Anxiety problems
    #7935655 - 01/26/08 03:11 PM (16 years, 6 days ago)

I know their quite overwhelming, I've tried quite a number of natural therapies, and it just does nothing to Q my anxiety.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In reality, I have pretty bad anxiety. I’m in a state of constant worry about even though I know it, bullshit that I can’t control, and that worrying about is pointless. I still worry. I’m either twisting a strand of hair, biting the insides of my mouth, biting a fingernail or cuticle, in some instances until pretty bad pain including bleeding occurs. I’m also constantly shaking my leg. I’m a very agitated person and it’s hard on my family, I have a real hard time not acting so too. I’m a terrible procrastinator. .5mg. of Xanax is placebo. I feel no better, it seriously takes a full milligram. That is at least what I’m after too. I’ve had panic attacks in the past, but haven’t had a very severe one in quite a while. I’m almost positive I have social anxiety disorder. Not really to bad though, I’ve kinda learned to work through it.

I’m back in school after about 5 years, I’m 21 and am S-T-R-E-S-S-E-D. I’m sure my symptoms alone wouldn’t be enough to get prescribed at least 4mg. of Xanax a day longterm.

Here’s some of the things I was thinking. First of all, the panic attacks are a must. I’m going to base them upon social anxiety. Tell him I’ve missed a bunch of classes because I was so worried about going in and being around all these people I had a panic attack. Tell him things like I sat in my car and breathed into a paper bag, really does work, and it was useless.

Tell him I can just not manage to talk to girls. This is actually true, theirs this REALLY HOT GIRL who sits next to me in WRIT and is very flirty. I feel so clammed up and nervous, hard to think straight, let alone have a good conversation. When I can squeeze my buddy out of one of his footballs, I feel great, have no problem talking to her.

Tell him I am in absolute dread over having another one, and I think it only makes it worse. No matter how hard I try I cannot take my mind off it though. My worry and especially about the p.a.’s makes it impossible for me to pay attention. I’ve needed to ask questions and just couldn’t manage to say something aloud, and as a result missed info.

Tell him in class I feel like everyone is looking at me or something. Based on no rational fear. Can’t think of anything that could of provoked this. I sit awake not being able to sleep or stay asleep at night thinking about how I’m going to have to go out and be in a classroom of people I don’t know, even on nights when I don’t have school the next day. I’ve had bad dreams related to this such as being in class naked, tripping and falling, and being humiliated.

I’m on Lamictal for BPD1 and am not depressed in the least bit anymore. Hopefully, let alone the nature of the symptoms, being on a type of antidepressant will put S.S.R.I.’s out of the question. I’m also on a low dose 25mg. of Seroquel for agitation and not being able to pay attention; anxiety. USELESS. Hopefully she doesn’t try upping that, I already have, useless.

If I can manage, I’m a pretty good actor, when I get into mentioning the panic attacks and social problems I’m going to try and start crying, I’m sure that couldn’t hurt. Can’t really think of shit else right now, will edit. What do you guys think, sound good? Also would it be a bad idea to tell him/her that my friend had started experiencing my same type of symptoms a while ago, and when I take one of his pills, a 1mg. Xanax before school, I can actually go into the class and half pay the fuck attention, and just feel like the old days? I’ve heard it is and it isn’t, so… I don’t plan on abusing these too, am just sick of being a worried, agitated asshole. I know a lot of the more specific symptoms of GAD Panic Disorder, and Social Phobia. Oh and thanks to my own dope fiend mom trying to get shit like this, she told my doctor years ago I was drug user. Say things like I’ll bring pills in at random to be counted, take blood levels, etc? I doubt I’ll get them next Thursday with my present doctor and I’m already to switch to a known…good doctor. Well I guess throw in anything you think would help, especially some bizarre, not to well known symptoms such as the dreams I mentioned.

Wow man, that sux. I suggest going to a psychologist, because anxiety can be cured with psychology, meds just mask the symptoms. Benzos are particularly bad news -make you more anxious and possibly depressed as well in the long run, cause brain damage, personality deterioration etc. If you withdraw from them you will feel more anxious for a little while but you just need to have faith that you won't be that anxious in the long run, and may be less anxious than when you were on the tablets. Re the girl stuff, usually that type of social anxiety has to do with beleiving you are not attractive. I suggest writing a short thesis about how many other girls have found you attractive, what your attractive physical features are, etc. If a girl that good looking finds you attractive, you probably are.
I have had treatment for social anxiety in the past and I had very little faith that anybody could help me because I had it for 10 years. I couldn't imagine life without it. I went to a psychologist and they helped me fix it in 3 sessions. 10 years later I am still free of social anxiety. You need to find a psychologist who does CBT. They should be able to help you with any anxiety issue, providing you have faith and do the work they prescribe. Good luck.

I think what you have to do is what i have to do.

Know that the anxiety isnt real, since you know that the anxiety comes from things that you dont see any point in worrying about.

It seems more to me that you worry about your anxiety as well. As in you get nervous that you will be nervous about being in a situation.

It seems that you probally had a traumatic experience in the past as well.

All like me.

Go back and into your memories of the past and find out where you were traumatized. go into that situation with the intent to see through what made you feel nervous and fearful.

The reason anyone feels nervous about being in a social situation, is because from a young age we are taught that if we do not please those around us, we should feel guilty about it. Ie/ Little billy doesnt please his parents and his parents choose to make him believe like he is the source of his mommy and daddies pain. And since billy, just like us, is tuaght that the source of his screw ups, his mistakes and wrongssss, are HIM, when really they are natural outcomes of his ignorance and inability, he directs the negative feeling he gets when he displeases his parents, towards himself.

The reality of this situation is that little billy should direct his negative feeling of not accomplishing pleasing his parents, into actually accomplishing it, not into punishing himself emotionally and maybe even physically.

I know you may think that this is not gonna help. But i think one thing that i picked up on through dealing with these thoughts and the feelings of nervousness they bring, is to openly intend to bring with you, an attitude and method that allows you to subdue those thoughts that strike fear.

By this i mean, take some time every day to know that you intend on working through you nervousness, when it arises not repressing it or trying to force it out.

For now, just remind yourself that your feelings do not reflect what is actually going on around you.

KNOW that the source that causes you to feel, is a belief, deeply seeted in your Psyche and in no way you.

And for an excercise i suggest turning off the lights in your room one day at night when all are asleep and practice remind yourself that the way you feel doesnt reflect what is actually there.

That even tho you feel threatened, there is nothing trully there threatening you.


the words in this post will probally strike deep seated feelings and I really suggest reading over this post a couple of times to because those sentiments will cloud your judgement of what i believe.

My MSN is SOCCA_FREAK12@HOTMAIL

Add me bro, we can work together on this because it always helps to find caring support, and i know this is what we can be for each other.

c ya later bro. peace and challenge.

The mind is a creative tool. It searches to protect you, through message sensations(feelings). It is no different than a computer, you need to make sure its anti-virus program is in check and that it doesnt have a script that limits your experience, because of to much precaution.

And remember the computer does not appear to respond to words of anger and frustration - just give it input, in the form of new meanings that you know to be true and its messages to you and the limits it lays out for you, will change.

Guilt is an outcome of believing you are the cause of the problems.

Yet, we are not a cause to something, we see is negative or bad - Unless you believe your intentions are directed towards a bad outcome....
