll let u know how it goes for me! ! x Keep strong and carry on is what I like to say

are you afraid of needles and can't relax? Maybe you should try to relax first then go.
