Anxiety! What to do??? I hope this helps....

[torlando711]

Hi, I have suffered on and off with anxiety and depression for a little over 12 years now. Been on Busbar, Paxil, 5HTP, tons of vitamins, exercise and now presently on zoloft. I am 38 years old and this illness has taken some precious days away from me. A few things I have known to work and I hope this helps all of you....Have faith in your higher power (I am christian so I pray to God and my Saint Therese and the Blessed Mother daily), exercise exercise exercise. I sometimes feel like I am going to have a heart attack and go for a run to prove myself wrong, it works...deep breaths of fresh air...go for walks around the block. Push yourself, if your like me and have gotten numerous tests and all came back good...PUSH! PUSH! PUSH! take one day at a time and know there is so much to live for, the world is a beautiful place. Anxiety can play games with your mind and the mind is a very powerful part of us. Recently, I have had severe anxiety, I am on the east coast so the warmth of the sun seems to be limited this time of year. We all need someone in our life that understands us and have experienced anxiety and panic, it can be so frightening and mimics so many illnesses that can drive us crazy...talking to someone who knows this makes is much easier. You know most if not all of here on this forum are very healthy people, now we have to push through our inner self and start feeling it! :)

If you are interested in Saint Therese and her blessing from heaven go to www.littleflower.org...magical things can happen, you will see.

Life-Do the right thing, get rid of anything not useful, beautiful, or joyful, however good or bad a situation is, it will change, no matter you feel, get dressed up and show up, God heals everything, lastly you inner most is happy sooooo be happy. Easier said then done but keep pushing. :)

Very nice, I try to post helpful supportive stuff too!! I  believe that accepting what is is strong. Also, stay and wait and all things pass. Each moment is virgin, fresh and new and does not have to be influenced by the past or future, by creating now's of peace you can have blocks of happiness and contentment. Good luck to us all on this journey

God will NEVER give us anything more that we can't handle!

I am a Christian too, and I suffer from anxiety. I always catch myself when I'm feeling my lowest low, just reaching out to God! Praying to him, and surrounding myself with my loving family. Exercise is great too! Really does a lot to your brain and your body! That actually make your confidence go up as well. =)

I like this post a lot. =) PUSH PUSH PUSH!!!

Live in the moment! Praise our God.
