Some seriously good words in this thread. Unfortunately my anxiety has only gotten worse over the last few months, but I think that's because I'm aware of just how severe it is now and for a long time I've been pushing it away. It's hard for me to even type when I get this kind of anxiety. Went to see a psych the other day and got two prescriptions, hopefully they'll help me out a bit <3 Hope everyone else is doing alright.
Also I love all the Jerry what a beautiful man!

Today is just killing me, even The Grateful Dead isn't really helping and they're my cure-all. This is the lowest I've felt in a really long time. :/ Send me some good vibes fellow anxiety sufferers.

I'm right with you.
I know it's not much, but stop what you're doing, shut your eyes, try your best to slow down, and take some deep breaths. I often have to remind myself to do that, and I'm still anxious most of the time, but it helps a little. Just focus on a nice easy in and out, then slowly open your eyes and take stock. Everything's going to be ok, we're weird creatures wired on edge, but by tapping into the universe around and within us we can find peace.
Be well friend!

Got a bout of anxiety lately and I think it was triggered by something in my gut. I have been drinking a lot of kefir and raw milk and It's been fine. I think it was something i ate that one day at work that triggered it. I can't pin exactly what it is though. Trying to reduce breads and sugars right now so it will go away.

Diet plays such a huge role when dealing with anxiety triggers. Cutting down on processed sugars and dairy can make a difference IME, but it's not guaranteed.
My anxiety is also completely random, I know some of my triggers but for the most part it's a crap shoot.

m4dScientist said: circastes, let me ask you, what made you decide to use the cpap machine? were you diagnosed with sleep apnea?
if so, what were your symptoms?
Yeah I had the take home test done, all wired up at the pharmacy, looked like a nutjob walking to the car, ended up with a rating of 45 or so where anything above 30 is 'severe sleep apnea'. Symptoms included fatigue and sleepiness right from sun up to sun down, concentration problems, high blood pressure and though it's generally not listed as a symptom I had a feeling of unease that was effectively anxiety, all the time, and waking up choking with a massive heart rate (low oxygen), generally paralysed (sleep paralysis). Oh and irritability and apathy.
Light sleep is possible with sleep apnea but when deep restorative sleep hits all the muscles relax including the muscles that keep your airways open.
Hey man. Thanks for the reply
Do u need a script to take the test or can u walk into any pharmacy n request it?
