Having a bad time this last couple weeks,
Posted , 6 users are following.
Seem to have anxiety symptoms on and off all day at the moment
Cant seem to break the cycle.
Fast heart beat, trembly inside, legs twitching, etc, comes and goes all day long.
Not sleeping well either which doesnt help.
Am trying mediration and hypnotherapy cds, but cant switch brain off long enough to benefit from them.
Cant seem to find a way to calm down, its the heart raising that is worse.
Any ideas how to break the cycle, I can deal with anxiety attacks now and again, but this is ridiculus, on and off every day now.

Hi
I've suffered with health anxiety for almost a year now, body scanning constantly always thinking the worst then having massive panic attacks. The best thing I find is deep breathing or breath into a paper bag. Try to keep your mind active by colouring or maybe a jigsaw something that isn't stressful. I'm currently taking antidepressants and under going cognitive behavioural therapy at the moment . I'm now three weeks in and feel a totally different person. I still body scan and freak out but it's not everyday. Hope this helps. Xx

If you have tapes it may be a good idea to have words with your GP and He can get you some CBT and the CPN will explain how to calm your anxiety down. Sometimes one system may not work so you will need to try a different program.
I do a cross between the Alexander and Maxwell Techniques and I am able to contro breathing and heartbeat, for me it really works. Sometimes before bed a glass of warm milk and sugar can help you relax. Tea and coffee are real no nos.
What time do you go to bed, sometimes if you are not following a proven pathwaysome people have problems either not sleeping or waking up to soon
What medications are you on, if you are on ADs take them before bed they will help you to sleep and stay awake in the morning

Wendy, I'm right there with you. I can't seem to break the cycle and meditation is a hit and miss with me sometimes. You are not alone.
?I agree with everyone who has responded to you. Especially seeing a doctor and getting yourself diagnosed.
?Yes, the heart racing is the worst. Like I've just ran 5 miles. Breaking the can be done with medication, relaxation techniques and both. I do both.
?Not sleeping can make your anxiety worse, it has for me. Talk to your doctor. Take some time to heal yourself by gettin ghelp.
?We all on this forum are suffering along with you. You are definitely not alone.
?Keep use posted. Sending you positive vibes.
