I cant conrol my anxiety and panic. Cant sleep, cant eat which is stressing me more. DO NOT want to take medication my doctor said I should take propranolol to calm down and I need to to control this but I want to do it without, I cant help but think of side affects. Ive had this for years but never this severe. I took my first setraline on saturday which I was anxious about especially after reading the reviews and havent stopped panicking since. Havent took another one nor will I. How to calm down? Am I going insane? Constantly feel like im dreaming. Can someone help? Not sure whether to go to college if it will make it worse or not. Haven't been to work on the weekend or college today. Will this go away? Doing these things makes me severely anxious but so does staying at home. Doe anyone else feel like this? How did you overcome it?
Oi Christine,
Você realmente deveria trabalhar com seu médico. Se você não quiser tomar medicação, talvez devesse ver um terapeuta. Talvez a terapia conversacional possa ajudá-la. Você poderia tentar manter sua mente ocupada fazendo exercícios e outras coisas. A meditação definitivamente poderia ajudá-la. Mindfulness e ioga são algumas outras coisas a considerar. Os melhores votos para você!
I phoned the place they sent me for referral yesterday and I have an appointment only on the 25th of november. I got a woman to phone me back and she said she will try and get me sooner if there is a cancellation. That I should go to college today and tell my lecturer and I can get counselling at college. I dont know how to calm myself, what if therapy doesnt help?
Also nervous to go to college with the way I'm feeling.
Olá
Sinto muito que você esteja se sentindo assim. Acredito honestamente que trabalhar com seu médico é a melhor abordagem aqui. A ansiedade leva tempo para se acalmar, infelizmente ela não desaparece da noite para o dia. Especialmente se estiver afetando seu trabalho e faculdade. Cheguei a um ponto em que tive um mês de folga da universidade e do trabalho quando ficou tão ruim. Foi difícil voltar a acompanhar.
O Propranolol para os impulsos adrenais que causam os sintomas de ataque de pânico e realmente acalma o corpo (para os tremores, palpitações, etc). Consegui passar por muito com ele. Agora só o tomo quando necessário.
O principal é usá-lo como uma muleta para trabalhar sua questão de ansiedade com um terapeuta, embora os tempos de espera sejam frequentemente longos.
O melhor que você pode fazer sem medicação é beber chá de camomila para acalmar seu sistema nervoso e praticar algumas respirações profundas no YouTube, apenas para se acalmar e se concentrar.
Espero que isso ajude.
Eu costumava ler os efeitos colaterais também. Sou muito sugestionável e acho que, por ler os efeitos colaterais, eu realmente os teria. Então, o que fiz foi parar de pesquisá-los. Basta garantir que outra pessoa faça isso. Sinto isso também, mas não consegui superar. Ouvi dizer que a terapia cognitivo-comportamental pode ajudar. Junto com a medicação. 😊Boa sorte!
Estou passando pela mesma coisa que você está passando. Eu sei como você se sente, é horrível. Você só sente como se estivesse morrendo, mas não está. Eu só tenho 16 anos e a vida é difícil e parece irreal para mim. Também tenho tontura muito forte e isso é horrível, mas fique forte e saiba que há pessoas que passaram pelo que você está passando.

Honey. I went through EXACTLY what you are going through now. My life was going good until one night I woke up in the middle of the night with a panic attack. From that point I constantly worried about when the next attack would be as well as I started worrying about everything that was happening to me. I started analyzing every thought and feeling I was having. My doctor gave me Lexapro, I took it one time and had a major panic attack and til this day I have not taken another medicine of any kind. I mean so much as a tylenol. There would be days when the anxiety and panic attacks would be so strong I would feel so restless and just start moving cleaning house, shopping, anything to calm down. I went down that road for about 4 months before my husband finally convinced me to go to a therapist. (I was just like you letting all the "what ifs" stop me. I went back to work which was really hard and was going to a therapist having 3-5 panic attacks a day. I just kept going. Its what we HAVE to do. 11 months later now, I still have a LOT of anxious thoughts and sometimes I still have panic attacks but thanks to therapy I have learned how to realize it is just my anxiety and I have to keep going about what I have to do. It DOES get better. Always say "this too shall pass"
I will say though it only got better for me when I decided to stand up and face it.
GOOD LUCK TO YOU!!!!
Thank you its really difficult im trying but its so hard once i start feeling anxious. Dont know where to go to feel calm. Did you ever have the feeling you were in like a dream almost that gets to me the most.
Thank you I am trying just worried about my eating though how do I get my appetite back.
Thank you, yea im going yo try the cbt therapy. Hope it works
Thank you, yea seeing how many people feel like this makes me feel a bit better. Was feeling like im going insane. Good luck to you to
Hope you get through this too. It really sucks
Oh yeah! I felt like that often. Sometimes I still do. I just keep thinking "its just my anxiety" it will go away. Sometimes I have theses moments like de ja vu, sometimes I feel like I can't hold my head up because Im so tired, and other times I feel like I can't sit still. Anxiety for me came and still does come out in so many different ways. For the longest time, I convinced myself it was not anxiety because I was having so many different symptoms. It just sucks. Take it from me though, don't let it control you. I used to avoid going places and doing things, I don't anymore. No matter how uncomfortable I am, I go on about my day. We have to.
