Anxiety Self Help

Well I had a rough evening/night yesterday. I went to bed around 5:30 a.m because I couldn't shut my mind off and my heart was pounding so hard that it raised my bp.It wasn't beating fast just hard and it went on from 1:15 a.m until 5:00a.m..Today I am feeling sick to my stomach and I know its from stress.Sometimes I cry for no apparent reason and know that its just the anxiety causing depression. I did find a thrapy center with both phsychiatrists and phsychologists and it is called act. I am gonna give it a try considering the doctor I am seeing now hasn't been much help. Go to youtube and look for the song titled Unwell by Matchbox 20  and listen to it..I am sure some of you have heard it but please listen to it again and focus on the lyrics I think the song describes myself and I am sure it describes some you.

My Comments From: xshadowx May 05 2011, 10:46 pm Anxiety/Stress induced sickness is awful.. I never felt better until i was put on 5MG Of Cipralex.. Its a Anti-Depressant, Anti-Anxiety & Anti-Obessional, all in one pill.. It works great, doesnt make you feel like your taking a pill with horrible sideeffects, and within 2 weeks i was able to leave the house, and not have any anxiety.. You should give it a try, if your willing to try medication, There is great relaxation and deep breathing excersises, and other great natural remedy's that can be found online, I hope you get well soon, and not have to live with the anxiety or stress anymore. Take care, and best wishes ! :) From: keeppushing6179 May 05 2011, 7:38 pm im sorry you felt that way. did you try anything to stop it? i dont know if you are on meds but you should try chamomile teas. I know it doesn't work like people want to but just drinking some hot tea will warm you up and calm me you slightly. Alot of us tend to just fight the anxiety and prolong it instead of accepting it and letting it pass. hope you feel better From: daisy62 May 05 2011, 5:28 pm i understand and feel the same you are not alone. Im sitting here reading your blog my heart is racing so hard i cant catch my breath. Its an every day thing i go through i hate it i hate it i hate it:{ From: wanttoheal May 05 2011, 4:45 pm I'm sorry that you experienced such a rough night. Good for you for looking for another therapist. It is obvious you want to get better and you are taking steps towards that.
