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...
So I've stated all of this before but it's really bothersome to me. I feel like I'm gonna have to live with this extra anxiety for the rest of my life. I'm more anxious during the day until about early evening. Sometimes I will get it at night but it's in other forms of not concentrating or wanting to sit still. I get bored very easy and can't just sit and watch tv without doing something else. So that was the case today. And I go to lay down in bed for the night and my heart is racing but I think it was from my blood pressure being so high. Which is a problem for awhile now. I am on a stimulant and it is known to increase anxiety and blood pressure. So here's the question... do I wait until my appt at end of June to see my psychiatrist or do I try to get in earlier due to increased anxiety. I feel he wants me on the medicine and it works but it is causing me to be so tense and anxious. Help.
What about going for gentle walks, or aquajogging? Something to use up the adrenaline and cortisol from the anxiety?
I was very anxious for a long while myself and thought I'd never get better. But I do get better, in lumps and bumps, it surprises me and I recognise myself getting better. Give yourself time. :)
Sometimes we may have the idea to see how far we can push our physical and mental condition. But if we are focusing on healing right now, any rectification to the mediciation which aids relief for you is more important than trying to push yourself. Hope this helps. Praying for you. God bless!
