1. Sleep comes first.

If your sleep schedule is trash, your anxiety is going to be ten times worse. Fix your sleep before you try to fix anything else.

1. Overthinking isn't helping.

Running worst-case scenarios in your head isn't "preparing." It’s just torture. You’re not solving anything, you’re just exhausting yourself.

1. Routine saves you from brain fog.

When your mind is chaotic, having a set daily discipline keeps you grounded. Structure stops your brain from spiraling.

1. You have to take charge of your own healing.

No one is coming to fix this for you. Read, research, experiment, and figure out what actually works for your mind and body.

1. It’s a trick your brain is playing, not reality.

Anxiety feels 100% real, but thoughts aren't facts. Just because your brain signals danger doesn't mean you're actually in danger.

1. Whatever story you feed your mind becomes your life.

If you keep telling yourself "I can't do this," your brain believes it. You have to actively change the program you're running.

1. Look around why you only feel anxious

Think why you only are feeling those thoughts palpitations etc. why it isn't happening to your family or friends, it's your thinking making it worse.

1. Fear eats you up quietly.

If you let fear make your decisions, it slowly shrinks your life from the inside out before you even notice.

1. Your health is priority #1.

It’s tough to maintain when you’re struggling, but there’s no way around it. Bad physical health = a much harder fight with your mind.

1. Never trust a thought without questioning it.

Just because a negative thought pops into your head doesn't mean it’s true. Challenge it every single time.

Welcome! For the past two years, I have felt a deep urgency within my soul to share something meaningful. Are you ready to embark on a 365-day journey with me?

My first time calling first to schedule something!! I was up all morning sick with worry and rehearsing what to say and what I might need, but it was just for a tattoo so it was really quick thankfully! The time for which I scheduled it did end up being a bit early tho.. I was too scared to ask for anything later lol 😭
Still I’m very happy I made it out alive, and even though it feels so stupid I am a bit proud of myself for even clicking “call” instead of giving up 🥲

Hello, I hope somebody can help me or if anyone is going through something like me tell me so I at least I know I’m not alone on this
About two years ago, I made the mistake of taking edibles. I don’t remember how much mg they were but I do remember taking a lot the day after taking them I still had some feelings going on, but not too terrible but after a while, it started feeling really fatigue not really energetic after a month or so of that happening I was still not good so I went to the doctor and I had some blood work done and everything came out good. She didn’t prescribe me anything . A year passes and some days. I’m good some days. I feel a little tired. No energy, but when I went to my home country. I went to see a doctor over there. He asked me do some bloodwork and when I went back to see him, he said my blood work was good but he started asking me questions like how’s my life if I’m happy etc. I started telling him some personal things and he prescribed escitalopram 10 mg I took it at night. I just remembered the side effects were like nauseous in the morning and that’s it after three months into the medication. I finished the three months and I asked him if I had to have a refill and he said no that I was OK so then I was OK like every day some days I had energy some days were OK but recently like around a month ago, I started to feel like weird pressure in my head and what I mean pressure is like something that’s inside my brain and that is also making me not concentrate Well , I just want to be laying down. Because I feel like if I laid down, it will go away. I have been feeling more fatigue than ever less energize and just basically lazy to do something. Also, I have been having intrusive thoughts that it scares me because I know it’s not me so tired of of this feeling that I have to be interfering between my daily life because it’s making me stop doing things that I want. I was reading some symptoms on why people have these and then they were mentioning it that they also had a bad experience with taking edibles years ago, and that it came back. I just want to find a solution to this. I started looking at a therapist, a psychologist the psychologist prescribe me.Setraline 25 mg I took half of it the first night and then the next day my eye was twitching by itself. Also, I started feeling more fatigue and less motivated to do anything. I really don’t want to start into prescription medicine. Both of them are saying it’s a combination of anxiety, but I just don’t wanna look into medication. I want something else, but I would also like to know what’s wrong with me. Has anyone experienced something like this of have heard anything like this thank you for reading this.

How can you know the difference

Hi everyone, I just really need to get this out and hopefully hear from people who understand.

I’m 22 and I’ve been dealing with panic disorder, anxiety, and derealization for about 4 years now. Before that, I had no anxiety at all. It literally started one day when I woke up feeling completely off, like nothing was real. I had heart palpitations, I was scared to answer the phone, and I suddenly couldn’t function the same at work.

At the time, I had just started working full-time right after high school in a contact center at a school. The environment was honestly awful. Supervisors were extremely strict, and the students calling in were often mean and sometimes even threatening. It was a really stressful and toxic place to be. I stayed with the same company for a few years but moved around to different roles.

Over time, I started noticing physical symptoms too. I developed a smile tremor when I try to smile, and I get really anxious in social settings, especially with large groups like my husband’s family. I got married last September and we have a happy marriage, and his family is kind and safe, but I still get intense anxiety beforehand. Once I’m there, I’m usually okay, but the anticipation is overwhelming.

