So I've been struggling with GAD&health anxiety for the past two months. I've also been depressed since I was 13, I'm 28 now. I've had all the common anxiety symtoms and some weird ones too.
All of today my right leg (from hip to knee)has been hurting/tingling. I felt real depressed and overwhelmed about my gf leaving me so I had a good cry for like 20 minutes. After the crying spell my leg pain disappeared! That's the weirdest thing to happen so far.
Any idea why crying eased my discomfort?
Wat are your anxiety symptoms because i wanna see if we have the same ones because i be thinking im going crazy wit these weird anxiety symptoms
Sense of relief. It lowered your anxiety and stress level.
Maybe I should cry more then, since it works faster than anything else! Haha:p
Here's a list of symtoms I've had over a 2months period:
Dizziness
Fatigue
Loss of appetite
Constipation/diarrhea
Pain in my leg, arms,back,shoulders,neck
Headaches
Can't stay asleep
Horrible nighmares
Lump in throat
Sweaty cold hands
Weakness
Hypochondria (always thinking I'm dying)
Numb/dead left arm
Chest/heart pain
Parts of my body feels sore/bruised
Okay yes i have those and try to relax if you can trust me i know its hard because sometimes im sick and don't wanna do nothing but lay in bed and maybe i should try crying also lol
Anxiety can be brought on by stress especially when your holding your feelings in so letting it out helped ease the stress and took your mind off the "hurt".
I'm usually an active girl, I love running especially. Now I don't wanna work out because I feel i'll drop dead or my body will break. I'm so keyed up all the time.
The depression is even worse with anxiety, then my damn gf breaks up with me. We still talk and I so wanna tell her how badly I need her support but I don't wanna come across as insecure again. That's why she took off to begin with. I'm hurting so much and I can't even be honest about it.
Yeah crying helps me also especially when I'm missing my mom ❤️ It's like the anxiety lifts a little
Hi. I think crying can reduce anxiety. It releases it think most people with or without anxiety would say they feel better after a good cry ! Anxiety effects relationships it's hard for our partners ! Your actually very strong and it's the anxiety of the break up that's the hardest to deal with as its a change and the situation will make you more anxious so you feel needy. Give yourself Some time and keep talking on here or to people you can trust It will pass. X
Panic disorder. You have many of the classic symptoms. You must learn to properly breathe. You are absolutely shallow breathing and hyperventilating. Your muscles are tensing and it is draining and exhausting in your body.Cbt and mindfullness breathing techniques. Look when all this anxiety is bullying your body around its natural to believe your really ill with some ohysicall ailment. Hypochondria or health anxiety is stigmatized and many have no clue how debilitating it all is and real these attacks are. Peak on pinterest infograohics on panic disorder and anxiety. b complex, holy basil (half a cuo chopped a day) fresh ginger slices in soup or tea, lots of fresh water and if you enjot bananas and avocados.

Crying releases endorphins in your brain. So crying is just as good as taking an Ativan or klonipin.
When we cry we release endorphins, which are our natural feeling good chemicals. What are you doing to cope and manage your GAD and depression?
