My family is telling me get over this,"Anxiety" is in your mind if you feed your mind with stupid ideas that is what im going to get symptoms after symptoms .im so alone no one understands what i have been through and still , they think i over react , trying to explain that i don't want to over react but thats part of anxiety that's way you drink medication to relax , but who you talking to... i cant say i feel this or that cause they will rroll their eys. Im so tired of this anxiety how can i be happy when my symptoms are with me everyday , for sure i will be either lightheaded, numbness on my face , heart is trying to get of my chest, my ears ring like creazy everyday symptoms after symptoms.i dont want to do anything just stay home.
It's real to you,It makes me angry at these people hey they want to walk the walk until then they shouldn't say what they do ,it could so easily be them in this situation. None of us want it who does.Youve got no life so to speak .Pills don't fix it for most of us so no quick fix for some .Stay on site better to talk to ones who do know. X
families often just cant accept these things - i often too wonder why, im sure most times its just they dont know how to process it. it doesnt help i know, when talking sometimes can help so much. i agree pills arent always the fix, but therapy can help a lot, might be worth considering?
This sounds exactly like me ! Do you know what triggers your anxiety?
Hi - not very helpful really. There are 3 things I recommend for anxiety, and they are all worth about the same on my justfixit scale. Meds - try Mirtazapine for anxiety. Has side effects, but therapeutic effect is often good and quick. It's been around long enough now to cost about the same as aspirin. CBT - get onto the NHS Talking Therapies folks. This is v helpful to identify triggers and create some useful responses. This is a slow burner. Both these things are available via family GP. And finally Aerobic Exercise, ideally 30 to 60 mins at a nice sweaty deep breathing pace. Every day, body willing. This triggers all the right hormones naturally and reduces the impact of anxiety attacks if they occur. I use all 3 of these and it has helped me a lot. I tried a number of other things that didn't help, but that's another story. All the best and do keep writing in, as there is always someone here to listen. David.

I've just showered dressed but I weighed myself and in the last month I've put on nearly a stone what did I do then ( eat chocolate ) now what ? Think I need to buy a good diet book more missery what are we doing to our selves but maybe that's why I'm feeling rubbish just want to keep punishing myself for something comfort eating gives me something else to feel anxious about.
A lot of people comfort eat or the opposite don't want to eat with anxiety,I know that will worry you but remember if you lost it you would worry more.
well done showered and dressed it is your day off so think of you some TLC
i have tried for 2 weeks to not to eat chocolate see if it helps with headaches.
only used to have a couple of squares some nights.But we just try anything.
Chewing on wasps that gave me the smile of the day ,will use that good description of it.Any more gems like that one out there? bring them on .
Hi Ten re read your post the ear ringing may just be tinnitus that's either ringing (hissing) mine that goes on all day long that will give you anxiety look up tinnitus had this 8 years if it is and just started it can in early days just stop . Just a thought x
