So I'm pretty confused about my current situation, I know I have anxiety. No question there. I just have been getting irritated a lot. I can't ever pin point why either. I wake up dizzy most days, even after getting enough sleep, but some days I can't sleep at all. Like last night, I was feeling okay for the most part, a little anxious but I couldn't sleep. I had racing thoughts/pictures running through my head and it was making me so mad I just wanted to get up and punch something. Which isn't me. I get so mad about everything. I am fighting with my spouse over everything and I hate it. I am thinking I have add/adhd and that's why I cant really focus on breathing exercises or calming myself down that easy. I am just at a loss. I have no idea what to do at this point. I can't see a doctor for 3 months. Sucks!
Hi You could try walking if your fit enough, you want to make yourself breathless if you are physically able to do that
burning up energy or struggling with the walk may take your mind away from your thinking.
Some times getting fresh air helps to clear the mind even making a point to walking in the rain can make us feel
better.

sounds like you have classic symptoms of anxiety. Especially the racing thoughts. I’ve had anxiety since I was six years old. It got pretty severe at times. All the body symptoms, racing thoughts, the what if‘s thinking, and on and on. When you get angry and frustrated during anxiety symptoms, it actually can make it worse. Basically when this happens, your brain thinks you’re in danger so it sounds out more adrenaline which makes you feel more anxious. The key to all of this is control and there are several ways to do this. none of this is a miracle cure because for the most part, anxiety is like any other chronic condition that you can manage but possibly not cure. I’m sure there are people that have been able to totally eliminate anxiety but it doesn’t always happen. The key is to relax your mind as much as you can even with the symptoms occurring. Let them be because the more you ignore them the more they will calm down. There are many great meditations and YouTube videos on anxiety that have really helped me a lot! People on their share their anxiety stories and how they control it.
well you’re waiting to see the doctor, practice these things and remember something very important… Your thoughts are not you. They are simply thoughts that your mind has made up. They are not based on fact or reality. Let them just float across and picture them dissolving.have a nonchalant attitude towards the thoughts and immediately think of something positive, funny, happy. You are more than your thoughts.
exercise Releases endorphins in the brain which has A very positive effect on your brain. You have to have a never quit attitude otherwise anxiety will win.
BE PERSISTENT !!
