My anxiety is only getting worse!?
So I've had anxiety for as long as I can remember, and now I feel like its getting worse then ever. I'm 22 5'3, 190 pounds and married with a 2 year old boy. I've tried 4 different everyday anti-anxiety/depressant pills and none has worked, I currently take ativan when i have an attack but I feel like I could take them everyday. My symptoms are as follows: constantly feeling of doom, like something horrible is going to happen at any moment, I'm afraid to be home alone with my son because I feel like if something bad does happen then he'll be alone, I have constant chest pain (which i've had many ekgs, tests and been to the er multiple times for), I've called my husband home from work before because it gets so bad, I feel like I need to be around someone at all times and even if i'm in a room full of people I still feel like I'm alone..and all of these symptoms seem to be getting worse. Please help, what have you done for this? I try to relax and breath and pray everytime but it never works...My anxiety is only getting worse!?

Anxiety and stress really bothering me :(?
First off, you need to take your anxiety medication as soon as possible. Try your best to get back on your dosing regimen as soon as you can. Taking your anxiety meds now should help you calm down. You can also try taking a hot shower or bath, putting a warm or cool compress on your forehead (which ever you feel most comfortable with), have a nice hot cup of decaffeinated tea, or put on a good movie. I have trouble with my anxiety too and take 4mg of Xanax a day. I also take Diazepam which is the generic equivalent of Valium, also an anti-anxiety medication. What works best for me is to promptly take my proper dose of medication, and go into a quiet room with a comfortable temperature (not too hot, not too cold). I usually pop on the TV or put in a good movie and have something to drink. Be careful not to drink anything with alcohol in it though if you're taking your medication! The best thing for you to do right now is to just take your medication and try and relax. Don't worry about work or your girlfriend right now, just focus on yourself and feeling better for the moment. You can also try rubbing the pressure point in between your thumb and your index finger - it's a major stress point and gently massaging it can help significantly. It's located right on the front of your hand where that extra flab of skin is between your thumb and index finger. Massage it gently for about a minute and see if that helps. Also, avoid caffeine, alcohol, and you can even try exercising to try and tire yourself out for the time being. Here's a good deep breathing exercise that helps me sometimes: 1. Lie down on a flat surface 2. Place one hand on your stomach, just above your navel. Place the other hand on your chest. 3. Breathe in slowly and try to make your stomach rise a little. 4. Hold your breath for a second. 5. Breathe out slowly and let your stomach go back down. Repeat this exercise for as long as you feel you need to (it usually takes me about 2-5 minutes). I really hope this helps you. Feel free to email me with any other questions or concerns you may have. I'd love to help. Also, my AIM screename is nikki426x if you'd like to chat. Try and relax, you can do it. I know you can. :)
School gives me anxiety. Will it get better?
Hi!! I know this looks long, but it really isn't. Ok so I have been doing research and I think I have generalized anxiety disorder (I think that's what it's called). I had to stay home from school Thursday because I threw up and I felt really really anxious. My heart was pounding, my mussels were tight, I was shaking, my chest felt heavy, and I had to breathe really deeply. I feel much better today, but I still don't feel right. I still have a lot of trouble sleeping at night. I think I only start to feel anxiety when I think about the stressful things at school and how my life changed. I was homeschooled for about two years and it was awesome. I never had to deal with the drama that life has to offer. This year I started going to a HUGE middle school (I have been going to this school for about 3 weeks), and I get really bored and feel like in in a prison. I get anxiety when I'm away from my parents and siblings, because I am so used to just sitting in the living room together and learning. I had sooo many friends while I was home schooled, I never had anxiety, and I had so much time on my hands so I was able to learn violin and become really good at art. Now that I go to school I am more quiet and I don't enjoy doing the things I used to love :(. I don't feel like playing violin and watching my favorite youtubers on YouTube. I don't feel the same. I used to be able to daydream about the guys and youtubers I had crushes on, but now I can't even daydream about anything nonstressful. I'm so sorry this is so long. Just talking to people about my anxiety makes me feel better (I know that is probably not a good thing, but thank you so much for reading). Do you think my personality is changing because my mind and body needed a change? Do you think one day I will be able to sleep peacefully at night and daydream about my fantasy crushes? I think I need to understand life isn't perfect, and were not made to be happy all the time. What do you think? Thank you so much!
So this girl and I have been talking and recently I've let my anxiety get the best of me and we have been having petty meaningless arguments and she is growing annoyed with everything. How do I fix this situation? What do I say to her?
It clearly indicates that both of yours mind sets are in opposites. If this continues with meaningless and restless arguments forever after their marriage, the life becomes hell and hopeless to maintain love and affection.There are number of human lifes we are seeing in arranged marriages as well as love marriages. In such case of arranged marriages, when such opposite mentalities exists between spouses, one of the spouses will try to adjust with compromise attitude taking help of mental energy. If it continues a regular activity of arguments, annoying each other, it becomes impossible to maintain get together and hence leads to divorce attempts if children are not born to them. Even children are there to those family, they try to be best option of divorce as they are unable to control mental egony. That leads to reliving from mental stress and to lead happy life with available wealth and assets, after disposing off amicably with the help of both of their parents.Incase of love marriages , it is better to check their behaviors to respect individual minds and one who observes their triats,before their marriage. It avoids the risk involved after their marriage.On the other hand, it is very clear to mention that the marriages and living together are all connected with past sanskaras carried on to the present life. This complexity intanglement is very difficult to explain as they are not physical objects to visualize the karmic laws with which the life is fixed. What ever you try to avoid, other wise to say, escape from already builtin impressions in your ego-mind is impossible to delete , unless you're counter acted with new sanskaras development. Even if you try to develop new life after the old episode is over, but with fresh means, there also tend to develop similar egony which are not avoidable. The best way is to renounce the actions to avoid developing of fresh sanskaras.If any body is interested to know the mundane knowledge, check my answers >1100, mostly on spirituality. God bless you.
