    Ah yes 

    Depending on how severe your anxiety is 

    A lot of the time you wake up feeling good but your question your good feeling turning your mind to start thinking negative which brings on the anxiety negative thinking and before you know it from feeling Good you now feel anxious and stressed 

    The key is to this is working on the triggers and training your mind to be more positive naturally and do things that increase your serotonin levels by running doing things you enjoy on a regular basis swimming running meeting friends  

    Keeping anxiety at bay is a long term commitment and lifestyle and understanding as much as possible about anxiety reading books on it helps because it helps you make sence of it and backs up the fact you are not going crazy or loosing your mind 

    Question ? What is your feelings when you don’t feel good what do you do and what is your mind set what are you thinking how do you feel etc 

    Chris 

    Would love to try and help you through this

      Thank you  Chris, today I started a journal, writing everything I feel positive and negative thoughts,  also everything I'm greatful for. Praying by writing down my feelings will alleviate my anxiety.  I also read a lot about it. Some days I can cope and others I can not! It's so very stressful.  I jus wanna be normal again😢 but I'm determined 🙏🙏

    Hi Chandra 

    How long have you. EDEN feeling this way 

    Yes writing things down can help for sure 

    My advise would be get to the source it could be something very simple that a therapist could help you with 

    So many people paint over the cracks trying to work out how to cope but this is never ending its like painting over humidity on a wall it’s trying to hide the problem

    Imagine you fixed the humidity problem et voilà no more painting smile

    It’s inportant because trying all these techniques to help can be very tiring and not actually fixing the source 

    Have you tried Therapy ??

      I went to therapy several years ago, was given zoloft which didn't agree with me at all, so I took myself off and coped on my own . Went to  Dr had ekg done everything was normal, blood work showed low iron,gave me iron supplements also thyroid seemed overactive did thyroid scan found benign nodule, rechecked thyroid they say it's fine. But still I'm feeling anxious!  Could they possibly have overlooked something?  I jus want the old me back🙏🙏

      Honestly 

      I don’t agree with meds anyway for anxiety it’s to easy for Doctors and each person chemical balance is different what may work for one may be useless for another 

      And Meds don’t make you feel positive because you drugged and it’s nit the real you anyway 

      This is only my opinion 

      I saw a therapist but it was all one to one discussions understanding my life style my pressures triggers etc and worked through it this way 

      But never prescribed meds 

      I think you are now in the anxiety circle 

      Where you are constantly questioning your state of mind which keeps you in the bubble of anxiety 

      You need to break the circle 

      Complete lifestyle change something positive to focus on that can change your mind set 

      1. Exercise

      2. diet

      3. New project you would like to do that will inspire you

      Training your mind to think positive and not the anxiety circle you are currently in 

      Hard I know but it works 

      It’s like mind training showing your mind more positives and not as many negatives

      Chandra, Chris laid it out nicely here. I think this is a great way forward. I’m enduring a technique that a lot of people think will work. This is to let the anxiety happen. Feel it, feel it deep, feel horrible, feel desperate. Feel all these things but don’t avoid. Apparently then in time your mind adjusts to feeling s**t all the time and the next trauma isn’t so bad. It’s a bit like the saying “if it doesn’t kill me it will make you stronger”.

      I “think” I’m trying this myself at the moment but yeah I’m struggling.

      Chris, I agree re meds for anxiety sort from maybe social anxiety where they can help you to just appear normal and function. If it’s meds v staying at home in a dark room. I’d choose the former would you not ?

      Yeah maybe 

      I just think meds are not the long term solution and can paint over the cracks 

      But this is only my opinion I am not a medical expert 

      Think meds can help but can do longer damage to real recovery and life of peace 

      As I said only my opinion smile

    Yes, this happens to me too. According to me, this all happening because of stress and not taking proper rest or you are not eating healthy diet properly.

      When you suffer from anxiety your body is full of Adrenalin this has a huge effect in your matabalism 

      So you can burn off fat/calories 

      But eating healthy should be a priority to your lifestyle and phystical and mental health 

      It’s so true healthy body health mind 

      One way to help you eat better 

      Is plan your menu for the week write it out put it somewhere 

      Cook together as a family choose the weekly menu as a family and sit together and est as a family no tv no phones 

      It’s amazing the results this has in so many areas that make you feel better 

      Try it for 1 week

      If you will not eat healthy food, then it is obvious that you will lose weight. So, eat a healthy diet and take care of yourself. Take proper sleep and go for a walk every day. This will make your mind fresh and keep you calm.

      That statement makes no sense whatsoever. If you eat unhealthy food you will put on weight ????

      Hi 

      I think Darren is referring to the comment if you do not eat healthy it’s obvious you will loses weight 

      This makes no sence you have to eat healthy to loose weight 

      Of course we are here to support each other and give good advise but let’s try to make facts correct 

      Healthy diet is key to healthy body and it’s true healthy body helps for a healthy mind 

      Good diet and exercise is key 

      A good way to implement this is a menu designed for the week so you can follow 

      Along with 3/4 sessions of 45/60 minutes 

      Drink 3 litres of water per day 

      But the most important is to work with a therapist on finding the source of your anxiety and mental negativity 

      Your mind can be retrained to think differently but you need a professional 

      Therapist 

      If your leg was broken you would go and get it fixed same your mind is broken but can be fixed with the right work
