Anxious Constantly :(

[Aethestic]

hi! Thank you for viewing my thread!

I am constantly nervous. I have been for as long as I can remember. I’m 13 currently and even though I am just a teenager, my anxiety is the same as an adults. I have been to several therapist and I’ve tried taking medicine, but nothing is really working. I am constantly anxious, even when nothing is going on to Ben anxious/nervous about, I still am. Does anyone have any tips about how to stop this feeling or at least ease it some? What should I do? See another therapist or a doctor? My therapist I saw last even almost refferred me to a hospital, but he stopped seeing her. Thanks!

Hey, Im 25 and I suffer the same. I literally have anxiety all the time it sucks really bad, today wasn't so good for me, mine so bad I started crying. What helped me was to look up positive affirmations, I actually did research for the anxiety that best fit me which DEF feels like it's GAD. I haven't been diagnosed due to me not wanting to rely on medicines, however, there are these great gummies at GNC called stress good bye or something like that. They work wonders. Or try finding a stress reliever like playdough or that slime stuff

Well, since i have been struggling for the past 9 years with anxiety and panick attacks aswell, i can give you the tips that helped me out the most. Sorry if it gets too long or weird.
First of all, you have to quit consuming sugar, at least at massive amounts that you find it cakes, candy, drinks and you name it, do not replace it for "diet" or "light" versions with additives like aspartam and whatsover.
Sugar is proinflammatory, which also can cause anxiety, plus lots of other bad things. Sugar also reduces BDNF whish is your brains growth hormone. Stop drinking coffee, cola, and pretty much anything that is considered "bad".
Try to see, if certain foods trigger anxiety, and see if some give you releif from it ( like green tea, drink in moderation )
Try to avoid processed foods at all time, especially those e numbers or anything your your mothers mother did not eat while growing up. You get what i am saying? All the additives, colourings and stuff.
Get your vitamin d3 levels checked and b12. While you are at your doctor, let him/her check if you are gluten intolerant ( you find this in bread and well, just google it ). If he or she refuses to do the checks, go google the symptoms, and freaking act like you have them, so he needs to get you checked.
You might be histamine intolerant, dunno how to check for that, but try to buy himalayan salt, put a little bit on your tongue, and see if it feels like your anxiety symptoms get reduced. If not, still not bad, to get a little bit of salt, and glass of water in the morning with half a squeezed lemon in it. Trust me, this somehow works like a charm for some.
If you watch porn, quit it ( google why this is really bad for you ), if you game a lot, quit it ( or reduce it by a lot ), if you are addicted to facebook and bullsht like that, quit it, or at least, reduce it by a lot, if you feel like you are not addicted to any of those, but can't stay without it, then you are addicted .

Now comes the fun part, get some daily routine in your life, something that you can do, every single day, to work on your confidence, and health at the same time.
Start your day, with saying, I'm Happy, I'm Healthy and I Feel Terrific ( Google neuro linguistic programming ) !
Every single day, try to sport. And read a book for at least 1 hour.
I don't know your health situation, but if you can, try to jog every single day. Don't forget to have a proper start program, or else you might screw your foot like me for a few months.. After the jogging, try to take a shower, and finish the shower with cold water, does not need to be icecold, as long as it feels cold, and you feel like clenching ( or how you call it ), get the cold water everywhere, so don't just sleep under the water, spray that thing!
Btw, research shows, that your brain "grows" from sports ( https://www.theguardian.com/science/2010/jan/18/running-brain-memory-cell-growth )
If you are lazy, and dont feel like doing all this in the morning, well, then do not complain about anxiety, because, if you really want to beat anxiety, you gotta pretty much do, anything for it.
Just go to bed 30 minutes earlier every day, and wake up 30 minutes earlier.
It is btw never bad to have a good proper 7/8 hours sleep rithm.
So try to sleep 7 or 8 hours every day.
Try to eat more vegetables, and try to eat them raw, in a salad, like spinache, brocolli, paprika, tomato, onion, garlic, lettuce, carrots. Get this into a salad if possible, ad some olive oil and a little bit of vinegar and some fetta chease if possible, eat it without bread, enjoy the feeling of a washed stomache.
If you are not alergic to nuts, eat some nuts on a weekly base if you can afford it.
( I personally eat 2 brasil nuts, 3 pecan, 3 wallnuts, 5 almonds, 4 hazel, 4 macademian, tablespoon of gojji berries, tablespoon of pumkin seed, some sometimes tablespoon of chia seed or flax seed i do however try to eat the seeds daily aswell.
Flax seeds, that are rich of omega 3, are good for you either way, so never bad to eat them. Good for your guts, and anything that is good for your guts, is good for your brain.)
Try to add advocados and good fats to your diet, they are important for your hormone balance. Forget about what the internet says, do not consume much chocolate, and copper rich foods ( altough it's present by a lot in nuts and legumes and advocados ).
Vitamin b6/D/Zinc/Magnesium can help with anxiety, but use in moderation. Best to get help from your doctor with it. Especially speaking about the vitamin d and Magnesium.
You can try a good vitamin b complex, but they usually contain like 10 times the daily dose. I personally use davitamon vitamin b complex, it is 2 times the recommended daily dose, so i use it once every 2 days.
Btw some vitamins are water soluable, and some are fat, so i always eat some water, and eat some fatty foods, when taking my pills.

