Anxiety

👍🏻

on 35mg venaflex(?) same as effexor wit 3 yrs ,i find it a help but the main thing was getting to the bones of my issues

👍🏻

how do you mean? the attacks were pretty severe anyway cud hardly sleep or eat for a couple of months dropped nearly 3 stone....heart palpitations, racing thoughts,insomia, loss of appetite when d attacks were at der worst...

Well a lot of people have health anxiety for example. My anxiety is mostly for losing control of my mind.

yeah probably something similar with me when i had to get to the root of my issues i found dat i that it all stemmed from a very bad personal view of myself, i always thought people viewed me as being a bit a bit of an idiot r not the smartest which reinforced my own negative self image....i had spent most of my life running from people, conversations and settings where i felt uncomfortable which in turn lead to paranoia and slight o.c.d.(could only ever see one way of doing something), alienating my self from people because of my own low self esteem and view of myself if dat makes any sense...

Yeah man. I can find myself in that situation too. I always was a very insecure person because of a very difficult youth where I couldnt develop myself. I still am insecure, but its getting better! I always thought a million times before I said something, but now I just think screw it.. go for it. Still in some situation i still have this problems. I have my comfort zone and its hard to let somebody get in it. Thats why I prob never had a girlfriend. But besides the insecurity my main issue now is that I just dont feel comfortable in my own skin. I just feel anxious in busy situations where I could lose control of myself and cant get out, like bus, train, classroom, parties etc. you get the point. Also everything that does something to my brain like alcohol, caffeine, drugs etc. makes me very anxious. Not that I miss doing drugs or drinking caffeine, but sometimes alcohol can be a nice thing, but sadly not for me now.

Well can you find yourself in this things too?

i definitely wud b staying away from d whole drugs thing anyway but dats just my own opinion , dat stuff will really screw wit ur head.....look maybe drink is just as bad but dats d only 1 i hav had experience wit....definitely when i was younger up until i got very sick wit des anxiety attacks i wud hav used drink to get out if myself and b like every1 else but d problem was wit dis loss of inhibition i wud say and do stuff dat d following morning r days after wud really b bugging me, like did i insult some1 ,did i make a fool out of myself in front of some1, does such a person think im a f**king tool, all i can say was from my own experience when i was very sick wit d whole anxiety attacks ting i didnt drink for nearly 8 months coz however bad i was feeling it made me twenty times worse,alcohol is a depressant which i never knew until my conseullar told me, if anything now im prob drinking 2 much but d difference is now when i go out 4 a few pints now i can actually enjoy dem and enjoy other people's company which i can safely say i was never able to do in the previous 20 yrs i had been drinking
