Gilly 1086 Posted May 18, 2012 Aww I'm sorry you're feeling so bad but I can promise you it can and will get better. That low point is often the first step to starting recovery, we all know exactly how you feel and are here if you want to talk. Firstly have you seen a doctor?

farrah 2 Posted May 23, 2012 Even though you feel hopeless right now, just keep reminding your self that these feelings are only temporary. They may not feel like they are right now, but trust me, it will pass. We can't give a definate time or place, but it will. Just because you feel hopeless right now, it will change. Feelings come and go all the time. Like the song says, Hold on for one more day! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shaun 6 Posted May 23, 2012 It will not magically disappear, you need to take action to overcome your anxiety. I'm not sure what type of anxiety you are suffering from so it's hard to give specific advice. All I can say is that you have the power to reduce your anxiety, you have control over your thoughts. Try methods like deep breathing and positive thinking to reduce the anxiety. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
olley99 1 Posted May 24, 2012 Speak to your doctor right away. Get something to completely relax you and chill you out. Take a walk in the mountain with a family member and talk to them openly about how you are feeling, and try and get some of the emotion out. Sometimes the way we feel has nothing to do with the illness, it's just human stuff. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SarahLizzie 2 Posted May 25, 2012 I am sorry you are having such a rough time right now. Anxiety can be so overwhelming. Have you considered talking to with a doctor about it? They may give you something to help calm the anxiety. What I do when I feel like I am being over come by anxiety is take a hot shower. Ok so really I end up sitting in the shower, allowing hot water to run over me while I a few minutes to cry, or whatever I feel I need to do in order to help feel slightly calmer. Listening to music is also another great way to help calm yourself down. Just sit back and relax for a few, with some music on. For me, it works best when I avoid any type of angry music, or vengeful music. When you anxiety takes hold you, and you feel like it is beginning to suffocate you, sit back, relax, and TRY really hard to think about something positive. If you focus on what is agitating you anxiety, it will get even worse. It will not go away on it's own. You need to work on it, and try to relax, and keep in mind if you efforts do not work, you can always speak with a doctor to see what recommendations he/she can give you.

kingusama92 0 Posted May 26, 2012 Like others have correctly stated, it is important to realize that this is temporary. You may assume this is taking over your life, but you need to have the mindset that this will not. You have to believe you are strong enough to overcome it. Find ways to overcome it by finding what works best for you. Obviously, visit a specialist and have them assess your symptoms and weigh in on the causes for your anxiety.
