Hello Everyone

[Rosyrain]

I have been dealing with the effects of anxiety most of my life and I am glad I found a place where I can talk about it without shame or being embarrassed. I really did not understand that I had anxiety until around the age of 25. When I get so stressed out and scared sometimes that it is like I freeze and get super shaky. I look forward to learning new ways of dealing with this because I do not want to go on medications.

Welcome glad you found us I can certainly relate to having the shakes,sometimes they get so bad I feel like I want to jump out my window but not to worry I am only about three ft off the ground,I learned a little trick that may help you some with the shakiness I got this from when had that very had fall,tighten up your fists as hard as u can so that the muscles in your arms are tight to hold your breath for about 15 seconds,then slowly release the tightness it helps some with the shakes matter of fact I did this only last night especially when it affects my legs,just make sure your entire body is tightened up when u release or go to relax yourself this should help some with the shakiness and anxieties,with me i need my meds,but then again have about five mental illnesses to.You can talk about anything here,the people i have talked to have been so very nice Or try visual therapy think of something that you really like now with me it would be the beach walking through the sand and water or just sitting down watching the waves roll in or the boats,i love boats and try tp picture yourself how happy that situation made you more times then not that will help with the anxieties too however when it develops into a full blown panic attack then nothing seems to help me matter of fact I cannot even sleep when that happens

Hello Rosyrain, I also found out later in my life I had anxiety and depression. There is a lot of information you will find helpful here, at least I know I have.
