Anyone else?

[Grace360]

Anyone else, of course when experiencing anxiety, their chest feel heavy? Also thst heaviness translates into feeling like you can't breathe which leads to hyperventilation? I'm feeling that now. I bought a roller ball of essential oil for anxiety but it came in a baggie and it was like spilled all over the place and like I don't wanna put it on my skin now. I wished it had came the right way so I could actually use it to calm myself.

What you describe is normal for anxiety. Have you tried relaxation meditation? It’s a great helper, however, it takes diligent practice for it to be effective.

I have one but I'm afraid to take it lately. I hate this anxiety.

You hate your anxiety! Now hate is born of fear. And fear is anxiety. No fear no anxiety. Don't hate it. It is telling you something about your life, embrace it, yes even welcome it, but stop fearing 'IT'. You are in the old fear/anxiety/symptoms/fear spiral. Talk to it, ask it what it has to say to you about the way you live, your relationships and your life in general. As in physics there is no cause without an effect. And no effect without a cause. Fighting, struggling with 'IT' is counter productive. It's a fight you can newer win.

I think you misread it, MATD is asking about mediTation.

Why are you afraid to take your medication. When you took it before, did it cause any bad reaction?

She has a bad habit of taking the medication sporadically (due to fear/anxiety about taking medication) rather than consistently, which definitely doesn't help. It may even make things worse.

Yes, skipping doses could result in withdrawal symptoms, which are then inflated by anxiety.
