Unknown Anxiety

I am feeling ill, tired, run down, tight chested, have a head ache and am stressed but nothing has changed from previous journal entries. I don't know what is stressing me out. I feel anxious and can't identify why.
I dont' even have any words to help work it out. I just feel anxious.
Maybe it is the waiting for something else to happen.

I think you should get out of the house, It helps me. go for a walk, go shopping. Read a book do something to take your mind off the anxiety

hey... you have to get up and exercise... you need to physically fight the bodily symptoms of stress... this kind of stress can be tamed by strenuous exercise like running, hard workouts at the gym, and then at home do yoga and meditation. Look up this book - The Relaxation Response- by Herbert Benson MD. Read it - it\'s how to meditate. it works !!

I get that too, anxiety for no reason, unknown why. I will feel out of sorts, and jittery, headache, stomachache. I find that music, or a hot shower, or riding my bike, or laying down for a nap helps, just let those feelings pass. Hope you feel better soon, time has a way of letting those feelings pass sometimes. That headache, I heard that alternating from cold-to hot can break the pain, like hot steam from shower, or pan of warm water on stove, hold head over, then to ice cubes on head, or put head in cold water, it worked for me. Ibuprofin works for me too, like Advil, or any generic ibuprofin. Water is also a wonder pain reliever for me.

Advil is the only drug I really take it does help a lot at least with the physical effects of anxiety.

I was unable to really get out and do anything I had to watch my father all day. I suppose I could have done some exercise around the house. I\'ll try that next time.
