Dibilating anxiety for a year now.. any success stories i need hope

Try to be around people as much as you can. I have anxiety bad,and its worse when im alone. Also tell people what you are going through,it should help,and is nothing to be ashamed about.

Renee, been there done that. I had anxiety my entire life, even as a little girl. I didn't realize that's what it was though until I got older. I had, ad mini panic attacks as a kid, and as a young teenager, but never to the point like when I turned 19. Let me tell you. It was awful. I woke up EVERY day already in a panic. I threw up every morning, I couldn't eat. MY hands were tingly all day. I felt exhausted all day. I was so hypervigilant that I would jump at my own shadow or reflection. I did not want to leave my house. My mom forced me to go to work, so I wouldn't lose my good job. I lost WAY to muchc weight all in one short month. I was at the doctors every week. I did ot know what was going on. I realized that I had bad anxiety. I opted to pay (a lot) to see a rea psychiatrist. He diagnosed me with Generalized anxiety, Health anxiety, panic disorder, slight, slight depression and OCD. He explained all of those tend to go hand in hand. You rarely meet one person who has one of those without the company of the other. For example, Anxiety & OCD are always together. I got on medication that helped me. For years. I went through some things a ffew years later that set me back, little by little and before I knew it, I was back at the doctor. They changed my dosage and it helped and then about a year or two later, back again because it came back fullfledged. Back to the doctors again. It disrupts my life. But today, I am in a good spot. I took up new hobbies, things to constantly distract me. I started forcing myself to be more positive, to counter attack all my negative thoughts with good, positive, happy ones, which can be hard when you feel like total crappppppp. It is all in the mental though. We all have the power to help ourselves. Use the times that you are feeling "okay" or "better" to work on learing. Learn all you can about anxiety, depression etc. Learn , read, research, watch videos. There are millions and millions of self hep books and millions of self-help videos, even a lot that are free o Youtube. I took up meditation and yoga. When the anxiety got bad again, I did meditation and yoga. Look up mantras. Makeup up your own positive mantra to help you when times get hard. Breath. Breathing will stop the symptoms of a panic attack. Panic attacks happen when there is not eough oxygen getting through to you. So take a deep breath in for 4 seconds, hold it for 4 seconds, release it for 4 seconds. Do this a few times. You will notice an intense difference from what your last panc attack felt like compared to when you breath. If you start breathing right before an attack kicks in, you can actually stop it right i its tracks before it begins. Good luck. Please PM me if you need to chat further! <3
