Can someone help me with my anxiety and insomnia?
What you aer describing is night anxiety. This is from an article that will help: So you won’t think you’re the only one, I’ll start with statistics: 50% -70% of anxiety and panic disorder sufferers have reported having night anxiety attacks as well. You would think that anxiety and stress could at least give you a break at night – but no. Maybe you are worried about losing your job. You go to bed, but toss and turn for an hour. Finally you get out of bed at 2 A.M with full-blown anxiety or panic attack. How You Become Afraid of the Night Your anxiety quickly spreads to other areas: a nine o’clock doctor’s appointment, the urgent tasks you didn’t get to accomplish today, and the presentation you’re going to blow if you don’t get some sleep. Awful thoughts fill your head:…”I’m going to be a wreck tomorrow”, “This thing will drive me crazy”…”Am I going to die tonight?” After a few nights of these repeated thoughts, you start being afraid of the night starting with early evening. It is a hopeless situation. My Little Story I used to be sure that I am going to die. With what was racing in my mind, there was no way to drift back to sleep if I could go to sleep at all. The quiet of the night, the isolation and “night sounds” were daily triggers to my night anxiety. I couldn’t sit still, but I didn’t have much energy to move. I could pace around for hours thinking how I am going to lose my mind. I didn’t have a spouse or anyone else to lean on. Over the years I found just a few methods that gave me some relief from night anxiety, I wanted to share them with you: The Best Methods to Fight Night Anxiety:... Keep reading at the source...
Anxiety is a physical manifestation of your fearful thoughts. your fearful thoughts take you hostage and anxious feelings appear. shortness of breath, rapid heartbeat, feeling like you are detached, fear of dying, etc…..You need to practice self-soothing when you become anxious. Sit down, take nice deep breaths, and exhale slowly, tell yourself, like you do with a child that this will pass. No one has died from anxiety attacks. the body has its own thermostat, the adrenaline will elevate your heartbeat and it will return to the normal baseline in minutes. in those minutes, practice distraction, slow, deep breathing, and just be still. it will pass.you can seek support from a CBT therapist and/or medication temporarily, like Lexapro, Clonozepam, Xanax as needed. also , look deeply and analyze what in your life is changing, and when the anxiety began to feel intolerable. Anxiety is your body telling you to pay attention to something in your life that is causing you pain. when you discover what it is, make changes. for the sake of tha quality of your life. No one should suffer with Anxiety with our knowledge and Psychological and Medical advancements. Good luck….
Does writing help you cope with stress, depression, anxiety, or anger?
i saw this question and laughed. it's funny you should ask because i always do my best when i am stressed, depressed, anxious and angry. i have bipolar disorder and i wrote a full length play in 12 hours during a manic phase last fall. i didn't think much of it, but a teacher encouraged me to enter it into a national contest. i didn't think i'd place, but i won the gold key for the scholastic arts and writing award. the same award that robert reford, slyvia plath and others won at my age. i feel that the surge of emotion is best to be caught through language. it's a positive release, better than cutting or hitting or self-starvation and drinking. it's a mechanism that brings me joy and helps so much. i too am an over analyzer, but sitting down and pounding out poems, stories, plays and even answers on this site, help so much. that's why i hate being numb. because i can't bring myself to write. and i love to write. it's a crazy conundrum, but i identify with the way writing helps you. music is the icing on the cake. my current playlist, the by the way album by the red hot chili peppers. love them.
START RUNNING (not an expected answer!). well all you need is your half an hour .No matter how much motivational books and video you will read and watch,these may not help in overcome from these situation,because it is mind where your problem exist(a dialogue from A BEAUTIFUL MIND) .you will feel motivated after reading quotes ,books ,watching video ,then slowly it will turn out a normal thing for you.read here Why after watching motivational content, feeling motivated and telling myself I'll change, my life doesn't change at all? yes we all find it hard . A growing body of research supports what so many trail running enthusiasts, myself included, have experienced themselves: logging your miles in nature does wonders for mental health. Depression and anxiety is linked to reduced neurogenesis, and it's possible that SSRI drugs like Prozac encourage the growth of new brain cells. Recent research on running indicates that it does the same thing, but on an even larger scale and without the infamous side-effects of the drugs, like weight gain and decreased sex drive. read more Why Running is Incredible Medicine for your Brain Neuroscientists at Cambridge University have shown that running stimulates the brain to grow fresh grey matter and it has a big impact on mental ability.A few days of running led to the growth of hundreds of thousands of new brain cells that improved the ability to recall memories without confusing them, a skill that is crucial for learning and other cognitive tasks, researchers said. Here are some personal advice :1.. Do things whatever you like .It is okay to turn down other's expectation from you.2. Travel..travel and travel ..find a place that is all away from your day to day work.you will judge that all you are going through is really nonsense.3.consult a psychologist .don't hesitate for professional help just because 'what other will think?'.4. Start solving mind blending puzzles.you waste a lot of your time in thinking ,well invest your thinking in these problems ,you will cut down your 'stressed ' time .you will feel good about yourself when you will solve a problem.solve more and more realistic problem.5.Manage a balance diet .Include green vegetables and fruits in your food.hope these will help you..leave your room,worry, comforts .Approach real world !!HOPE now you will care about your running shoe!
Can anxiety and stress make you tired?
In short, yes, anxiety and stress can lead to you being tired. Stress, especially, compromises your immune system, which makes you more susceptible to illness. Stress can also interrupt sleep. Additionally, anxiety CAN interrupt sleep. Not having sleep leads to even more of a compromised immune system, slower thinking, irritability, and chaotic emotions. Meditation helps to focus your thoughts. The best way I've heard meditation described is that it's the space between thoughts. Typically our thoughts are one right after the other, but meditation trains us to stretch that 'quiet' space in between. The good thing about meditation is that it strengthens our focus "muscle", which positively affects us in other aspects of our lives (i.e. in class, with our friends), in that we can stay focused and attentive for longer periods of time. Now, with all of that said, I do have to add on that there may be more going on that just lack of sleep and lack of meditation. If you are thinking about/contemplating suicide, then you should probably go to a counselor or psychiatrist (different things) to be assessed - there's a strong correlation between depression and suicidal ideation. That is NOT to say that you for sure have depression - that's not what I mean, at all. However, I think it best to err on the side of caution and get checked out. Lastly, alternative ways you can go about defeating the feelings of hopelessness, worthlesness, guilt, etc., are through consistent exercise (which releases those 'feel good' chemicals - half hour per day, at least), meditating, a consistent sleep pattern, and getting yourself assessed through a therapist, psychiatrist, or psychologist. Hope this helps you in some way...
Stomach and hives anxiety related?
I have panic attacks... many times a day... In fact, every minute of every day feels like one big panic attack... I am never calm... But for the past few weeks i've been even more nervous than usual... Starting about 2 weeks ago i noticed what appears to be hives all over my body... And then about 3 days ago i got a horrible stomachache, and started going to the bathroom a lot. Today i've been noticing that though my stomach is staying at a consistent level of...discomfort, when i start to panic it feels like someone knocks me in the stomach... i truly feel the need to double over in pain... Could these symptoms be related to my "nerves" or something else? Thank you for your time... =)
L wont ejacelate any more can someone help me?
The more you try, the more difficult and elusive the prize. You are probably sore and stressed, the very opposite of the feelings required for orgasm. You need to be relaxed and alert. Think of it as a one-off and don't worry about it or else you will create anxiety that will lead to further problems. Leave yourself alone for a week. If you get your morning glory within the next week, you've not got a medical problem. If you don't, then go see the doctor.