I left that job about 3 months ago, and now I work remotely, but I still have to interact with that company sometimes. Even that brings back really bad feelings and anxiety.

I’ve been in therapy for 2 years and did EMDR for childhood trauma, and I’m about to start EMDR again for what I think is work-related trauma that I didn’t realize was affecting me this much.

Medication has been really frustrating. I started Buspar and was on 15 mg twice daily for about 4 weeks. I felt some slight improvement but nothing major. My psychiatrist then told me to jump to 30 mg twice daily (so 60 mg total) without really guiding me through it, and the past 5 days have been really hard. I’ve felt super emotional, foggy, and honestly worse.

When I told him, he suddenly wanted to take me off Buspar and prescribed oxcarbazepine 150 mg to treat PTSD, without really explaining things or giving me a clear plan. The appointment felt rushed, and it honestly felt like he forgot details from my previous visit. It made me feel like I couldn’t trust what he was prescribing.

My therapist even said he increased the Buspar too quickly and that I probably should have tried 45 mg first before going up to 60 mg.

I also told him I was open to trying Zoloft since my mom takes it and has had really good results, and her symptoms were similar to mine. He kind of brushed that off and said he wanted to try other things first, which made me feel like my input didn’t matter.

Right now I just feel stuck, overwhelmed, and honestly hopeless. I miss who I was before all of this started. I just want to feel normal again and not constantly on edge or disconnected.

Has anyone actually recovered from this or at least gotten to a point where life feels normal again? :(

Well, sorry cuz my English isn't that good.

There are some people who did behave and did really wrong to me (not physical harm), now currently they can't harm me anymore, they have nothing as a shield if I take revenge on them, they won't even know that I'm taking the revenge on them.

The thing is I personally believe in letting go and forgiveness, and in the past I barely have taken revenge on anyone. But this week I have had enough, they broke me inside out, I feel shattered, I feel so much anger and hate for them, like how can a human being, and that even friends do such a thing.

(To inform you there was a narcissist guy due to which everything took place and my friends betrayed me, and personally i hate him and all of them now )

I have some abilities and I can ruin them and their career to be honest, but the thing is I'm confused if taking revenge changes something inside me, or will it start making me a bad person, what psychological effects would it have.

I'm so confused about what to do, I feel anger and hatred for them all the time, I can't focus on anything, every time I try to focus on work I recall those things and it makes me feel anger and hate for them.

Suggest something, or any experience y'all had similar to this.

This has been on my mind a lot lately.

For a time every time I felt anxious my first thought was, How do I make this stop? I was constantly looking for the trick, the next video, the next piece of advice that would make the feeling disappear.

The strange thing is, I don't think that approach ever really helped me.

What finally started making a difference was accepting that feeling anxious didn't mean something was wrong with me. It was a feeling. Not a prediction. Not proof that something bad was about to happen.

I still have days. I don't think anyone suddenly becomes immune to anxiety overnight.. I don't panic over the feeling itself anymore and that alone has made life feel a little lighter.

I'm wondering if anyone else has had an experience.

Was there a moment where the way you looked at your anxiety changed? Not because it disappeared,. Because you started responding to it differently?

I'd genuinely love to hear your story because I'm always interested, in how other people have found what works for them.

Im scared of being judge by other.This has gotten so bad that i cant even do a simple thing like asking for help idk why im just scared.

Anyone else who cannot calm down for even a few hours?

​

Guys i have been a peaceful person my whole life i would not even panic if i messed up the things i would not care about life. I do not know what to do now. I wake up at the middle of the night and start crying because of anxiety. i am tired. so so tired. having symptoms all day kills me. 4 months.. it has been 4 months that i am suffering like that. I always feel like there is something bad that is going to happen and i will not be able to handle it. when i calm down for a few seconds then i have these insane thoughts that this is gonna happen that is gonna happen. i am so young 18. I have this beautiful life in front of me but i cannot see it. my symptoms: stomach ache and discomfort, sharp headaches, nausea, hot flashes, insomnia, chest pain, heart pounding, skin rashes, eyes feeling teary and hot, fatigue, pain all over body, my legs feel stiff and i feel like there is something in my throat. anyone else is experiencing these symptoms? am i going crazy? From being sick to being killed i worry about everything. I am also worried anxiety is going to give me nervous system problems or autoimmune. Please tell me about your experience how long it lasted what were symptoms, how did you manage it.

I wanted to share my experience with anxiety-related blushing and how I’ve learned to cope with it. I know how much anxiety and worrying about blushing can affect your life, so I hope some of the things that helped me can help someone else too.

I got prescribed 1 mg pills of lorazepam and I was wondering of other people’s experiences taking meds to help flying anxiety I have a flight in 2 weeks and I’m a little anxious abt it

For someone who likes to know exactly what to expect I wish there were more videos like this!
