weather anxieties

[XmasCarol52]

I think that sometime the weather can cause anxieties,for me sometimes if i know there is a storm coming i get not only anxious but major panic attacks,These attacks can last for days.Thunderstorms always seem to do a job on me so what i do is lay down put the cover over my face so I don't have to see the lightening ,If the wind is bad to i get really anxious.I wonder if there is a phobia and what it is called if you have weather anxieties...

I love the storms but, I hate the bright sun and heat. The heat cause severe panic attacks and I just don't got out in it. I read somewhere that I might be suffering from SAD seasonal affected disorder "I think it's called"? Anyways... it s most common in the colder months but, people with bipolar disorder it's opposite. I love the cold and hate the heat. Lord a mighty ,I hate the heat.

I can't stand the heat either especially when it is humid it just makes it a lot worse when it is humid,makes it hard to cope with.Did you know that the heat can give u technicle problems oh yes it can slow you computer down.If I am outside when it is humid I just cannot stay out there for long. I have to drink like a fish too.

Sunlight affects my eyes, even if it isn't that bright. I have to wear dark glasses or the sun makes my eyes water. Then my nose runs. It's the same if it's windy too, my nose and eyes water buckets. I really do like adverse weather conditions. It is interesting to watch and see Mother Nature doing her thing. The only sad thing is that some people lose their lives in adverse weather.

Maybe that is what causes some people to be anxious about the weather. The fact that it can be dangerous and it is out of our control.

Hi with your nose running and your eyes watering could it be allergies?I have them so bad today they are watering again ,maybe you could try a sinus med.The tree pollen is really bad and they say keep your windows closed to keep the pollen out that is balona ,because i keep my windows shut yet the pollen still bothers my eyes.Oh i would totally freak out if there was a tornado coming.I have no place to go no cellars here.Guess I would just have to find a way to get into my tub that is what they say you are suppose to do a few times they have said a chance of a tornado,so if you ever see someone flying by your house that would be me lol

It could be because of allergies, I'm not sure. I never thought of that. It seemed like it was dry eyes as it happens when I am in town or walking the dogs in a field. It is only when I go out as well.

I think I will monitor it though. If I check the pollen count before I leave the house it may give me an idea if I am suffering from hay fever. It happens all year round though. More so in the winter as the cold and wind makes my eyes and nose run like there's no tomorrow!

We don't have tornado's here in the UK, at least if we do they are extremely rare. I've often watched documentaries on YouTube about the adverse weather you get in the States and I really feel for you all out there. If you needed, do you have a cupboard that you could get into that could give you a bit of safety?

I cannot say for sure but maybe you have allergies to grass,I have allergies to dust,grass,ragweed,tree pollen and of course smoke,so it bothers me all year long and for me keeping my windows shut doesn't seem to matter if the pollen is in the air it is going to get inside somehow whether u have the windows shut or not..I also believe that sometimes my bad allergies especially if they get in my throat mucus and all makes my anxieties much worse then i get a very bad panic attack because it feels like it is closing up my throat,even if I do drink something it gets worse,no fun that is for sure.one year i had bronchitis like four times,and sinus infections to,i don t know how this could happen but my allergy doctor told me i maybe losing my sinuses i dont get how that can be,they want me to take a cat scan i cannot do that because it is closed in,why can't things in life be so easy for us why must we have to suffer through everything???

I have very bad allergies too. Right now I'm dealing with the mucus in the throat and it's freaking me out. Which makes my shoulders and neck extremely tense. So I'm trying to figure this out. How to chill so I can clear my throat. Ugh!

 

[XmasCarol52]

me to my eyes feel so dry but watery like on the inside of them i took about 12 allergy pills already today.I hate it when the mucus gets caught in your throat because it feels like u r going to gag to death,Do u get that feeling too.I take PE sinus pills they actually have helped me with my mucus in the throat.Just a thought,i hope u feel better.Unfortunately with me my allergies wont clear up without any medication

I started taking Tylenol severe sinus... it really helped to clear out the mucus- I was taking Robitussin, Claritin and Flonas! I still use the Flonase and the Tylenol now and have felt relief. I too had the gag feeling.... which made the cough worse. Circle which was not ending.

That gagging feeling is so awful because when u cough you feel like there is just no air coming inside then i start to choke half of the time it upsets my stomach then something more like mucus comes up.i have this thing which happens about once a month i get this very strange smell i feel like is inside of me then i get just of enough of a cough to gag i do get it out but it feels like i am coughing something from the middle of my stomach more like chests then after a few hours it goes away until the next time it hit and i never know when that will happen.It scares me i don't want to be sitting in the waiting room gagging you have to get it up but i don't know what causes it i told my doctor about it but she was so clueless.

I get it. I'll be fine one minute then my shoulder and neck tense up and the coughing begins. Anxiety sucks. I hope you find out soon the cause.

 

[XmasCarol52]

I do hope that you feel better.You got that right but when you also have depression and bipolar too it makes it worse>Now do you have agoraphobia too? I do and it makes it so hard for me to go out,this Thursday I have to go and see my shrink and this will be the first time i have to go on the van oh the woman will help me but i think it i s so stupid to put steps in a van especially when it comes to the seniors,pray i dont fall.

That is something. I started taking it and a calm seem to happen... thank you for that information.

 

[XmasCarol52]

Thank you for the info ,I am kind of reluctant to take Tylenol because of the poisoned tampered bottles from years ago.

 

[Concernedgal]

No problem guys. I'm always searching for safer ways to treat my anxiety. I'm going try it and I will let you guys know how it worked.
