Hi everyone,
First of all I just wanted to say that I am so happy I found this forum, it’s encouraging to see that I’m not alone in my anxiety!
I just felt like coming on here and just sharing my experience with anxiety and hopefully maybe help someone.
I have never been officially diagnosed with anxiety and all my life I was always regarded as timid and shy so I never thought anything of it. However the past two years have really taken a toll on me as my anxiety became full blown. I didn’t take it seriously until my first panic attack at work. At the time I worked in a factory/ warehouse customer service position that required me to be inside an enclosed room with literally a million coworkers, with no windows. My attack was classic, trouble breathing, blurry vision, sweating, shaking, feeling of doom etc I had to leave work after my attack. I had another attack a couple months later.
Fast forward to a year after that, I no longer get panic attacks but I’m always anxious, always worried, worried about literally everything. To make it worse, I changed jobs to a smaller company and coworkers viewed me as weird because of my shaky hands and me not being able to keep up a good conversation.
Fast forward to present day, I’m at a different job again, it’s enclosed so I get major anxiety just being inside, and yet again my shaky hands make coworkers uncomfortable.
I however discovered CBD oil and have been using it for about a month now and I have felt so much better. I am less anxious, I can sleep better, I don’t feel like I’m going to have a panic attack every day I go into work anymore, I can have decent conversations now and I’m just a lot more relaxed!
Before trying CBD I also tried ashwhaghada which didn’t really work for my anxiety but just gave me improved energy and focus. I also try to go to the gym as often as I can despite working 5-7days a week because I find that intense physical activity calms me down.
I have considered therapy and even SSRI’s but never booked an appointment to see a therapist or anything like that because I’m determined to ease my anxiety in a natural way for as long as I can. And if the system I have going on doesn’t work for me in the future I plan on seeing a therapist and getting prescription meds for my anxiety.
I feel like there should be more awareness about anxiety because we all have it but some of us just have more intense symptoms (panic attacks) and feel anxious about literally everything everyday.
No one that experiences an anxiety disorder should ever be made to feel like they are less than other people based on how they ‘appear’ to others socially. I know a lot of people that treat differently and have said horrible things to me not know that I act the way they see me act because I’m just overly anxious.
I try to take things one day at a time, I try to sleep well, eat healthy, exercise and just do good things for my body and that has been making a huge difference on my anxiety so far.
I hope we all find our own little ways to cope everyday! (If you read my post this far thanks!!)
