Hi everyone. It’s nice to know that we all share something in common, even though that something we share is not so nice.
I’m 24 now but I’ve felt this anxiety building up since I was about 20. About 4 years since my normal anxiety turned into anxiety all the time and for no reason at all. And then came the physical symptoms, dizziness, shaky hands (all the time), digestive issues, tight throat (which affects eating), and migraines. After my brother got sick with his own mental & health issues, I haven’t been able to manage my own anxiety. Then came the panic attacks. I’m going through a particularly stressful time right now as my brother who is undiagnosed, but having schizophrenia like symptoms that are very bad right now.
A year ago I started doing yoga because I thought that maybe it would help. Turns out I really started to enjoy it. Unfortunately though it doesn’t always help and on really bad days I either can’t do it or I try but stop and opt to lay down instead. I refuse to turn to medication because I believe that since there was a time where I wasn’t like this I can somehow reverse this. And yes most days I doubt that but still try. But I think the most beneficial thing for me is to talk to someone about it. Sometimes it’s hard to do it face to face. And sometimes it’s hard to find a listener. But getting these words out is almost like releasing weight from my head that always forms so much pressure.
Hopefully I find this community helpful and I hope it’s helping you as well.
Here’s to our health and a happy life.
