Hi there Matt

Am sorry to hear that things are still very bad for you.  I hope this makes you feel slightly better, but you are not on your own with this shaking feeling.  I had a doc’s appointment earlier this week;  my mind was racing and I even struggled to answer some of his more basic questions.  On top of that, yes, I was shaking as well.  Whether anxious, nervous or whatever, I don’t know – but I think it was definitely some kind of anxiety pressure/stress that I was having.

I do get those kinds of feelings from time to time also.  I also know about the bursting into tears feeling – if only.  I want to, but I just can’t.  It feels like I’ve got a dam of them ready to launch, but still they stay locked up.  Is that how you’re feeling also?

I’m guessing that today is the day you are seeing your psych?  I sure hope you come away from that appointment with some kind of benefit or positive;  even if only a small piece of goodness, that’d be much better than not.

Please keep fighting.

Neil

Hi, have you tried meditation?  When l get anxious l know it's hard to calm the mind. It's like a monkey jumping from one tree to another, but l have found meditation really helped me. There are heaps of guided meditations on Youtube. Type in 'guided meditation' and see what catches your eye and give it a try. Can l suggest a short 5-10 minute one first as there is less chance of you stopping the meditation and pulling out the 'I can't do this', which l did! 

You have had so many responses from Beyondblue supporters. We all want you to be happy and healthy. Hang in there.
