Frustrated

[Outdoorsman37]

My anxiety hit about a year ago. I haven't felt the same since. When I do feel a little better things seem to flare up again. I deal with trouble sleeping, waves of anxiety throughout the day, fatigue, upset stomach, hot flashes, chills, shaking, headaches, feeling down at times, twitching, muscle tremors, slight muscle aches, ears ringing, vivid dreams, etc. I've been to my PCP and had a couple mental health assessments. They just say it's stress and anxiety.

Crazy isn’t it? I sometimes cannot believe that what I feel is anxiety because I can’t accept my mind can be this powerful. It’s terrible and scary but you keep pushing through. What do you do to try to cope?

I can't do much if it hits me at night. Throughout the day I usually find something to keep me busy like going for a walk or fishing. I'm just concerned since I've been feeling this way for awhile. Like I mentioned above I never did get an answer except stress. I feel down at times too and I worry about depression. At the last mental health assessment they said they weren't sure and referred me to counseling.

I guess anxiety and stress have a massive effect on the body. The best thing to do is deal with the triggers of anxiety head on. Seek support and advice from your loved ones.

The night anxiety is the worst. Like you said, during the day you can distract yourself and stay busy, but at night its terrible. That's my main problem, for years now. If I only had to deal with it during the day I think I could handle it so much better. Hard to stop thinking about it at night. It has given me sleep anxiety too so I'm always hyper focused on trying to sleep which makes it worse. I think when you are dealing with anxiety, depression kind of goes along with it.

Sometimes it does help to go to counseling and at least find some coping methods. Hope you start feeling better.

I was wondering about depression too. Sometimes I feel down and lack energy. Hope you feel better too.

I hear you. When I get anxious my temper flares up and I tend to do stupid things and gets in away of everything. I hate my self to this day and I want to change or be somebody else entirely.
