Feeling super weird. I hate anxiety.

Posted , 5 users are following.

I'm so exhausted, but every time I close my eyes it's like my anxiety kicks in full blast. My heart feels like it's skipping beats, I feel like I can't breathe, I feel rather weak and dizzy. I always do this to myself. I hate it. rolleyes 

It also sucks because I have such a negative, worried mind. I know that doesn't help. I worry about insignificant things and I make them into huge problems. rolleyes I just want to be happy and normal again. It's taking so long.

    It takes a long long time indeed, whatever treatment you are on can help you progress. Therapy at least can give you reasons to keep fighting, as things resolve you do get little mini breaks from it

      You're really right. I keep saying I need therapy, and yet I haven't done it. I know it will really help me and give me a break from all this. Just need to get my butt on it!

      The sooner the better,  trying to help yourself alone is fine, but it can't take the place of therapy . Cbt is offered first on nhs,  but it's not the only therapy available so push for an assessment first to see which type will suit you best. Too much time can be wasted with cbt when a different therapy would be better

    You have to take control of your mind, this is what I have learned over the years. As soon as a worried thought enters your mind acknowledge it and let it go. This takes discipline but gets easier with practice. Over thinking and analysing does not help. Acknowledge that you have had a thought( that does not make it true) then stop thinking about the thought and replace it with a happy thought or neutral one. Keep busy do some physical activity like walking and confide in someone you trust. Good luck.

      Thank you, that is true. I do try it and it indeed takes a lot of time to master.

    You're not alone at all in this, I too suffer with anxiety and am terrible with trying to help myself. Therapy may indeed help you. I find things like these forums a massive help getting all my feelings out of my head and hearing responses to know I am not on my own and feel reassured. Also going for a small walk each day or focusing on doing something takes your mind off the negative thoughts and feelings, I hope feel better soon smile

      Thanks, Kerrysmile this forum really does help me feel like everything I go through is not something that is wrong with me, that people are going through if with me too. Makes me feel better.

    Most of what we are anxious about doesn't really matter in the scope of things. Try not to worry about things before they happened unless you can do something about it.  When you lie down, take deep breaths and listen to something positive on the radio or internet. Blesssings by Laura Story has helped me. You can find it on You Tube.  I am anxious but am dealing with it by not focussing my thoughts away from my anxious ones. Feeling weird? I am determine with the help of a close friend and God not to let my weird feelings impair my judgement of reality.  Also, talk to your primary doctor; see a therapist. You are not alone.
