I understand how you feel. This is a process it really is but hang in there this too shall pass.
Thanks I really hope it's like a sickness that'll go away but in my case I don't see that happening I been living with stress nd worry all my life
Like most ppl you have to change your way of thinking i know, i know it's easier said then done but pushing through is truly hard, but things will get better once you just get in your mind enough is enough
That is so true but the dizzyness nd feeling down is hard to overcome no matter how hard I distract myself from stressing the feelings are still there I feel like there's something wrong with my heart but been to the hospital 4 times nd they all say I'm fine
Not sure what to believe only thing that helps me is my pills
I live a normal life now nothing major to stress about but just the littlest things trigger my anxiety
Hi Shelly, I use to feel this same way and understand how awful this feels with all the ups and downs, and how much you want to get a hold on this and get some peace. For me, i found that my magnesium levels and D3, and B complex were very low, and that i needed calcium carbonate with them in order for any of them to even be adequately absorbed. My moods and anxiety were all tied in hugely due to malabsorption and low levels of primarily magnesium glycinate, caused my moods and sleep patterns and hormone levels to be very poorly balanced. Doctors don't very often check magnesium levels, which are responsible for over 300 enzyme reactions, involving cognition, moods. But in order for magnesium glycinate to be absorbed into the bloodstream, this needs to be in a 1:1 ratio with calcium carbonate, and is crutial to take with D3 (I take 2000 mg - 5000mg daily), as they all need each other for assimilation. A multivitamin with high b complex needs to be taken also, as these are the stress vitamins that are depleted and not stored in the body. B complex is also very important because it is being lost and greatly depleted, with high stress, anxiety, our lifestyles, environments, and things such as coffee or caffeine products, sugar, and low amts of water daily. My moods, cycles, and sleep patterns corrected themselves, by making these changes and evened out by 90%. Eventually I started exercising for small amts of time which really made an even bigger difference. I found with these things, i no longer needed the medication zoloft, and I began feeling like a new person. I have no idea why doctors do not watch magnesium (mag glucinate) levels closely, and will tell you these changes above have had a profound effect for me. I wish you the very best.
I go through it too. I understand
I found that my anxiety and irritation were also tied in with earlier childhood and parental experiences and environments, internal and external demands, to many compromises for my individual needs, that were triggered quite easily, interrupting my sleep patterns and interferring with my ability to handle many normal stresses. The changes above were hugely needed to balance out my fluctuating, triggered anxiety and mood irritations, as was taking more time for myself.
Wow yeah thanks for the info I know im very unhealthy so I'll look into getting more help from my doctor I been lossin weight due to loss of appite I'm 21nd only weight 85 pounds which to me isn't normal
I just really wanna understand anxiety nd why the call it a mental problem but it causes real sickness nd fast heart rate that causes chest pains don't add up to me
Doctors do not advocate much for supplementation, or affects of things luke caffeine on the nervous system. I did not have encouragement or support, but discovered this through research and personal interest in taking control of my health in this way.
Anxiety triggers a fight or flight response..which releases adrenaline into the blood stream, and causes the heart to best very fast. When this happens, the vascular system constricts, effecting many body systems, and one of them is chest pains, as carbon dioxide builds up in the lungs. It is in the catagory of a mental condition, because it is emotional responses (trained or instigated by self or others) that are triggering the anxious response.
Hi Shelly, that disen't sound very good. I suggest you make appoint with your gp.
