Any advice for constant anxiety?

Question

I have constant anxiety that sticks with me all day. Often (as in many times a day) I get what I would describe as panic attacks. If something goes wrong in my life (something recently happened that really caused a spike in anxiety) I'll dwell on it constantly to the point of ruining my daily life. I think it may be an internal form of OCD. Does anyone else have anything like this? And does anyone know of any medication or home remedies to help?

Answer 1

I used to feel the same way. Please take this into consideration. It worked for me, although I am not you.

I had overwhelming anxiety. It turned out to be my use of Splenda. Yup Splenda. How could something that taste so good, be so bad?



I like to say sucralose, not Splenda, because that is what Splenda is. And it is in a lot of stuff. Sadly, the package doesn't have to say Splenda or diet to have sucralose in it. You have to read labels. So, you might be using it and don't even know it!



Sucralose is poison. It ruined five years of my life. I had a laundry list of medical problems while taking it, including overwhelming anxiety, depression, mood swings, insomnia, gastrointestinal issues and more.

Go ahead, google: anxiety splenda or anxiety sucralose or insomnia splenda or insomnia sucralose



The slogan, "Made from sugar..." is very misleading. Splenda might be made from sugar, but it is far from sugar. The resulting chemical is an organochloride (chlorocarbon). Organochlorides are typically poisons.



carbon monoxide - made from oxygen so its like a breath of fresh air

Step 1: Ensure your emotion is controlled daily. Don't over reacted, stay calm and don't get worry easily

Step 2: Think before your action. Don't repeat her past experience on herself. Remind herself from time to time.

Step 3: Be confident to yourselves. Remember everyone is the winner. "Only One sperms out of millions fertilize an egg"

Step 4: Get a group of close friends to share your experience and get some activities that would occupied your time

Step 5: Increase scope of life. Meaning that she should involve in more social activities like dancing, outing and others.

Step 6: Put a rubberband on the wrist. If there is a negative thought, Tighten the rubber band and release it. Hence the effect of the pain would be able to reduce the possibility of negative thought.

Good Luck.

Hey,

i use to suffer from the exact thing. i still do but not as much as what i use to, What really helped me is seeing a councillor. i know it might sound a bit dodgy but trust me, If it wasn't for the councillor i was seeing, i would still be ruining my days of constantly analyzing on something that happened.

i hope i helped and wish you best of luck =)

Answer 4

I know how you feel. I can get this feeling and it will follow me for the rest of the day. My advice is to accept that the feeling is there. Say: "Oh, the feeling is there. I accept this." (My psychiatrist says that if you focus too much on getting rid of the feeling, it will only increase). Then in a while, when you are doing something else, the feeling might go away. When it does, I find that it is important not to "go back" to the source of the feeling to check if everything is now ok. This is where I see resemblance to OCD -- that I have an urge to "go back" and check if everything is ok even though I know it is. So my advice is: When the feeling comes, relax, accept it, and when it goes away, resist the urge to "go back" to check. Hope this helps. You are not alone.

Get on a pharmaceutical program. Call your doctor, and he can start you on lorazepam.

I would start using about 1 or 2 mg. daily to start, depending on the doctor's advice.

Answer 10

i used to have the same problem when i was studying.

specially at grade 7. i still remember the entire year ( as if it is yesterday), it was the worst year ever.

but believe me you can get rid of it.

anxiety is like a Whirlpool. once you get your self into it, there is no way you are getting out of it. AND YOU NEED HELP.

and that is what i have done.

the problem is that you feel worried and you can even tell why... or you can say what scares you? because there is nothing that is in your mind in the first place.

my advice, don't get the feeling that you are born like that and you will spend the rest of your life on the same pattern.

what you need to do:

1) do some exercises- it do helps ALOT.

2) Stop thinking negatively.

3) if you got worried.DONT PANIC, cool down change the place you are sitting in. and for a while stop thinking of the negative feelings.( in fact it would be better if you stoped thinking at all) just for seconds.

then after some time ask your self about the thing that was making you woried.

you will find nothing

hope that helps.
