OP do you constantly rush around or rush when you're doing things?

Do you ever just relax??

(Sounds like beginning of an infomercialLOL) 

I've had anxiety too but slowing down (meditating, hot baths, deep breaths) has helped me a lot.

+1. I would say you really need to see a doctor. I've been dealing with anxiety since my teens.. and off and on medication for it. There are a lot of natural methods you can also use.. Do a little research. I used to take a supplement called True Calm (it can be found on Amazon) and it helped when I wasn't on medication.

You may have an underlying emotional issue that you arent acknowledging or even aware of.
Have you experienced a major life event within the last year? I don't think so, most recently my bf moved to VA for a job.
Do you tend to allow yourself to experience sadness/anger/grief without restriction or do you hold things in? I'm pretty sure I hold things in
Do you talk to trustworthy individuals when experiencing distress? Not really


1. Is everything okay in your relationship? (Yes or no will suffice, I wont question further)
2./3. Is there anything particular reason why you prefer to hold things in/keep to it yourself rather than experiencing the emotion/seeking support from friends/family?

You dont have to answer these questions if you dont want to, its just to get you thinking a little more deeply about the possibility of an underlying reason for your symptoms.
Also, like another person said certain foods can worsen your symptoms, definitely stay away from caffeine for a little while.

also take note of certain things you eat that can trigger anxiety attacks. I stay away from coffee and any other beverage or treat that is high in caffeine, i try to make sure i get adequate sleep and stay away from stressful situations as much as possible. I also like valerian root extract ( its used to make Valium!). hope u feel better ]]> Sun, 13 Jan 2013 12:41:31 +0000 http://Forum.BlackHairMedia.com/anxiety-disorder_topic353369_post10070347.html#10070347 <![CDATA[Anxiety Disorder : eanaj5 wrote:I would recommend...]]> http://Forum.BlackHairMedia.com/anxiety-disorder_topic353369_post10070303.html#10070303 Author: beautiful-stranger

In the mean time, start a journal and record the following when you feel a panic attack coming on:
-Time
-Date
-What you feel
-What you think
-A brief summary of something you were physically doing within the last 30 min before you started experiencing symptoms
Try to do this everyday for at least 2 weeks
By doing this you may be able to identify the triggers more easily if you notice a pattern from your notes

Also, deep breathing exercises, yoga, relaxing music, or aroma therapy can also help. Meditation may also be useful for you.

I hope you get the relief you need hun, feel free to PM me if you need to talk about it more, I've been in your shoes Hug

You should buy a small water fountain and put near your bed
Buy candles, tea and pics of nature

Try the holistic approach to solving your anxieties

Know anyone that suffers from it? I realize I've been having anxiety attacks very frequently, there is no trigger I'm not sure how to combat them unfortunately.
