Need some help please, anxiety coming back

Question

i have generalized anxiey disorder and have been on medicine for it and taking xanax but was able to control it and got off meds for a while, about 5/6 months? its coming back now, not to the point where i get panic attacks (not yet) but i can definately feel them coming on and it feels like i have trouble breathing and my anxiety lasts longer now and its harder to control. i dont have anything super stressful going on so i dont know why this is just randomly coming back. i dont want to not be able to control it again. help please =/

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

Answer 2

Answer 3

Hey mate so maybe having anxiety is your normal it is not an illness so just learn to live with it.  I find most of the chemicals given me by medicos very taxing in that they slow me down so I have come to look at them in mush the same way aI look at crutches , you see I ride motorcycles and each time I fall off it seems to be about six weeks before I can put the crutches in the closet again but I do and ride around till the next crash when out they come again, so you havent had anxiety for six monthws thats good so now take some pills and when it calms down wean off again just like the crutches and remember you are young there are really potent chemicals running through your system now and they are natural they will settle down after a while but that is something to look foward to for now use the crutch.

Answer 4

Well, just because you have it under control does not mean it has gone away.  I think you should get someone to take you to the doctors (Panic attacks behind the wheel = bad)  And talk to him about what you should do.  I would not self medicate, just get to the doctor as soon as possible.  In the meantime, try drinking herbal teas, and meditating, or doing yoga.  It always helps clear the mind.

EDIT: Driving is a physically taxing thing, as it is mental.  If you can't drink caffeine, I suggest warm milk, and get some scented body oils.  Anything physical is mental before so, so having a Panic Attack starts in you mind.  If your mind is more calm, you may be able to deal with it better.

Answer 5

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.
