help with anxiety???
Im a 19 year old male.
For the past 2 years i think i have been sufferiing from anxiety, how this came along i don't know.
My symptoms are definately from some form of anxiety but not symptoms of other anxiety suffers stories i have read on the net.
Symptoms.
when in a nervous possition i go bright red, become really hot my heart starts to pound i get shakey my neck becomes really tence then i get a horrible pressure behind my eyes (mainly the right eye) i become really light headed and dizzy and cant concentrate as tho im having a full blow panic attack (at least twice a day)! i get a dry mouth and keep trying to swallow but this makes it worse.
i have bad mood swings heart palpatations im always tired i have an inability to control my emotions
I find my anxiety to be worse when im hungry, after i have eaten and when im tired.
i get these symptoms when im telling a story to someone, being asked a question talking to my girlfriends family! talking to people i don't really no. But the worst is asking for things in a shop its horrible i get all my anxiety symptoms with in seconds at full force.
i am getting seriously depressed now and starting to feel worthless.
One thing ive noticed is my anxiety symptoms are massivley amplified after a night of drinking, the more i drank the night before the worse the anxiety.
ive been on a few types of pills to stop it cipralex and athenolol neither had any effect what so ever.
im starting to feel like just giving up with doctors and pills and just living my life with it, how ever i really dont want it to get worse.
What can i doooo??? please help me and feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks, Paul.

fastasian is right... you wanna eat healthy. Caffeine, sugar, and chocolate are 2 big triggers of anxiety.
dont fuel the fire. Drink water, eat fruits and veggies, and get a source of meat in your daily diet if you can
this will help :)

We're in the same boat. But here are a few things i have been doing & It works for me.
First, i took meds for 2 about 2 weeks and then i started to work-out and do the followings:
Eat multiple times per day but dont eat fast food/cheese
Eat yogurt
Have enough sleep
Drink alot of water (no soda/coffee/alcohol and others....)
When you exercise, it releases a hormone that fights against anxiety.
It will take some time (months) before you can get better though.
