I looked up Anxiety on a psychology website and it gave symptoms and I have all of them: Muscle tension, Physical weakness, Poor memory, Sweaty hands, Fear or confusion, Inability to relax, Constant worry, Shortness of breath, Palpitations, Upset stomach, Poor concentration. It’s pretty much affecting my day to day life. I get panic attacks every now and then and I feel anxious all the time. I don’t know if I have anxiety but Im sick of feeling this way. Im short of breath and my heart beats so fast all the time. I always feel a clenching in my chest. Public wise I have certain things that I have to do in order to feel “safe”. I like to get to school early so I can sit in front of my class so no one will see me, I have a paranoia that people are always judging me and watching I cant sleep at night coz Im always worrying and theres so much more (but no space to type) Im just tired of living my life in constant fear and worry and feeling sick about it all the time. I dont know what to do

When I was 13 or 14 I developed a horrible anxiety disorder. I couldn’t sleep at night, I’d wake up anxious, I’d have crippling attacks at school where my heart would race and pound out of control and I would feel like I wasn’t getting enough air.. It got so bad that I was afraid to leave the house, go out with my friends, even drive. I would have panic attacks at work, it was horrible. And 90% of the time they came on for no reason out of the blue. I tried several different treatments and nothing seemed to work but as I got older I seemed to grow out of it, and went quite a long time panic free.

Now I’m 21 and my panic disorder has come roaring back. I woke up last week with my heart racing faster than it ever had in my life- and since then I have been so afraid of it happening again I’m right back where I started. I have had over 5 panic attacks today, I’m having one right now just thinking about it!!

I guess I’m just looking for a little reassurance. Any comments are welcome. Thank you.

I am 36 years old and have suffered with anxiety attacks for the last 15 years. I have been on numerous anti-anxiety drugs and have had several therapists to help me with this. Currently I am off all the meds. except for Xanax which I only take when needed. It seems like I have most of my attacks at night when I am trying to sleep. During the day when I feel an attack coming on I can usually get my mind off of it because I am busy at work or doing other things. But, at night is when the attacks are uncontrollable. They wake me up out of a sound sleep. My heart is racing , I have trouble swallowing and the heaviness and pressure in my chest is just awful. As of now, I am up due to another attack and have to get up in less than 5 hrs. to go to work. I have tried special breathing exercises to control this (which is what all the therapists tried teaching me) they don’t work at all. I have read self help books but nothing, absolutely nothing helps. The chest discomfort and trouble swalling is the most uncomfortable symptoms out of all the other anxiety attack symptoms I have to deal with. Does anyone have this same problem and how do you deal with it? I will not go back on any of the drugs. The Xanax does cause some relief but, I don’t like to take it. My mind just races with all of these "silly" worries and concerns that I don’t have any control over. I just don’t understand why it wakes me up out of a sound sleep at night. Any advice from anyone would be greatly appreciated!

Well I just wanted to let you know things that I’ve been observing and doing for the past year that has helped me so much with bipolar, depression, anxiety. Seriously, I can’t even sleep for days without my heavy loads of medication, but these ways of doing things really helps with all of this. At first I thought it wouldn’t help then, I just tried and found it really helped. Here are some things that naturally helps that you can do on your own.

First of all never call your self sick or label yourself. You must accept yourself also. Just treat yourself for your symptoms, like a cold in a way. Notice your symptoms, like when you notice a cough, treat it, but don’t obsess over it, and you’ll notice improvement the best. Remember things can always be worse so make the most of what you can as you try to improve your situation.

To feel better you have to want it and believe you’ll be okay, and once you believe it and want it, you’ll start asking people questions and be interested on your own on how to be stable. You’ll also feel a relief that you will find help soon enough. All the help you need is within yourself and other places out there.

The body works by chemical reactions and foods are chemicals consumed to help the body carry on things that the body needs to do. So it’s important to get all nutrients needed. Take half a multi-vitamin a day, try taking vitamin b-stress complex daily, and take omega 3-6-9 supplements which is proven to help with nourishing the brain.Take it for a few weeks and you’ll notice the difference.

Also, mood problems can occur from hormonal imbalances, like low thyroid levels.
It is also very important to get sunlight daily which helps boost the mood. Exercise helps boost the mood and and take care of excess energy. It helps with better sleep at night.

Make sure you sleep and wake up at a regular schedule. Sleep is very important to help the mind heal and to be in a good mood. Get 8hrs of sleep each night. No more than ten because too much sleep can make you feel groggy.

Another thing is try to change any negative or stressful thought you have to an optimistic one. Even if it doesn’t feel like you believe it, tell yourself you believe it. I once was told everything is love, atleast some sort of love, and everything else is your own perception. Jealousy, hate anger, resentment takes away calmness from people, and a sense of peace in ones’ mind is important. it’s also important to have a general love for humanity.

Also stay away from stimulating things, no hair spray, markers, chocolate, tea, coffee, horror flicks. Anything that causes that high or rushed feeling causes stress on the body.

Here are some great websites for anxiety and bipolar:
