General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another.

I feel nervous and tired

Hey all,


I've been super tired all day today and now that I have time for a nap I keep getting super nervous or anxious. I get this feeling of uneasiness and my stomach gets real queazy. My arms start feeling super heavy and tingly. I then start freaking out and wondering if I am going to feel like this forever. I know it is an irrational thought that is going through my head but it feels so damn real. I just feel like I need some rest, but I am scared of feeling this way. Then I start thinking of how I am going to feel like this later on in the day. Does anyone feel like this sometimes? What do you do? Is there coping skills or something that can help me?

I have been feeling like that for a while due to a panic attack set back a few months ago. I've been through the ringer with meds so now that I am getting off my current one (Zoloft), my thoughts have been pretty horrendous. I keep thinking "Will I feel like this forever?" "Why can't I relax?" "Great, now my heart is racing." "My mind really won't stop and I am horribly uncomfortable!" I should also note that my anxiety has been bad so my appetite is gone and when I do try to eat I get panicky. Basically, I am just forcing myself to get through day and keep busy. At night I take melatonin to help me sleep and it is wonderful. I am sorry I cannot offer more support but you're not alone.

have you seen a dr for this? i get a head ache then the rest of the symptoms come, i know i am having a panic attack for no reason. so i take my panic attack pills 1 in morning and 1 at night. seems to help but i get panic attacks in the evening for no apparent reason. i try to go out and visit friends to keep my mind off the panic attacks and keep my self busy when weather is good.. hope you start to feel better and find out why you feel that way. good luck and be safe

I have started to say I feel like I am 'accelerating' and I don't know why... I will be fine, nothing going on and then all of a sudden my heart will speed up, I get super hot, sweat and just feel like I'm going on full blast and then I cry! UGH.. I hate it. I've been to the DR., I've had lab work done and re-done, I've had a ekg, echo, stress test, brain, cervical, lumbar and thoracic MRI done... They have literally checked me from head to toe and NOTHING! SO, why? It's miserable. I know how you feel... I just want to be NORMAL. I would not wish this on my worst enemy. I wish there was a button I could push to fix everyone that's ever experienced it. It makes me feel like something is wrong with me and there just isn't other than my attacks. :( I'm so sorry you're going through this. I pray it gets better for you soon.

I never read the other comments, so I may repeate some things. The 4-4-4 breathing, or I do 4-4-4-4 breathing. Triangle breathing, or square breathing. Take a deep breath on the count of four, hold it for a count of four, exhale for a count of four, start again or hold your end breath for another four. Square breathing is the one that adds the other four at the end, and triangle is just the breath in, hold, breath out. I find that square breathing helps me. I get the same way, and I think there is medication for that. Hope you get better!!!
