Hey there!
I'm 22 years old male and since 5 months i've been suffering from extreme anxiety and it totally ruined my life. I had a perfect life, i'm a producer, musician, composer and orchestrator and i have whatever i want. But with anxiety everything fall apart.
Lemme tell you one thing, this week i've been feelin way better man for the first time in 5 months! I can tell you it will happen to you to you jus have to be patiant and do the right things so it can happen. Lemme tell you what i did.
First thing i did i stop smoking. then i subscribed to a gym and i'm going there every day and it feels great. Did you know your body produces all sort of hormones during and after exercise that is good for you mental and body? Google that up please since i dont wanna spend the night explaining on every hormones. Then what i did is start eating better, like way better! No more sugar, no more fast food, a lot of vegatable and good healthy food. Of course it wont have any effect the first few days but after 1 months i can tell you it's almost a miracle. Then what you might consider to do in last resort is helping yourself with some benzos like bromazepam or ativan. this will calm you down so you can regain a normal life again but don't get addicted!
If you do everything that i sugested you i promise it will help with you self-esteem and anxiety and general health!
Physical activities
Healthy Diet
and most important HAVE SOME FUN!
those are the key to success! i'm feeling way better since i started taking care of myself and this anxiety and lemme tell you i had terrible anxiety and depression ( it started when i heard my mom had a terminal cancer )
You will eventually get your life back i swear! You jus need to work harder!
Best regards,
M4
oops, that should have read "You can't believe what you feel" 4th sentence down - sorry
Because anxiety brings with it weird mind and body sensations, it easy to feel like we are going crazy. I fee ya on this. But I have been dealing with this feeling for 28 years and haven't went crazy yet. My point is with anxiety you can believe what you feel. This will take practice but "Feel but don't belive' is the rule of thumb. This is easier said then done but once you separate the symptons of anxiety from the rule you then this will help. The anxiety feels in all their glory is something actually happening in your body. Itt's an illness and it needs to be treated as such. And as with any illness, you are not yourself when its at its worst. Remember feel but don't believe.
All I can say is Iknow exactly how you feel. I always think I'm going to be hauled off to the looney bin. The one cone comfort I have is that everyday passes and I'm still alive and NOT in the looney bin. It's a struggle, I understand, but know you're not alone. Have faith you will be okay. I KNOW HOW HARD THAT IS... believe me.
From my own experiences and reading about other peoples experiences what your feeling is completely normal. Well normal for a person with anxiety anyway. I used to go everyday thinking I was going to snap and just end up in a mental institute. That feeling will gradually go away, usually replaced by something different but equally crappy. I find for me if I have a major anxiety/panic attack walking outside works. It also helps with thinking you have low sugar or low blood pressure as well. I used to get dizzy just standing up off the couch but if you take a walk at first you'll still be really crappy feeling but ten-fifteen minutes in you'll start to feel better and then by the time you get home you should feel alright. I find the best way to control anxiety is find a safe place for most people its in bed but just go there if your feeling anxious and calm yourself down.
