Do you have anxiety???

Post by DameonDire »

This is a serious discussion about anxiety.

How do you cope??? Does it effect your livelihood??? Does it hold you back from doing anything???

My story:

My anxiety is so uncontrollable that, i get nervous even when I think about the thing that is making me nervous. I have linked it to the cause of my asthma aswell as other variables.

I want to find out how people cope, causes, psychological side and so on.

Feel free to read through in general.

I have Generalized Anxiety Disorder and I cope through better living with pharmaceuticals. Without my medication, I have panic attacks with very little real provocation and at one point it was impossible to live normally. I had to have a complete plan of everything I was doing, how long I thought it would take and once I got there, where the exits were (agoraphobia).

My disorder was/is caused by another disorder that I have. Stress is a trigger that causes me immense amounts of pain, so constantly worrying about keeping the stress in my life to a minimum and it just snowballed.

From the psychological standpoint, I do speak to a psychologist and it does help. Is that something you might consider?

Yes possibly. I am doing psychology for A-levels so I could understand what they are talking about.

I feel stress is one of the great flaws when it comes to anxiety but I am proud to say I can keep it under control simply by remaining calm or 'counting to ten'. My stress is trigger when I have too much to do but so little time, especially when it comes to my education. Which I also worry about a lot more than I should.

If you don't mind me asking what is your disorder??? It might be that anxiety is the cause of your disorder not your disorder causing you anxiety and stress. Sounds like your doctor already knows this by giving you anxiety controlled drugs.

I have chronic migraines, daily. I'm going on year eight this July. I never had a problem with anxiety before the pain disorder started and I was prescribed the benzodiazepenes before I was diagnosed with anxiety as a preventative pain measure.

I'm a semester away from my psych undergrad degree so I understand the way it works and trust me, the migraines were there first.

Interesting.

Do you have any other problems that could have caused the migranes?

Are you a migrane sufferer? If so, there is this new piece of technology and you use it (I think) 30 minutes daily and it stops migranes that occur on the day. (Please check it out, before buying one and consult your doctor, it may only work on some people depending on the type of migrane) and of course I am no doctor.

But maybe, are you saying that the migranes caused your problems or any problems which could lead to it.

Today I suffered immense abdominal pain and felt nasauated. (Forgive my spelling) My temperature gradually started to increase and I wanted to be away from people. As I have a mild form of claustiphobia, which is caused by my anxiety and I had an eposide today. So I freaked out after the pain and my temperature gradually increasing, I got out of collage away from people I felt the cold air, it was so good and then I broke down into tears but the pain and heat was still there. It was like I had cheated death and you knew could have died and you cried because you were happy not to have died, but the pain caused this.

So many things link together and finding the first cause is hard, before I can talk to my doctor and from which they will put me on meds which I don`t want as I have see the side-effects on people aswell as loved ones and I know what they do. So Finding the cause and dealing with it in a way you know how that is natural.

I hope your following all this. -.- Such an essay.

The thought is that they're hereditary. My mother has them, as does her father, and her mother and grandfather before her. There's a neurological component, quite obviously, and right now they are working on dealing with the neurotransmitters that affect pain. I go to a specialized clinic for the issue, so I'm fairly certain they know what they are doing and (please don't take offense) but I'm not looking for advice on how to deal with a long standing health problem, nor do I like feeling like a curiosity.

However, this is getting a bit off topic and is no longer about my anxiety.

True. Hereditery compontents have a lot to blame for, but they were said to be useful back when we really needed it. But I cannot see how we would want this qualities even if it were a million years ago.

What things cause you get get anxious?

I had a bad case of anxiety once. But with the support of close friends (I never told my family) I quickly recovered. Trust me, your friends can help.

No, not really, they are the words in itself.

Things that make me anxious is doing things where people laugh at me. I get anxious when I'm alone with someone. You could say its a sense of insecurity???
