Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another. However, such feelings that linger over time and are very difficult to cope with, and which lack a clear cause, may indicate...
Have a question. It seems like my anxiety is at its worse. Right now I feel unsteady like someone is pulling on me and I am not even moving. I keep seeing stuff out the corner of eye that is not really there like black flashes or something it is really weird. I havent slept in days. I feel like I am falling apart. Please help!!!! Does anyone else feel like this. Im so sick of this shit. I went out today and that is when it started. I went to the mall and couldnt stay long because I felt overwhelmed being in there. I love to shop so that really bothers me.
I am not always sure why I get the crazy thoughts and the feeling of being overwhelmed but I do know now that it can happen at any given time. I also find sometimes medications can help but you should talk to a doctor to see what might be right for you to take. I also try to watch my caffeine intake, excercise more and write my feelings down in a journal. It sometimes helps me to be able to take a bit more control over the anxiety. Hope this helps a bit for ya:)
The way I've been dealing with it (w/o meds) is to just talk to someone...not necessarily about my problem, but about ANYTHING, just to get my mind off the way I feel. When it comes to shopping, I find it easier to bear when I bring someone with me. I'm always more comfortable when I'm not alone.
I am in the same boat with you, symptom for symptom! I made a Dr.'s appt. to talk about the possibility of going on medication for my anxiety, but until then I am going to have to use natural ways of calming my stress. I wish you the best of luck! We'll get through it! :-)
