For People Who Got Over Anxiety, I Have a Question For You

For People Who Got Over Anxiety, I Have a Question For You

I'm wondering what worked for you guys? and I'm not talking about people who took medication. Other than medication how did you guys got over your anxiety symptoms.

- i seem to be suffering from derealization (almost everyday/stomach problems/headaches & neck strains/and i tend to worry a lot about me dying or having this serious disease/i sometimes get this feeling that im going crazy too/but it has been 6 months that i havent had a panic attack, overall i think i had 3 panic attacks in 2 years but my anxiety symptoms are not getting any better). Medication is not an option for me because i think there are natural ways to deal with anxiety.

im glad you got over your anxiety..i dont really know what is causing my anxiety..i wake up one day and im feeling good and another i wake up feeling like im in a dream..and on those days that im feeling not so good i can't think of what has caused this..like i try to think what happened today that im getting these symptoms and i cant think of anythin..sometimes when im having a bad day im anxiety free but some day when im having a good day i get the symptoms.. anyways im glad you guys got over ur anxiety and for people who are still suffering i hope you guys feel better soon..i know my anxiety will end one day and just thinking about this makes me get a relief...

i am starting to get over my anxiety,
my anxiety was that i felt like i couldnt breate getting light headead dizzy, felt like i had pains.
but one day it got really bad and i felt like i was really going to die.
because even tho i was getting anxiety it wouldnt stop me from doing things.
i just would worry alot and think about it in my head. becaause i am to embarresd.
but one time i went to the beach with my friend and girl friend (my GIRLFRIEND DOESNT EVEN NO I HAVE ANXEITY) and we where going to dive. (SPEARFISH) now that waves where picking up and the current was getting really strong. so my friend went in 1st and he was getting pounded by waves. and he was telling me hurry up. butt my heart was just beating so fast and i was scared that i was gonna drown. so i told him no im not going in. so i took off all of my gear and sat on the sand. he swam back to shore and said dude whats wrong? i said man idk im scarred. hes like why are u scared? i told him about my anxiety (he was the only person i told besides my parents) and he said well bro i had this to b4 but i got over it. so he was telling me its all in my head. just go out and do it. BUT TRY NOT TO PANIC. he said just go in the water waste deep and relax and that the water would slow down my heart beats.(I LIVE IN HAWAII) and it did. so he was talking to me about it. and after about 15 mins he looked at me and told me ready? i said no. he said well you have to face and and realize that its all in your head. you cant live like this forever. so i said okay. so we stared to swim out and at 1st i was scaraded but in my mind i was like no way im going to live like this for ever!! so i started calming down and we got to maybe about 20 feet deep. and we was hanging on my floater resting saying okay ready to dive? how do u feel.
i said wow man thanks i feel so mutch better. and i wasnt scared any more...
and i felt like i was gonna die and. but i told my self i am not ready to die yet im to young
so i started to spearfish and i finished the day with catch 4 parrot fishes.
so ever since then i havnt gotten any anxiety because i would tell my self ahhh its just all in my head.
and what do you no... it is.
so ive felt really good..
so i think you just have to overcome the fear.
if you think your gonna passout and scared when u go out.
i say get a friend that is really supportive and go out. you may feel scared and think you have alot of problems but you dont. its all in your head.
i should know because i went to the docters alot of times and they sasid that nothing was wrong with me and they did all kinds of test.
so yah hope that all you guys learn thats its all in your head.
because 1 day when you guys get over it, your going to look back and be like god... that was all in my head why was i so scared?
and then now u are aniety free and can help others get threw it because you now how it is.

I feel exactly like you. I suffer from derealization, weird feelings and tiredness. I take meds, low doses but it doesn't help much. I am reading some books about the self help, practicing deep breathing exercise and will be going to therapy soon. Unfortunately, all the things I do don't help much. Its like a habit you cannot break. Just like you, I would like to find out how to controll it. Congrats to bip!
