awe, i am sorry i know how you feel though. I have something similar except i get like dizzy from my anxiety attacks. I currently go to a therapist and i am getting so much better, you can t let anxiety take over you because first of all it will really drain you physically and mentally it really sucks. You need to fight the thoughts or else they will just grow like a monster and feed off of your pain believe me i know. You should do at least 30 mins. of exercise each day because that can really help your anxiety as well as your BP, you maybe should see a psychologist to get it under control. You shouldn t worry about anything you are a very healthy person. You are very young, enjoy your birthday make it one day of the year when you don t worry, give yourself a day off. Happy birthday!
See anxiety treatments, at ezy build (below) in section 6. Set yourself a specific time period for worrying about anything, (say; around three quarters of an hour, possibly when you get home, or after your evening meal, but not too close to bedtime) after which, resolve firmly to refuse to even entertain the thought of worrying again on that day: realise and accept that to do otherwise would be counterproductive to your mental health, and enjoyment of life. You will have had your quot;worry timequot; for the day, and can just write down any more thoughts that come to mind, and say to yourself: quot;Well, I ll just have to worry about that tomorrow, won t I?quot;. It is important to deal with a negative internal monologue (self talk), or mental process, such as disturbing thoughts, or images, by the process of (a): recognising it, and (b): challenging it immediately. When you notice something negative, such as: quot;I m never going to get over this!quot; or: quot;Why am I always so pathetic/useless/such a loser?quot; or even: quot;I can t do this/will never get over this!quot;, or a disturbing image, recognise that this is part of the mindset which will hold you back from progress. Having identified and labelled it, visualise a large, red, flashing, quot;STOP!quot; sign, and/or possibly a stern faced person wagging an index finger at you in a negative manner, then say to yourself as forcefully as you can, even aloud in a big voice, if alone: quot;I know this tactic: GO AWAY FOR A WHILE !!!quot; You may want to use either: quot;rusequot;, quot;ployquot;, quot;gamequot;, or quot;trickquot;, instead of quot;tacticquot;. In the case of an image, visualise a large quot;STOPquot; sign, or your preferred version. Some people go so far as to keep a wide rubber band in their pocket, then put it around their wrist, when they catch themselves backsliding, stretch and release it, as a method of reprogramming their mind sooner, but I don t regard it as being strictly necessary. Remember to remove it, afterwards, if you use this method. Try replacing a negative thought with a positive affirmation of your choice, like: quot;I am a unique individual, with my own set of skills, and good pointsquot;, or quot;I may not be perfect, but I m doing the best I can, right nowquot;. Practice one of the relaxation methods in sections 2, 11, 2c, or 2i, daily, and when needed. Alternatively, give the EFT a good tryout, to see if it helps you. There is also a version for use in public places, (if you like, you can claim to have a headache, as you massage/lightly tap your temples, but you would then be restricted to subvocalising: saying it to yourself in your mind). Section 53, and pages 2, 2.q and 2.o at also refer: quot;Even though I sometimes suffer from anxiety, I deeply and completely accept myself.quot; Neurofeedback treatment for anxiety is increasingly becoming available. Herbal remedies, such as valerian, (which is not recommended for use if depression is also present) passionflower, or St.John s wort, are often effective, but the idea is (as with anxiolytic medication) to use them like water wings, or training wheels on a bicycle, providing initial support, and giving time for other treatments, such as therapy, and relaxation techniques, to take effect. Another alternative is professional hypnotherapy, or autosuggestion; (self hypnosis) pages k, i, p, amp; q, in section 3 refer. A variant of EMDR: Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy, which has been used successfully for those people suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, insomnia, and anxiety, is shown in section 42, on page i, at ezy-build. Hypochondriasis: section 54. Panic attacks; section 8. I have found that the 2 - 3 minutes spent using the EMDR markedly reduces distractions to the relaxation process, and is repaid many times over. Reduce salt, replacing with 3 parts quot;no sodiumquot; salt substitute (salt aisle; supermarkets) to 1 part IODISED salt. Moderate exercise, daily; 30 mns.
