Anxiety issue

[BballJ]

Hi all,

I took abit of convincing myself to join the forums and write in here but just wanted some advice.

in the past two weeks, I have had anxiety spiralling out of control, I am unable to concentrate at work or at home, I continually think of the worst case scenario in anything, I wake up in the middle of the night having panic attacks (heart racing, in shaking, heavy breathing) I haven't slept more than 4 hours each night and during the day I am in a constant stressed state that by 2 pm I am tired as can be, I hate being alone, if I'm driving I feel the need to call someone just so I can get my mind off my anxiety and contanst worry feelings. I have lost my appetite, eating maybe one meal a day simply because I cannot eat. I have tried natural over the counter medicine to try and alleviate the anxiety and calm me down but they don't work.... Does this sound like GAD and should I see a doctor about medication?

thank you in advance for your replies.

Jay

Hi Paul,

As always, thank you for your kind words, they always mean a lot 🙂

Hi Ava,

I didn't mean to make you teary, but people deserve to know when they are good people and doing good things for others especially if they don't feel that way inside. You're a great person as I've said before, your family is very lucky to have you. I'll be honest, everyday I try and be the best gentleman I can be, to whoever I cross in my path, (mostly it involves just being kind to any and all people, something simple as letting people walk through doors first and holding it for them etc basic stuff) however a big part of being a gentleman on a personal level is accepting your flaws and trying to become the best version of yourself you possibly can so you can in turn project that positivity, in your relationships, friendships, work place etc. I know it may sound silly but I just want people to think of me as a kind down to earth person who helped any and everyone who asked for help and made people happy 🙂

Hugs, Jay

Hi Jay,

I have no doubt that you do behaviour exactly as you say. I try to do the same. I miss the boat with P's family somehow though. I suspect that going through tough times can make you harder or more compassionate as you are. You are always very kind to me and it is very much appreciated.

Hugs, xx

Hi Ava,

I don't think you can connect with everybody and it sucks you missed the boat with P's family, I hurts to hear you think that and that it maybe happened too... In my opinion, they are missing out.... like i've said before you seem to have a great family of your own who care a whole lot about you and that's the important point.

How was your weekend anyway? P and yourself get up to much?

Hugs, Jay

Hi Jay

P's anxiety go the better of him on Sat, which was tough. Better on Sunday tho.

How are you going?

Hugs, xx

Hi Ava,

Hmm that's no good about P, at least the Sunday was better, that's always a positive that he came out of it pretty quickly.

I am ok, suffering still from this silly hayfever, really making my asthma flare up. Just need to keep managing it. It was so hot today but was a struggle with work.

Are you feeling any better from the infusion you had?

Hugs, Jay

Hi Jay,

It is sweet of you to ask about me but this thread is really supposed to be about you.

The storm that came through was nasty and sent all asthmatics in side or with many to hospital. Take very great care of you.

Hugs, xx

Hi Ava,

Please, this thread has helped me immensely but it also showed me more into you and others as well, so of course I care about how things are going with you. I hope it has gone well.

Yeah when I posted the message, I didn't realise the severity of what was happening, but I copped the thunderstorm asthma. I was outside exercising when it kicked in so that's why it got me. Was ok after I had my preventer and relaxed. Sad about the poor people who passed away from it but. Not good to hear at all.

Much colder this week which I prefer personally 🙂

Hugs, Jay

Dear Jay,

I am so very pleased that you are okay after the asthma storm. Umm me too cooler weather is best. My disease has wiped out my internal thermostat so my temperature is always low and Inever get a temperature, but I can be bright read and dripping like I've run a marathon, arn't bodies amazing!

P is out walking to realise his tension, its good for him.

Did you manage to get another referral from your doctor? It would be sad not to continue all the good work you are doing.

Hugs, x

Hi Ava,

That's not good to hear regarding your internal temperature is gone, would make it very difficult. Do you find you get colds and flu's very easy?

I'm starting to walk with my wife actually, one for fitness and to clear my mind but to spend more time with her, we had a big fight last week so I had to go back and get my referral for the psych... got a fair bit of stuff to sort out still to really try and get our relationship back on track. We went out for a nice dinner tonight which was good 🙂

Hugs, Jay

Hi Jay,

Yes I get any bug around me, no immune system you see.

You are such a champion I admire your dedication to your relationship. I hope your wife understands the work you are putting in after all you didn't ask for this particular anxiety profile.

Good luck with the psych.
