[QUOTE]Originally posted by Beasty5.0: [QB] Too begin with, as you can see you're not alone. Many people have anxiety, so don't think there is something wrong with you, life can be overwhelming at times with work and family. I have been dealing with anxiety issues since last Dec. I have never had issues like this until now, I'm 30. However, I have been reading many books regarding anixety and I have come to realize that my type of personality and the way I think about things fit many of the charactertics that people with anxiety have. As mention above, you should really sit back and look at your life to see what things are causing you stress. It may be work, family, a relationship, a recent family death, etc. Being able to identify what is causing you this anxiety will be extremely helpful to addressing your anxiety issues and utlimately to your recovery. Personally, I have not gone to a Dr. because I was able to determine what was causing my anxiety and started to address it. As suggested above, taking pills to handle anxiety is only a bandaid, there are many tools, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, available to help with anxiety. If you don't know these tools, then you can't really help yourself. However, if the anxiety is getting in the way of functioning in your life, than you might need medication while you learn the tools you need in order to overcome your anxiety. If you need medication, I have read that anti-depressants are better to take because they are not addicitive as other medications, benzodiazepines, that Dr's like to prescribe. Positive thinking will greatly help with your anixety. For me that has helped alot because my when I was having anxiety epsiodes, negative reccurring thoughts were really driving me nuts because I could not stop thinking that there was something wrong with my brain or that I was going to die of a heart attack because I was overweight, which I utlimatley came to realize that my health concerns were causing me anxiety, so i started working out more, cutting junk food, no more soda, etc. The more positive reinforcement you make toward addressing your anxiety, the more you will see your anxiety subside. Also, don't fight the anixety sometimes it will make it worst. Just tell yourself that it's your bodies reaction to your anxiety and that all the sensations you're feeling are as a result of adrenaline being released into your blood stream. But don't worry just as your body released it, it will also get rid of it in manner of minutes. Finally, I have read that sometimes anxiety is a result of vitamin decificency in vitamin B & also in magnesium. I started taking vitamin B- Complex pills and also calicum & magnesium. I must admit that I have been able to sleep alot better now than I did before my anxiety epsiodes, which actually started to make sense to me because I use to suffer from insomnia prior to the anxiety, which turns out can be caused by a magnesium deficiency. If you have any questions, feel free to PM. Believe me, you can make it through this. :patriot: [/QB][/QUOTE]
