Who else has anxiety?

I have anxiety... and it always comes in the evening, and I feel like tearing stuff up! I throw fits in my room, and my best friend is a stress ball because I like to squeeze things, it calms me down.

who else feels like this? :P

Have you been to a Dr. over this? There is meds to help with anxiety.

I do have anxiety. mine comes and goes through out the day. There are times I can barley function because I am afraid of what would happen. I hope you find something that can help your anxiety! Just know you are not alone with this!

Hello bri456, welcome to psych central.
I also suffer from anxiety, especially at night. I have found therapy and meds very helpful for my anxiety.

I have anxiety, only I direct it all inward, towards berating myself for things long ago, kind of a 'geez people in this world have been mean to me' and dreaming of ways how to prove that this world was terrible to me..

Perhaps I can pick up on your outward anxiety and I could pull the IN, OUT!!

Perhaps you could use some inner thoughts to figure out where it is coming from

.......................we can work well together!

You are not alone!

Many of us have dealt with anxiety for a long long time. Some of us, even when we think we have it under control, have attacks occasionally.

Hang in there! There is pleanty of support here!

I have it too, but since i drink my doc will not help me with it.

Yeah Everybody! let's all work together! We could form our own support group!

What do you guys think?

i have anxiety thats what my first diagnosis was. Since then i have been diagnosed with complex ptsd and dissociative disorder also. Anxiety is the worst feeling ever

I have anxiety and I find it rears its head when I have to deal with hard things, making decisions, pain, and in general overwhelmedness. Thats when I'm most anxious.

A support group sounds good, PM me anytime

I used to hit stuff. Pillows, the bed, punching bags, the sofa, big overstuffed chairs, lie down on the floor and beat on the carpet (that hurts, rug burns ) it helped to get the anxiety out. Also, exercise helped get rid of some of it. After tiring out, I took a hot shower or warm/hot bath.

Take a deep breath in through your nose and let it out slowly through your mouth for about five or ten minutes .
Repeat after me ....."it's only anxiety , nobody ever died from anxiety."
Go to the library and get a book on meditation or yoga.
Ask your Pdoc if your anxiety warrants medication .
Go for a walk with your MP3 player .
Jog a few miles .
Go for a bike ride.
Get a cat or dog .
Learn better coping skills .
Think positive.
I've tried all of these and still manage to have anxiety .
But it can be reduced to where it's bearable .
Good Luck Bri .

I have had severe anxiety for many years now... I get to where I can't breath and I totally freak out I am on meds that help with other problems but the doctor doesn't think that my anxiety is worth acknowledging... she just wants me to talk things out with my therapist... the breathing exercises that she has taught me help a little but there are times that I can't even go out of the house because it is so severe.

Meds for anxiety are probably the next thing on my list to talk to the doctor about.
