Anxious for no apparent reason 24/7
hey all. i hope its okay that i am taking this space here.
ive been experiencing a somewhat constant feeling of anxiety over the past 4 months and it is getting really difficult to deal with. its like i have a somehow anxious feeling all the time and then if any small things occur or dont go as planned my emotions completely explode and i get panic. but i just feel so much tension in my chest and stomach all the time, my dreams are so stressful and i wake up being alarmed for no reason. i dont really get whats happening to me or what to do. i eat very healthy, i practice mindfulness and it helps in the moment but not on the long term. does anyone have any tips on this? i would really appreciate it :)
thank you for reading if you have made it this far!
If you can talk to someone just for them to listen seems to help I am struggling with anxiety now and trying to find ways to help just to let you know you are not alone even though it feels like it I find doing something or finding funny videos to watch gets me out of some attacks . Feel free to message me anytime I will try and help you in anyway I can and you would be helping me to
I feel the exact same way, my mind is a mess definitely having those racing thoughts. For me the only thing I’ve been able to do is take meds and distract my mind as much as I can. I’ll watch tv, do a word search (if i can focus), color, go for a walk (if i have the energy), try to nap (if i’m feeling tired). for me it’s easier to be distracted from my anxiety when I’m around people too.
this will pass, i’m sorry you’re feeling this way too. you got this.
while occupation can be helpful in engaging your mind, I think it sounds like your nervosus system is overly exhausted like mine has been. I’ve been there and it eventually led to a nervous breakdown of panic attacks and what not. I had to take leave for several months to get a handle on what was going on. Eventually after thousands of dollars down the drain, I discovered ACT and DARE and also healing my nerves with the below book. You’re not alone. In fact this is common and happened to me, happens to millions and millions of Americans. And worldwide. Educate yourself about it and you’ll discover probably similarly for treatment you can accept and float with it using exposure therapy with response prevention to treat any fears of anxiety or the like.
