Any anxiety sufferers on here?

Dont worry hunny, gravity will always be there and in space there is no air so you don't actually fall anywhere xx

Sounds like fears you got there. Fears related to air.

I got over my fears of spiders by picking them up now I'm the man if the house catching spiders. My theory is to get over irrational fears, force yourself to do them.

My pms gave my anxiety a helping hand the other day. It was awful. Family visiting too so then I worried more what I'm acting like ANC then got really depressed "nobody likes me I need to move out" kind if feeling. I had a headache from the stress of worrying for a day. feel better now though but now my family will think I'm a right looser!!!! Nobody understands mental health issues until they suffer from one!

I know the space thing is so ridiculous, I can 't even look at pictures of the earth anymore :/ thank you for your reply x

True, nobody 'gets' anything that might be wrong with you unless its visible for example a broken leg, we are having very serious mental health issues in our town and its almost a good thing because people are a lot more aware & look out for each other.

I feel the same. Will be ok for weeks and all of a sudden I will just snap. Two weeks ago I went to work quite weepy and had a tear between clients but I think I was trying to hold it in cus when I finished I burst into tears walking home and couldn't stop crying to the point wher I couldn't catch my breath. The next morning I thought I was ok and all of a sudden I started again. I decided there and then that I would go to the walk in clinic where this lovely doctor saw me and gave me a leaflet to see a counsellor. I'm going on the 25th. I have had a difficult year with family but I was depressed before.

Poor you, famiky worries really do play on your mind 24/7 dont they, as well as money worries. I find that when I cry I feel so awful & everything is terrible but when I have finished it all seems a little better! So its good to have a little cry every now and then x

A tip i was given was to completely tense up your whole body, especially your fists and hold it for a few seconds , and thats your anxiety. Then slowly release everything and think of it as all of your stress & worry leaving your body and you will feel much less tense & calmer

Hope this works for you, it did for me a few times!

Hi babychops, wish I could give you useful advice. I also suffer from anxiety and it can creep up on you from no where. Have you been under a lot if stress is there a lot going on in your life that could be affecting you? If I'm having a bad anxiety attack I always find it helps to tell someone what I'm experiencing. Once I've acknowledged my nausea and other symptoms are from the anxiety, that together with a bit of deep breathing and distracting myself with some tv (or salon geek or candy crush!) will often help it subside a little.

Thanks for everyone's advice, I'm sat in tears atm so maybe that will make me feel better lol x

Can you get total silence? I think time each day with total silence maybe a window open and listen to distant noises. Breathing in fresh air too. I used to drive down to the seaside and sit there with my window open and listen too the sea. Even the noise if the birds. It reminds you of all the other things going on in the world other than "silly overpowering thoughts" x try it if u can xx

There are lots of things you can do, please don't think you have to suffer this. As a recently qualified cognitive hypnotherapist, would definitely recommend it - it incorporates NLP and CBT.

Would also recommend 7 11 breathing - google will give you plenty of links.

Wow , I think it's amazing how everybody supports each other on here.. Its quite overwhelming actually! I've suffered depression 10 years, and still don't seem to have any useful advice Massive hugs going to anyone suffering w anything at all, you can feel very isolated sometimes when u feel no one seems to understand xx lovely to see so many caring people on here xxx

I suffer from anxiety and panic attacks, was diagnosed early on this year. Currently on medication and had CBT sessions which helped. It's been particularly bad recently because I had a bad cold last month and since then my anxiety has skyrocketed. Not sure why but I've noticed since the weather has turned colder I feel much worse :sad:

 

[sarah1992]

Uh oh, my anxiety is in overdrive tonight, rescue remedy wont fox this!

At the dentist earlier & found out all 4 of my wisdom teeth are coming through, one completely horizontal & need 3 more fillings aswell as one I got today

Beyond terrified cant stop thinking what if I have to get them removed cant stop thinking of it I feel sick!

 

[babychops]

My shaking has come back today! So annoying! :-( x

 

[babychops]

Does anyone know anything a bit stronger than the rescue remedy? Sometimes with new clients I get a little nervous and my hands shake. I use the rescue remedy spray but wondering if there's anything else out there? X

Hi everyone,
Just found this thread and glad I did!! I'm a 7 year sufferer of anxiety and depression. It has caused me to lose jobs previous to becoming a nail tech. Was signed off by my gp for a year in which I was unemployed and ended up having to changed the tablets which I felt helped(after trying several different types) because they caused severe liver problems after having my gallbladder removed. Have seen a therapist which helped while I was going but after it was no use. Tried CBT but I find it hard to socialise with people my age and the therapist was someone younger than me so I just didn't get on with it cause I felt like she was judging me a lot.
I have found out while suffering that you well and truly find out who's really there for you when things get tough!
I've been told the usual things of "grow up", "get over it" and "there's people worse off".
My main trigger is social situations, new people and always crowds (I'm great to take Christmas shopping!)
Had a really rubbish week this week because I've been ill and tablets for chest infection seem to make me feel worse(weird), best friends has turned on me because she's happy with life and I'm not so obviously I'm bringing her down so despite helping her through death in family and problems with her partner I'm not worth the help and also my nan is going in for an op on the 20th and I'm really really close with my nan and I think of anything happened it would tip me cause the whole depression part started when my granddad died.
Sorry to babble on! It's nice to vent to someone else other than my boyfriend and my mum!

NOT!!! to find out my chrons has spread further and i now have ulcers in my intestine as i can throw up so easily now, so now have put me on azathrioprine which basically kills my immune system so cannot go near anyone with cold,flu,chicken pox shingles, cannot go in sun unless wearing suncream as this drug makes you more at risk at skin cancer an bowel cancer great!!! and when they put me on it i had to have weekly blood test to check to make sure it didnt enlarge my kidneys now checks r 1 every 3 months. found myself tired alot which i already had due to chrons anyway cant socialise {altho no friends to socialise with!!} incase i panic of getting ill from something as now no immune system see i sound so negative but cant gloss over my problems an be happy an yeat had cgt didnt work for me been on inclusion matters wait list for councilling but been waiting since june 2013 its now jan 2014 i suffer with insommia too find it terribley hard to switch off and sleep an concentration well think you can gather that from this i'm writing. glad to see some people are improving
