Hello, I wondered if someone could help me? December last year I lost my job and became very ill with anxiety such as intense headaches, dizziness, pains, nausea, memory loss and just a sense of not knowing myself.It was literally the worse time of my life and last week I lost my job and now dealing with the stress again I can feel all of those feelings creeping back up on me I dont feel normal, i feel lost and i am getting headaches im scared that this is coming back and this time im not strong enough to fight it off and close to giving up can anyone suggest anything that may help stop this before its too late 😢? Casey
Have you been to your gp?
How did you get through it last time?
Try and occupie your mind on somthing, during the day I used to walk miles , also reading books in the book shops about anxiety and depression.
Watching funny programes even if u have to watch it over abd over.
The core of anxiety is uncertainty. That's what it feeds on. Not many things I re certain in life are they. So you will always find elements of uncertainty and what ifs. You will be strong enough you will find the strength you just do. Anxiety produces symptoms which are horrid but it's not linked to breakdowns in anyway or going crazy as you prob think. You need to challenge it with positives. Like why wouldn't I cope I always have and you will. You will get through this
Remind yourself that you got through this last time & you WILL get through it again.
Get yourself a good book to lose yourself in whenever you're feeling overly anxious. Perhaps a self help book too? I've just started reading one and find it helps a little.
Take care of yourself, try to get to bed early and eat well if you can. Meditate. Tell people how you're feeling - let the people close to you know that you're struggling. Just be aware of how you feel and know that if it doesn't get better your GP can help. And you've been here before so you know you can do it again x