LAST BUT NOT LEAST.
Google this ... probiotic anxiety ncbi
Try to buy kefir, or if you have parents that are willing to help you, let them buy or make kefir for you ( milk kefir ), and drink a glass before sleeping.
Numerous studies show the importance of proper bacteria in your gut, for soo many different processe.
l rhamnosus
L. helveticus
B. longum
L. kefiranofaciens
Lactobacillus Reuteri
Bifidobacterium breve
Lactobacillus casei
Lactobacillus hilgardii
And the list goes on, are all proven to reduce anxiety like behaviour in mice, and have many other health benefits.
Here is an great article you can, from time to time review if you want. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4200314/
Oh yeah, you also might have candida overgrow, so, kefir might help against that aswell.
There are many other links that i have you could read, but i do not know if you are interested.

I really hope i could help you, or anyone else, with this info, there is so much you can study about anxiety and panick disorders on google, and you can try and see what works best for you.. ( pills if you ask me, are not a cure ).
Start with a good diet, drink plenty of water, go sport ( like jogging ), meditate mindfulness, and oh yeah, each time you feel like anxiety is building up, apply the 5 second rule of Mel Ribbons!
My last tip to any of you is. You have to control your thoughts, fears and pretty much any other emotion at all times.
Fear can only grow, as much as you allow it to grow, so the more you practice controlling your emotions and thoughts, the better you will get at it.
It is really simple, if you think about dying, fantazise about dying, you will feel like dying!
If you think about positive things, fantazise about nice things, you will ( might ) feel nice things
This is harder than you think, but once you get the hang of it, it is easy after all to master.

P.s. i said that my last comment will be my last tip, but my last tip is, buy or download the book, law of attraction, go youtube and watch videos about the law of attraction, watch some videos of Les Brown talking about it.
There are many tips there, that will help you troughout your entire life, and my tip ( stolen from LOA is ), get a goal, write it down, and accomplish it.
This does not mean that you will be anxiety free within a day, but if you do try your best, anything is possible!

Don't forget, you can only fail, if you give up. The process of getting better, is just like any other process, comparable to playing a video game. The only way to not finishing it, is by giving up. And no matter how many times you fail to get to the next round, as long as you keep trying, you will succeed.

Hope i could help.

Btw: I am a person that quit alcohol, smoking, weed, coffee, black tea, sugar and porn ( well sort of ).
Quitting alcohol was easy. Cigarettes not so hard either ( smoked for 13 years 2 packs a day ).
Quiting caffeine was a pain in the ass.
Quitting sugar, was soo weird, i had withdrawn syptoms, and appareantly sugar is more addictice than cocain.
Quitting porn is the hardest ( i know you are 13, and might not watch it, but it's 2018 too many kids, do, and ruin there lifes ).
If anyone is interested, read about what it does to your personality, your mind, your dopamin levels, your confidence, your motivation to do anything, to you in general!

I know how you feel I've been dealing with chronic anxiety for about five years now it's is sometimes really bad and other times it affects me but not to where I go Into a panic. I've seen a few therapists but like you said it doesn't seem to help they all tell me the same thing I have to help myself. Which I feel like telling them what am I paying you for then if I have to help myself anyway? Meds seem to cause more problems as well the best thing to do is when you feel scared or overwhelmed let the anxiety flow through you what I mean is don't panic just let the feeling pass and don't try to fight the anxiety. It sounds scary but it can work just tell yourself you will calm down in time. Believe me it's hard to think that way sometimes when the fear is so intense but if you try your best it can help.
