Waves of anxiety/panic
Does anyone else ever experience anxiety that just seems to come in waves? It usually lasts a few hours with me, leaving me exhausted. And during that time I try all the things, breathing, thinking logically, Journaling, mindfulness. Ugh. It's so hard to explain to people who don't have anxiety.
@IrelandsMommy
yes. The same as you. It’s like a torture
Sounds like hormones to me, maybe you already know that. When you get them checked they say they’re normal for your age on their made up graph 😂
I was thinking about getting my hormones checked to see. I think I'm perimenopausal, but that could still last a long time.
@IrelandsMomma Are hormones something that can really cause anxiety to be worse? I hadn't really thought of that before.
Yes. Can variate why, someone trouble with. Some exsample Depression related or if another unde laying cause.
Some also exsample react to weather or night/day.
If you have or do not have anxiety. Either way, there is more then kind anxiety, different kinds.
True can be very hard explain to those, not used to or don't know, what one talks about.
Yes I get it.
Yes, that’s very relatable. 😔
I am having extreme anxiety right now that won't stop. It comes in waves and waves
@Den2542
I'm dealing with the same thing right now. It's the worst when I first wake up
For me it's worse at night and here it's 732 pm. It just doesn't stop. I am trying to distract or deflect and it's not working. I have no one to call..
@Den2542
I don't know how to message you but I'm available to chat
@Den2542 Thanks for sharing this. I was wondering if you have any coping skills, that help you, when your anxiety is high? If so, would you be willing to share some of your coping tips with us? I feel it could be helpful for others.
One tip that helps me, is Meditation and mindfulness. I do meditation and mindfulness together. It helps me a lot. There are other tips that help me, as well. But, for the sake of time and space, I shared just one tip.
I am currently going through this. I feel like no matter what I try nothing helps. Also tend to get very nauseous
That us what is happening to me. I overthink, I get naucious, more over thinking, more days without eating sleeping. I just want it to end.
@Den2542
Exactly the same for me. I just want to get back to waking up and not feeling like my heart is going to beat out of my chest
I'm tempted to make an appointment with the doc and ask for meds. I know I need something
I've been finding CBD helpful to at least relax my body
Do you have the 7 cups app?
