Has someone upset you ?
BOB
Thank you! I do believe you are truly amazing and more importantly, sincere. Thank you for taking the time to reach out to me x
Hi honey, I'm as happy as Larry _whoever Larry is! No one has upset me. I've just felt a bit rundown lately and it seems to affect my mental health. I tend to become extremely analytical. I analyse everything and ruminate philosophically. My mind is racing 100mph and there's no respite. I drive myself mad!!? I feel good now though. Tonight I'm gonna have a good time, I feel alive. I'm floating around in ecstacy. Don't stop me now... Bob, I can't think of a better or more deserving person than yourself to validate my point in my earlier post. It's because of people like you that the concept of these forums benefit so many people. You make it work. Thank you. Take care, and DONNA XXX
im like that too,. i think alot, analyse alot, and since ive been ill, ive been looking into phycology and philosphy trying to find answers. i am waiting for my therapy as its 3 months away due to there being a long list. i hope i get better, i hope i get cured. people say its unlikely, but i can make it possible as my will power is stronger than ever. and im glad there are people like me who understand, know and feel the same about this. for othrs this will be a start through finding out theyre ill and for some this may be near the end but watever the line/goal, we will make it.
Needed that. Anxiety makes you feel so alone. I’m new to this and it’s scaring the crap out of me.. I will get through this!! Been on Zoloft 2 days.... so I know I need to be patient.
Hey Gigi honey, I definitely agree with you about how it makes you feel scared. If someone asked me to describe how anxiety and panic attacks feel. I would say it's like my nerves are shot! Gittery, shaky, trembling, can't think straight. Just blind panic really. You've only just started tablets. I'm sure you will feel better soon. But it takes time as they take a while to get into your system. Don't expect over-night miracles and too much to soon. If you start feeling scared, then just remind yourself that you've made the first, crucial step towards helping yourself. You are on the right path to getting better and recovery. Message me anytime honey. Donna xxx
Talk about a over night miracle when I as cross tapering off celexa to Zoloft the first dose on the first day stopped my interusive thoughts it was nuts. Then they came back. That was 4 months ago I’m now on 200MG and trying to get By day by day. We are all in this together. Much love and best of health everyone
Hi Nicole, thanks for responding to me. I would say don't over-analyse the but that is a bit hypocritical! I'm just saying, It doesn't help as it makes you more stressed. Honey, if you know that nothing has happened in your life which could have caused you to feel this way, I don't think you will find the the answers in books. Don't get me wrong, it's really useful to read up on it. As you will gain a better understanding. I think the therapy will really help its just a shame you have to wait so long. If you are trying to work out what has caused you to feel unwell, think about what has happened in your life.you may unlock the key. It could be stress building up over a long period of time. It could be this, it could be that. If there is nothing, then stop looking! . Concentrate on the here and now and know you are doing everything to help yourself. Things will improve, I'm sure. Message me anytime and Privately if youd prefer. Donna xxx
Im not lookinh for answrrs for my illness,I.e the cause, but its taught me techniques on how and why the brain reacts with stress such as fight and flight and wat techniques were helpful, im just looking for the most in my life instead of being burdened with pain. This hasnt stressed me out but made me think, how people think and react to these things, and I apply this to my life. A therapist will not give u answers, its all up to u, everythin is up to u. And this is where im learning bout how my body is reacting and, step by step knowing the cause, but yh, this helped me more than anythin.
You’re an angel. Thank you Donna.... Great advise on not having super high expectations too soon - guilty lol. I keep asking myself if I’m a crazy person over and over. Like I said earlier, this came out of no where. I’m 39 and never
Experienced these types of emotions or the constant worry. My mind won’t stop. I was trying cbd oils and natural things but I had to turn to medicine. I just couldn’t function anymore. I’m even scared to drive and I’ve driven my entire life!!! Is this normal? What the heck has caused this ?? Any tips to get through this are helpful. Xoxo
Hi Nicole, I think it's brilliant how the books you read help you. I think it educates and gives you ba better insight into what is happening. I had my first panic attack roughly 25years ago. I can honestly say I did not a a clue what was happening. I didn't know anyone who had ever suffered with let alone talked about panic attacks/ and or depression. So I unwittingly added fear to fear just not really knowing how to cope or deal with it. Trying to run from it, dodge, avoid it (feeling the panic rise up within my body. Now I just let it pass and think "so what! You are absolutely right that it's mind over matter. Its as you said about how we think, and how we deal with things and how that influences our feelings and behavior. I think it's a good thing to learn this especiallyfor you an I as we have both conceded we over-think things. I tend to be and feel positively agnostic about many things. I need evidence to prove this and that. I don't believe everything, I need supporting evidence. Good luck. You have complete control and I'm happy for you. Donna xxx
I’m going to get better! I’m determined and I’m focusing on the small wins and the things I’m blessed with. Spiritually, I need some work so I will also focus on that. I’m being impatient with the meds - I know they take time. Today is only day 4 so I know I’ll get well with time. I have to - I’ve got a lot of life to live! If you know of any good pod casts let me know. I enjoy listening to those while I work out. You’re a true blessing Donna xoxo
