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

I just dont know whats wrong with me these days.  My anxiety level is off the rictor scale.  I just panic over practically everything.  Being alone, being with people, going out, staying in, the t v that stresses me big time on occasions, I am panicing in advance.  Tomorrow I go to town to do banking and then the groceries shopping, I just dont know how I will cope, I need to go from minute to minute, not even hour by hour without panicing, I am just constantly on edge, worried about everything, cant cope with anything not properly, my hands shake, I feel like I cant breathe,  I have a minor infection at the moment and that worries me too.  HELP!!!!!!!

I have started to do Yoga recently. I have found that exercise really helps me to feel at ease. My Doctors recommend that as well as an important part of my regimen. If you can't find a class there are also online meditation audio clips of guided meditations. It might not solve the problem immediately - but it does help me in the moment...And I bet if I did it religiously it would really help me have both that structure, habit and practice. Peace to you ruth!

I hate it when anxiety train wrecks all over my life. It makes me feel like one piece of wreckage just leads to another. I turn into Doomsaying Sally and see threats at every breeze.

I don't know what's *wrong* with either one of us, but I take it one episode at a time and ply lots of extra self-care to get through ^it^.

Stabilizing support while you ride it out, Ruth.

Lately I find myself being the same way and there is someone else close to me who does it too. It's annoying as hell and it annoys the other people who are nearby. It makes them feel that they did something or said something to you. I know that you can't help it but try to do something that will help you relax like yoga, reading a good book, listening to music or whatever that makes you feel good.

I often find that I stress out over every little thing. I wish I didn't. I have tried many things to help. Mostly I try talking to the universe/god. Praying that he will help me find my way. I have a lava stone bracelet that I use lavender essential oils on to help calm me and a diffuser at night with lavender. I hope that you can find peace.

So sorry you are going through a rough time. I get the same thing.... days, weeks in a row of just constant panicking and lots of anxiety every day without a break! I feel for you.

Take some deep breaths. Start with the basics - make sure you are eating a healthy, complete diet, you're sleeping well, hydrating, doing some exercise, doing hobbies that relax your mind.

I hope you feel better soon. Hugs.

I agree with GirlinCalif. See your doctor. Try and focus on what is the root cause of your anxiety, and build up gradually from there. Have someone as a sounding board, just for support. I would keep a basic daily journal or day timer. Have a rating scale 1=low, 10=high. Keep notes and show your doctor and regular follow ups. Keeping a record might assist for you and your doctor. For me, I cannot meditate, but it may help you. Try to calm you mind. You are not alone. Lavender might help as well. Please keep up posted. Hugs.

Is there anyone that can be there for you, physically? It helps me to have someone I can trust, around and talk to when my anxiety levels are spiking. Hope everything gets better!

    I haven't written in my diary on my computer since May because I thought that my computer was dying.  I got away from writing but my computer is hanging in there.  I think that I will start writing in it again.  It's so therapeutic.
