I understand so well what you mean. The thing is to stop the negative il always be like this, with I have anxiety I am dealing with it, as you know, breathing, relaxation does help. I go through these phases it takes a lot of practice but it does now pass for me. If it does come back I tell myself it will pass, and it does, and it can for you. Im not making light of it, I know how dreadful these feeling are please believe me. God Bless, Susie x

I feel the same thing as you. I go to bed feeling a little better, but then wake up every morning with the feeling of anxiety and jitters. I've been through this several times in the past 10 years and know that it will pass (just like Susie says). However, it takes time, patience, faith and more patience.
God bless you and all of us either going through this and living with this.

Go to your doctor and ask for some blood work so you can check about the vitamins and minerals. That's a pretty easy thing to get control over if it is a problem and you'll feel so much better (I have to take iron, b12, and vitamin D because I become deficient in those 2 three things and it makes me feel like hell). Some times just baby steps like that towards feeling a little more in control of your circumstances can work wonders. Also, I recommend finding a counselor you like (not a psychiatrist because they are too prescription happy) and seeing if talking it through with someone helps.

I thank god for this wonderful site. For so long I thought I was the only one feeling the way you do. Please take some solace in knowing that you are not alone. As awful as you feel when the symptoms increase know that they will go away. For whatever reason our bodies chemical makeup gets out of whack and screws with our minds. Hang in there it has to get better..

I posted this in a response a few minutes ago, and I want rskb3 to be sure and read this so, I'll paste it here.

You sound like your on a guilt trip from eating too much junk food. Which can directly effect you not only physically, but mentally as well.

So, you should be eating a diet rich in Omega-3 fatty acids to help facilitate communication between nerve cells in the brain and to assist in stabilizing your mood. There is also a fair amount of evidence that omega-3 may also decrease the severity or even alleviate panic attacks. I haven't had a panic attack since I started on omega-3 last summer.

Also increase your intake of vitamin D-rich foods to boost serotonin levels. Increase your intake of antioxidants, which also help stabilize mood, amino acids, which your body needs to produce the neurotransmitters norepinephrine and dopamine.

And vitamin B complex, which aids the central nervous system and helps balance the transmission of neurotransmitters, and helps form red blood cells, where deficiencies can lead to mood swings.

So take a high potency multi-vitamin formulated, for females. Eat lots of fish, nuts, grains and fresh fruit. Use olive oil daily and follow the directions.

thank you everyone great advice!

Living in fear is a horrible thing. I fear that I will be this way for the rest of my life as well. You are not alone. I used to wish and wish that I could just be NORMAL. . . but im not. So I will work with what I have and try to find the light. Always have hope. You can't lose your hope. It's all we have. Try and focus on the good things. Focus on all the beauty in the world. Remind yourself of all you have and how much you are loved. Keep at it, it WILL get better.

Tony00 your ARE normal, just because we have an anxiety disorder does not mean we are not normal. If a person suffered daily with migraine, they would be normal to, its just that these things happen to people but it doesent mean they are abnormal, that's my take on it anyway, Susie x
