Does anyone else have physical anxiety symptoms 24/7

Yes!!! Me me. I never feel happy I either feel numb or eh. I jsut want to be normal again. I go into panic mode easily. I haven't slept in days because my heartbeat is too strong and my anxiety thoughts are very strong I can easily think myself into an anxiety attack.

Hey,

I'm currently suffering with breathlessness that comes and goes and lasts for hours or even days. A tight and dry throat and more, sometimes, my arms feel weak. I'm terrified about heart failure or other conditions. So, you are most certainly not alone. 

Though it's always worth getting your symptoms checked out by a doctor. 

I can tell you a few things that help me.  I still get anxiety but 

?Turn off electonics before bed and read a hopeful story or listen to a relaxing meditation.  Those help me relax.  Do mindful walking, observing and being thankful for everything you see.

Join a support group to talk about feelings and fears and then let the fears and feeling go

Know that you are loved and show someone else they are loved, even if they don't deserve it

?Eat your protien, even a filling smoothie

I deal with anxiety every freaking day also, I wish I could rid of my anxiety I wish I can go back to my old self when I didn't know what anxiety was! I get the chest tightness everyday, when ur feeling that, breath arms over your head it helps loosen the chest gives you airway and a more comfortable chest! I hope your symptoms suppress to where they go away

I know this thread is old. But i saw some recent comments, and i figured I would put in my 2 cents.

I'm almost 30, I've had anxeity on and off my whole life. It's weird how it comes and goes. I can go years with no panic attacks, but they can come out of the blue. Usually though, when I'm in very stressful situations. Like currently, I'm getting ready to move to Florida with my family from Tennessee. In the beginning I was super excited and couldn't wait, but as timed passed on stressed took the place of my excitement. Now here I am, battling constant anxiety. Mine can get pretty intense too, it can be all day. Tight chest, locked jaw feeling, the feeling of freaking out, hot flashes etc.

Its very frustrating to say the least. However, I'll be honest with you. There is hope!

Even though I am in the situation I am in with my panic Attacks, I know these feelings are not forever. I know I will soon resort back to myself. It may take months etc. But honestly it depends on you.

Right now, you're letting your anxeity control you. Once you learn to control it, you'll be golden.

It always takes me a bit , (sometimes) to figure out how to control it, but the key is, staying positive about the fact that you'll eventually get it under control.

If you think about it, we are causing the anxeity to spread and grow. We are allowing it to control it

Because we give into it. Once your fear to flight instinct kicks in, and your anxeity starts doing it's thing, you react by trying fight it off.

But, I promise you the more you just relax take a deep breath and just let it do it's thing, your body starts to realize it's actually something not to be fearful of, and as they start to come back your brain will eventually be able to tell it's actually nothing and the feeling will go away, and they'll soon be non existent.

Trying to fight panic away, increases it.

You aren't dying, you aren't having a heart attack, you aremy having a nervous breakdown, you aren't doing anything your mind/body thinks it's doing. Just take take a deep breath and accept the feelings and soon, you'll be golden.

You are stronger than your anxiety.

You're a very brave person (we all are) to live our lives with this illness.

It takes courage to have to live this way.

Anxiety is making nothing into something for no reason.

Do me a favor, tell your mind/brain/ body to have an anxiety attack.

Did it do it? I highly doubt it

Because you actually do have control. If you body knows not to have them on command, then you can easily teach it to not have them without command.

Push yourself to do things, that anxiety keeps you from doing, by doing that it teaches your brain that this isn't something to be fearful of. Even if you have to take babysteps. If you feel your anxeity is stress related, research some stress managements strategies.

Just know you aren't alone, and you have a voice, you also have the power to help a fellow anxiety goer.

I refuse to take medication, because I dont believe in taking something my brain can actually control. Don't lose hope. If you feel medication is a good option for you at this time, then do it..

Just take each day one step at a time.

But push yourself alittle every day. You're a victim to a sickness, but a very curable sickness.

I hope you soon find peace and comfort.

Do you take any medicaments? I sometimes take diazepam 2 mg, and i feel ok, even though my mom is very against me taking pills because she says they are addictive, but it helps me, i feel much better when i take them, i can function, i can go out, do shopping, go for a coffee with friends, i take also fluoxetine (antidepressant), but very rarely one per week, cause i showed improvements according to my psychiatrist and he reduced my pills. When i take anti anxiety (diazepam) i feel the old me as I used to be before depression and anxiety, full of confidence, happy, calm, and in one word "normal". I just need to ask if someone is taking diazepam 2 mg also, and what do they think about it? do you take them everyday? how often? my psychiatrist said that i can take them "as needed".

I understand that psychotherapy helps, did anyone tried psychotherapy for anxiety?

Hi,I'm suffering from anxiety on a daily basis and I can get panic attacks without warning, I wake up with an apprehensive feeling every morning, Im taking Effexor 150 plus Mirtazapine but I feel as if they have timed themselves out, is this possible? Im having a miserable time at the moment.

I always feel like my hearts going to stop all day every day I’m so scared 😟 I have 4 kids I carnt do anything I feel like my life’s over
