I am unable to control my anxiety
Anxiety makes me feel breathless. And as I am having anxiety whole day, I feel like dieying all time. Professionals told that anxiety is due to some fear but i tried to figure what is scarying me so much that i can't even breathe. But no, there is nothing there whoch scares me. I mean there are some things thinking of which gives me stress but i am not afraid of this. Whatever I see I get anxious. I just force my brain to get into present moment but it doesn't works, instead I feel like I am getting insane and i feel like my brain is not a part of mine as I am trying to control it. If it would me mine, I won't have to say myself-" think better".
@Faithfulmap3910 I'm really sorry you're feeling this way. Sometimes, anxiety can stem from deeper fears or worries that aren’t always immediately clear to us, and it's okay not to have all the answers right now. It's also common for the present moment to feel harder to handle when anxiety is high, because it can amplify the stress and make it seem like everything is out of control.
One thing that might help is focusing on something that reassures you, like your favorite music or a comforting film, to shift your attention away from the anxiety. It can be helpful to also try grounding exercises, such as the 5-4-3-2-1 technique. This involves focusing on your senses in the present moment: identify 5 things you can see, 4 things you can feel, 3 things you can hear, 2 things you can smell, and 1 thing you can taste. It helps bring you back into the present and can lessen that feeling of being disconnected from your own mind.
Anxiety can make us feel breathless, and it's exhausting when it takes over our day. You're not alone in feeling like this, and sometimes, it’s just about finding small, comforting ways to ground yourself and reassure your mind that it’s okay. It's okay not to have all the answers right now—just be kind to yourself and take it one moment at a time. You’re not alone in this 💛
Thank you very much for your help. I had suffered from anxiety for a really long time that I started to think that I have messed up with my brain or I am not alright and can never live a normal life. Even today whenever I wake up, the only thing in my mind is that "I have anxiety and I have to fix it". My whole day goes into it.
Secondly, whenever I am just getting back into present, I feel better, then I say myself that " I thought this way so I am feeling better. So I have to think like this always."" Then I start ruminating thoughts and loose my chance to enjoy that moment. It is just uncontrollable. This is why it feels like I am messed up.
The only thing I want is just to forget that I got anxiety ( for now).
you know I can relate to this and let me just tell you if you feel like you have some physical problems and not mental. Try to look at that way because that can also treat a lot of anxiety and trust me. I’m there and I don’t know how actually meant to problems but I still have anxiety because something is just not working. OK you know, but it doesn’t always have to be your brain it can be your body that’s the issue and from my experience I can tell to you that it is what’s happening. Something went wrong. One time from the moment everything just felt so different like the anxiety was that they like you know it happened, but I’m trying to say that not everything is just in the head you don’t have to be scared of anything. I also have the same fear like it’s not that something is scaring me. I just have a fear that something will happen to me you know, but it’s not always coming from the head.
mark that n good luck!!!!!!!!
Thanks. I have already brought it into action
I am a teenager, so can that be because of hormonal changes? Another point I think is that I am trying to learn deep breathing since 2-3 years but unable to do. I just make it worse. Like whenever I try to take deep breaths or when I am focusing on my breath, my breaths get faster and uneasy automatically.
