Anxiety getting worse

I’ve been Feeling really anxious since Friday Night, to the point where I spent Saturday and Sunday night sobbing and feeling like I was going to be sick at first I thought it was about my dentist app which happened yesterday but the feeling hasn’t gone away. I’m headachy, I’m stressing over everything. I see my psychologist next Friday and I see my doctor tomorrow, I’m hoping to discus wether I could have my Medications Adjusted

I'm so sorry to hear you are going through this struggle, it really is like our own war zone, going to battle every single day trying not to let it beat us...it just gets so overwhelming sometimes, and really does become unbearable, just know you are most definitely not alone in what you are going through, not that knowing that makes it any better or takes it away at all, but i feel it brings even the slightest sense of comfort knowing others in the world are experiencing the same/similar things....your anxiety sounds debilitating, i can relate, anxiety creeping up and hitting like a tonne of bricks for no good reason...it's just awful! Us as human beings feel the need to make sense of everything, and for the anxiety to happen without any reason is so confusing to us and it hits so much harder when there is no reason behind it i find...i hope seeing your doctor helps by adjusting your meds, that would be great if that's all that is needed to help you...if not i hope seeing your psychologist next Friday will give you some helpful tools and strategies to get you through this painful time...let me and all of us know how things go with your doctor and psychologist, i have my fingers crossed for you that this all works out for the better...hang in there you warrior! Keep fighting as best as you can, look forward to hearing from you 🙂

Hi hun, I’m super new here and I’m reading through everything everyone’s posted on here. The way you are feeling right now is something I also feel sometimes. It feels like you suffocating under your own hopelessness and you sink into this anxious depth of water, it feels like your drowning in the waves of anxiety. Show your emotions, cry them out, scream, laugh, dance, run or do whatever you can to shake them off, I find sometimes sleeping on it after eating a full meal can help but if u can’t eat food right then and there, a warm mug of tea or hot chocolate whilst listening to ambient rain music is just beautiful to help the soul heal and calm the anxiety tremors . 

Let me know how u go xox 

 

Thanks for your lovely message and advice, i really appreciate it more than words can say 🙂 that is actually something i struggle with-showing my emotions, i really will work harder on trying not to hold it all in and pretend that i'm ok when i'm not....i love your advice and will have to give it a go, i think crying them out is more my style, as it is becomes so overwhelming and i get super emotional when it's just too much...I'm so sorry you also go through the same struggle from time to time, you get it...it is just awful.....i will try your suggestion of a hot chocolate whilst listening to ambient rain music, i think that will help sooth the nerves a bit 🙂 i love thunderstorms, they always bring me joy and peace, so i think your suggestion may just work! xoxo thank you so so so much again for your advice, i will try these out and let you know how i go 🙂 xoxo
