Awful day today. Indescribable headache, low back pain and weak legs. Dizzy and trembling. When can we escape from the living hell that is anxiety.
I'm in the same boat today....so frustrating to have these physical symptoms all the time....I had a manageable day yesterday, so am trying to stay positive....I find that the more I struggle against it, the worse I feel, so I try to just accept that it's anxiety and not get stuck in the worry trap....all easier said than done, I know...I do spend a fair amount of time despairing that I'll never feel well again....but I have to believe that I (and we all) will...it's just going to take some time (and work)....know that you're not alone in this....
i know how your feeling and you may think im crazy for saying this but you need to stop blaming anxiety for how you are feeling! i mean yes it is anxietys fault for making us feel like crap and wanting to kill ourselves every time we have a panic attack! but the sooner that we realise that if we keep on saying "oh its just anxiety" nothing is going to get better! nobody is going to help us untill we start to help ourselfs. i am still just 16 but i have had anxiety for longer than i can remember and it does still get really bad depending on the day but as soon as i realised that i had to be the one to help me, it did start to get better. i now dont take and medication or go to CBT and i still have a normal life even though i have to deal with the monster that is anxiety. i realised that by blaming it on something else doest make it better or make it acceptable in any way. you have to take the horse by the reins and point it in the direction that you want to go, stop letting the monster determine you or your life! so when your having a bad day just stop, breath, relax and live your life how you want to live it! make your own decisions about how the day is going to go and stop letting anxiety take over!
relaxation, hot baths, exercise and positive thoughts.
