Hey ChristPunk777, I know how you feel to. I have the same problem. Unfortunately there is no way to elimnate the worry problem for good. Ive tried… But I have found my own way of coping. I normally turn on music while I am worrying. My favorite band is pink floyd and another reason I like to listen to them is because there music is relaxing and classic. I close my eyes.. put the headphones on. and just dream off the anxiety. It works.. but you have to do it for about 20 minutes for it to
OMG That’s What I do!!! all the time it really helps!! I listen to load and music like Black Flag Or The Ramones the helps me lol.
lol… yeah it does help me to. You like Ramones? Thats awesome.
What other bands do you listen to.
I have generalized anxiety! I hate it! ive had it for like 2 months really really bad! I can barely take it! its SO hard! i wish it would go away! I was taking Ativan and it worked but the doctors said i cant take it for long cause its addicting. I also tried Seroqel but that didnt work, either did zoloft. I didnt relize how good i had life till now! If it would just go away i would be SO happy!!!!!!
I had OCD from age 15 – 25, and I currently have depression and anxiety. My anxiety is not general, though. It only comes out in specific situations.
It takes courage to post a video like this. Thank you for doing so.
omg
i have GAD also…
and i know how it feels trust me, but your video made me laugh a little. i felt like you wanted to laugh in it. but yeah .. no jokes anxiety is big deal..
best regards
wow i just started suffering from the same things. ITS VERY VERY SCARY. I GET TO A STATE OF CONFUSION THEN I FEEL LIKE IM BOUT TO DIE. MY HEART BEATS HARD LIKE A HEARTATTACK. BUT IM LEARNING HOW TO COPE WITH IT. BY THINKING POSTIVE AND KEEPING BUSY.LIKE ON THE COMPUTER OR WATCHING SOMETHING ON TV THATS VERY INTERETING WERE MY MINDS DIRECTLY ON THE TV NOT ON THOUGHTS. I JUST CAME FROM THE HOSPTIAL I THOUGHT SOMETHING WAS SERIOUS WRONG. BUT ITS REALLY A MIND THING
You mention some egs – being in a mall & worrying that everyone is looking at you and experiencing severe anxiety when bumping into ppl you’ve known for years. My question is do u think these above examples suggest that u might also suffer social anxiety disorder i.e. worrying what others think about you, that they are always judging you negatively and/or crtiically and u feeling very anxiety as a result? Do u have these concerns when you’re mixing with others? Keep well, Trina
Pink Floyd has that ability to transcend the listener to another place, a more relaxing, interesting and soothing one
I suffer from severe GAD and still in a battle
Anxiety has literally robbed me of my life. I just worry about everything. I also worry about keeping everything in a certain order, and if it’s not I get really worried. I’ve had it severely since I was 14. I wake up everyday wishing I were dead.
what does it mean if like, my heart starts racing faster than normal, thoughts are racing, getting figity, always having to touch or tab on something like i cant stop wanting to move, aggravated at nothing at all and then since about last night getting sad about nothing and heart and thoughts still racing to where it wakes you up constantly?
(my comment continued) this started about 4 days ago when my teacher pointed out that i have been spazing while i was playing my violin.. i am so confused.. my dad thinks im having a mild panic attack but im not sure if panic attacks last for more than one day… i have no clue whats going on.. this has never happened to me before… grr…
@Iznessmaurer GAD = you worry about everthing, so SA is very much a part of GAD also hypochondria and OCD tie in. GAD is the worst to have in terms of mental illness because you just WORRY ABOUT EVERYTHING. for me i obsess over my heart pounding and other physical symptoms, i always think something is wrong with me. that i have a disease doctors have missed. i fear being at work, and forced to interact with people, anxiety symptoms flare. also i avoid large groups of people in general. it sucks
i have both depression and GAD, i get it in cycles, a few months of anxiety everyday eventually throws me into a depression. usually the depression takes away some of my anxiety symptoms, but whats the difference, depression is just as horrible! UGH! if only i could wave a magic wand and make it all go away. the search to end this illness just goes on and on
You try some Lsd in a safe place. It helped me a lot
I was just diagnosed with this and I haven’t stoped looking it up on the Internet it’s like am obssesd with this , and it makes alot of sence because I always felt like that movie the trumen show when am anywhere that there’s a lot of people like am the star of the show geez
hi… testing…
Hey johnsondkf,
thks alot for your post. Hope u’re feelin better now since your post was in Dec ’08.
Yeah, I have slight anxiety (and depression) and am taking Lexapro…
… (ctd)
Wanna tell u diff drugs work on diff people. I had tried at least 10 diff types and even wat worked for me then doesn’t now… plus e side effects etc.
So it’s good that u kept tryin n got e 1 tt works best 4 u.
… (ctd) When in doubt, my advice is to seek help fr a Psychiatrist.
A good one really helps alot n some things we really need them to advise.
Here’re a few pointers fr my Psychiatrist to help u n anyone with anxiety:
CONTROL method:
C ontrol the amt of stress, O pen up to others, N eutralize negative thoughts, T ime management, R elax and exercise, O bserve n learn fr mistakes, L ist down priorities/ values.
Really helps me alot!
Well, thks again dude n have faith!
Cheers,
Marilyn
We are not alone
Anyone know how much Bipolar plays apart of this condition?
dammit, my anxiety is getting to me again….im frantically looking for somebody with the same issues to talk about it with….i wish there was a support group exclusive to anxiety sufferers but there isnt one where i am…=( ugh…theres a lightning storm outside and i just keep repeating in my head “please just strike me right now, please just get this over with i cant stand it anymore”…the suffering is just too much all too often
When you think everybodies thoughts are about you in the mall etc, it sound to me that you have schizophrenic. I was schizo and angciety and depression, and i took valium for 5 days 5mgx3 tablets each day. It cured my schizo but not depression and angciety.
