Anxiety!!!?
Basically, I use to have anxiety and like a month ago I had an attack. I didn’t know it would be anxiety but sure enough i went to the doctor she said I have it. She told me these 2 techinques ( counting to 10, visualize a place) but it doesn’t help. Now I think its not bad, its stupid, etc. but when i get it, it takes over me. I just want to get it over with, so I could go to camp and not to panic always.

Hey buddy. There are a few things you can do to relieve the symptoms of stress and anxiety and reduce its affects on your body and immune system. …..to better deal with the daily helping of dramas we are all exposed to ♥
Eat more foods rich in magnesium ~ magnesium is known as the antistress mineral and will help you deal with stressy situations and just the daily grind of life better.
foods rich in magnesium are ~ leafy and green vegies, nuts and seeds, wholegrain cereals and breads and cold water fishes such as tuna, sardines, salmon and whiting……….. the EFA’s (essential fatty acids) in the cold water fishes do a brilliant job for me for equalising my moods and stress levels, i try to eat some description of fish each day….. but each person is different and you need to find your own level.
Magnesium is needed in the body for healthy nerve and muscle functioning and of course for heart health. Foods rich in magnesium will also aide in eliminating constipation by increasing the production of hydrochloric acid in the tummy and thus assisting in digestion………… magnesium will also cure an acid tummy.
A deficiency in vitamin B12 will produce symptoms such as chest pains and heart palpitations, headaches and migraines, numbness and tingling and prickling sensations in the outer extremities, dizzy spells, fainting and loss of balance, excessive sweating, excessive urination and dry mouth, nausea and vomiting, fatigue and exhaustion, stress and depression, insomnia and constipation, irritability and moodiness and an inability to think clearly ….Quite scary actually if you don’t realise the vitamin factor.
If you are lactose intolerant or vegetarian then it is really important that you supplement your diet with a multi B complex tablet on a daily basis.
Take a multi B complex supplement on a daily basis. The B complex of vitamins is needed to support a healthy nervous, immune and digestive system and will help you enormously in dealing with stress.
They are a water soluble complex and as such our bodies can neither store or produce them, therefore we need to ingest them on a daily basis or suffer the side affects.
When we are placed under added stress such as work responsibilities, relationship dramas, new house, sickness, school studies the first group of vitamins to be used up will be the B complex and in these situations we need to adjust our intake accordingly…… simply take another B complex tablet when you are stressed, as they are water soluble any excess that your body doesn’t need will simply be excreted in your urine….. the B complex relies on calcium and vitamin D to be effectively assimilated so if you aren’t getting enough calcium and vitamin D naturally take a calcium supplement containing vitamin D3.
Get a supplement that includes all the B’s ie ~ B1, B2, B3, B5, B6 and B12 as they all work synergistically (as a group)…. don’t buy any of the B complex of vitamins individually, but rather as a whole complex of vitamins unless told to do so by a nutritionally oriented physician or naturopath.
Drink loads of fresh filtered water too as the happiest and healthiest body will always be the most hydrated one.
Water is imperative to life. Without water your body will have a terrible time breathing, digesting food, transporting nutrients, lubricating your joint sockets etc.etc.etc.etc……… nothing substitutes for water. your body needs at least 2 – 3 litres of water daily to function efficiently.
also, try to cut back on drinks such as coffee, tea, alcohol, sodas and soft drinks (if you drink any of them) which will all do great job of dehydrating you and of robbing you of your precious B complex of vitamins… . ie: just 1 can of soda or soft drink will make your body peesh out up to 12 cups of water !!! 1 cup of coffee will make your body peesh out about 2 cups of water ……….. read the book by F. Batmanghelidj, M.D…. "Your body’s many cries for water"…… an astounding and scary and very true read.
Other things that could be robbing you of your precious B complex of vitamins are :- eating too much protein, most otc cold medicines actually, alcohol, eating too much tinned food, antiobiotics ,antidepressants, penicillin, prednisone and aspirin, laxatives and diuretics, the oral contraceptive and eoestrogen supplementation .
Quite a handfull of information here …….. sorry it’s a bit long winded but you need to know all this.
Get out in the fresh air and sunshine (vitamin D) and exercise as this will naturally raise the levels of serotonin in your brain and just make you feel fine ……….. hey, even if its a walk in the park, chasing your mates around the shopping centre or even jumping in puddles when it rains, so long as it puts a smile on your dial buddy ………. works for me ♥
I sincerely wish you the best of health & vitality buddy and hope that you at least drink more water if you aren’t already doing that♥♥♥
CHEERS
You need to see a psychiatrist and a therapist. Your GP is not trained to deal with these kinds of illnesses (though she should have offered you a referral). You may be given medication as well as CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy).
Trust me, its caused from stress stop stressing stop thinking all the time and be stress free for a couple of days and it will go away
I have anxiety and I have to take meds for it, it helps a bunch!
Diets that are not providing the body with minimum quantity of essential nutrients will also elevate anxiety and stress. Deficiency in magnesium, calcium, and vitamin B-12 all contributes to anxiety and stress.
Performance anxiety is associated to some situations like job interviews, major examinations, or any kind of activity where results are very important and confidence is lacking. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) occurs when the individual goes through a personal (assault, near death experience) or general trauma (like war or some natural disaster).
In order to lower anxiety and stress it is first important to identify the exact source that is contributing to their development. However, this is not so easy because in most cases there is no identifiable cause. A good way is to quiz yourself on your daily habits in the following manner.
