Hey everyone man this anxiety stuff is horrible

Im always freaking out about normal every day things like BLINKING OR BREATHEING OR JUST NORMAL STUFF. And every time one anxiety symptom go's away here comes another worse and scarier one.im not on any meds at the moment and i see my psychiatrist next month for the very first time so hopefully he can give me a therapist because i want to try natural remedies first before i try those anti-depression are anti-Anxiety pills.. appreciate yall listing thanks.

    I know the feeling. Anything that feels weird, makes you think something major is going on....

      It's the worst. For a few hours now, I have had a pulsing pain in my forehead, and I don't know why..

      I hate how we anxiety sufferers find one thing that feels abnormal and automatically assume the worst. I'm obsessing over several physical symptoms right now and it gives me the scariest impending doom feeling.

      A misfire and imbalance in our brains. It's very scary and very stressful. I wake up feeling nervous immediately. It's horrible. I can't even just enjoy my day because I spend every minute monitoring how I'm feeling. It sucks.

      It really is. This huge wave of anxiety comes over me the second my eyes open from sleeping. It's so discouraging!

      I know. It's gotten worse....the anxiety and over thinking has become so powerful no matter how much I try to tell myself it's all in my head...

      What are ur triggers? Fears?

      I've been on meds and had been doing wonderful until a few days ago. I was driving my daughter to school and started to feel really strange and I started freaking out about how I was feeling...I thought I was dying right then and there. I am now googling all my symptoms because I'm scared I had a TIA stroke or something serious and I'm obsessing over it and I've made it so much worse googling all my symptoms or googling TIA strokes because of course I've read nothing but scary stories. So, my triggers are having physical symptoms that cause me to think I've got something serious. My fears are dying, being alone too long with my thoughts, something happening to me and my 15yo daughter not having me.

      😔 I get it. I wish I could help you as many others but I can't even help myself. There has to be a cure for obsessive fears...it's so difficult to live in a body we feel we have no control over. Life is hard as it is....and this makes it sooo much more difficult....its very been off work for 3 months bc of it

      It's paralyzing. I spend all my time trying to see if I can feel anything abnormal and then I start to freak out and then I start googling. All day I have that uneasy sick feeling. I hate it

      Wow, you have been dealing with a lot. I just read your post. I think cbt is what you need too. I take meds, but I want to learn to control my thoughts too. They are extremely debilitating.

      I know....😔....and it's frustrating bc anxiety triggers nausea and gastrointestinal issues which makes it worse for me. It's a vicious cycle. I was in meds but now just take clonazepam as I don't think antidepressants are very good

      You're definitely not alone. It's really a relief when you find other people that can relate to you.

      I'm not on them anymore as I feel that antidepressants are bad. They masked the issues and they mess with ur brain. My doc wants me back on them but I don't want to

      I can't explain how they make u feel. It's hard to explain....foggy like in the beginning... could cause upset stomach... dizziness....it's different for everyone right. All I know is that it's done more damage than good. But my condition is significantly worse and idk what to do

      Let me know what u find or try. I'm not seeing my psychiatrist anymore as he keeps referring to the prescription pad. But I do want to see a psychotherapist for cbt (cognitive behavior therapy) but a long wait list for the few that are covered under Ohip. Most aren't covered unfortunately
