Anxiety Support Group
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...
I wake up in the morning. As soon as I am awake I start getting shocks of anxiety that seem to occur for no reason (possibly related to thinking?). By the time I get out of bed I am in a very nervous state. I go to work and try to behave in a "normal" manner but inside the nerves continue - my skin feels like it is burning and the flesh on my back crawls. When someone asks me a question I go to peaces in side but strive to maintain the outwardly calm personna and try to think to answer the question. This goes on all day. I have a few good friends that I can talk to about this and although the support helps the symptoms soon re-appear. I am trying:- psychotherapy, NLP, exercise, medication, refusing to curl up and not give in. I have tried hypnosis, acupuncture, homeopathy, karate (!), religion, Lynden method. I am just about at my wits end - has anyone experienced anything like this and if so have they managed to find a way out? Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

Has anyone tried these supplements? Do they give MGers more quality of life by improving memory and overall well being?Thanks!Barbel
been through it all
im on anti depressants, which imnow trying to reduce and come off ,been having counselling since march, and as flung just said, just keep going, thats all you can do, as long as you dont run and hide, you should get through it and come out the other side, im not saying it will go away forever, but coz we have it so much we learn how to deal with it and somehow get through it and it manages to get better, just keep going, never give in and learn to find ways to cope with it when you get it
i think it just naturally gets easier the more you get used to it coz you start to realise no matter how bad it is, nothing serious ever happens, you dont die, you dont pass out etc, its scary i know and its hard but just keep going and be brave like you are and hoepfully you will come through it xx iwish you luck xx
As janeyjane said try not to run and hide from it as it will only make it worse.

Here is what she tells you.
face,Accept,float and let time time pass.
So here is what you and me and everyone on here does
We fight the feelings that is the nature of our body we are fighting to stay alive and get through this.
She says instead of fighting accept it no more fighting yes it is their just accept that it will be there till you follow this method and wait till your nerves calm down.
Float through the panic and anxiety. Do not worry about it.
