My Anxiety is killing me and I need help
    #12989330 -

Thanks in advance to whoever reads this.
I need some help. It started off as just Social Anxiety. Afraid of what people think. It was a strange feeling. I really didn't give a fuck what people thought at all, but something inside me did. Like something attached to me, or maybe it was my sub-conscious. Then as the Social Anxiety started to get better, I was anxious about everything else. Its very strange. The only friends ive told have been shocked, saying I didn't seem like that kind of person at all. And I was sure it was getting better...I mean my hands weren't shaking at all anymore. What did I have to worry about? Do I even have anxiety? Did I ever have anxiety? I now have anxiety about my anxiety.

Being the anxious person I am, I look up everything. So after researching everything I came to the conclusion that I had low dopamine levels. My grandpa has Restless Leg Syndrome and my grandma has to have Parkinson's Disease because she can barely hold a coffee cup without it spilling. My mom is jittery and anxious too. Shes always bouncing her leg like me and she has OCD. My dad is currently on Benzos and Lexapro. And I don't even know what my dads parents have. So...great genes there.....
So I thought 'it has to be inherited'. My anxiety has now caused me to believe I'm developing Parkinson's Disease. Of course, always drawing the worst conclusion.

I'm almost certain I have restless leg syndrome, because well, I do. I was thinking it might be from withdrawls. I was taking my dads Benzos and alot of Vicodin for the past month and ive heard withdrawals from those can cause it. I'm pretty sure I had it before taking those though. Seems to be just in my ankles though. I get that tingly feeling in my ankles all day so I'm constantly moving them. I don't have to move them, but I do. And then about once a month I get extreme pain in my ankles for about a day. I'm also always tapping my fingers in a rhythmic fashion when I'm not using them (Im really good at it now too, I make some sick rhythms. How would I not anyway when I do it pretty much all day). Only in my right hand though. Im starting to do it with my left so I can get good at it with that one too. haha. I dont contribute that to any health problem though because its just a habit. Its not a forced movement. Although now it seems as if its become one after doing it so long.

Anyway I only talked about those health problems so someone could tell me I'm not going to develop Parkinson's Disease.

And if anyone has any advice on the anxiety.

Maybe you should try to talk to a dr. and get on some pills to correct your chemistry, with your researching skills, I'm sure you could find something you could take to calm you down but not hamper your day to day.  I've heard of people having good results.

I use to be redic obsessive compulsive and at first I thought it was ok, it was just what I did to feel better, but then I realized it was controlling me and I hated having to do it.  The thing about anxiety is to keep it down myself I get into hobbies, and I mean really just jump headfirst in.  Went from never having a fish to a full saltwater reef, then my buddy turned me to growing shroomies..  The time and research I put into it pays off, and keeps me busy, but I do find I jump from one thing to another like a kid playing with toys. 

Anyways besides that whole rant it seems like no matter what I do, I can never get rid of the amount of anxiety but I can channel it to other things, it's like all this extra energy I have waiting to burst out.  Just relax take a few breaths and realize that life is going to play out in front of you and your just their for the ride. 

By all means, get tested regularly if something is common in your family, but don't let it run your life.

WTF

I wonder why almost every anxiety post in here has people on pills, taking more pills won't help

I suggest you find a way of dealing with it without pills, lots of exercise can be good for overcoming addiction

Nobody needs pills to balance their chemistry, they need exercise, good food & proper rest
Meditation is a better longterm cure than popping a pill so you feel good for a couple hours

Well, there is definitely a cause for the ankle problem. To me, anxiety first starts mentally. But to direct the problem with the ankles, try waiting a few weeks to see how it is once your withdrawals from the pills are done.

Are you taking anything else? Do you smoke weed? Cigarettes? Things you put into your body can trigger anxiety, and seeing that you were taking benzos for some time, that only increases the anxiety once you stop taking them.

Your genes may have something to do with it but just because your grandfather has Parkinson's doesn't mean you do. How old are you? The effects of this do not start for a while into your life.

As for the tapping fingers and being jittery; do you have any relaxation techniques you can use? Us humans (especially nowadays if i may say ...with the caffeine, types of diets we have, etc) are almost naturally fidgety in my opinion. Try to find something to relax you...go into the spa, read a book, look up meditation. You're not the only person with these types of feelings in their lives. So being a "victim" should be cut out of the picture for you.

I understand how you feel!

Look into herbs - one herb I can't remember which is known to increase dopamine levels and naturally - Mucuna Pruriens, I believe increases L-dopa the dopamine precursor.  Velvet bean. Don't over do it - add it to your diet as specified and see if it helps you. many atheletes take it.

...or something
