I have no idea how to stop my anxiety....it's driving me crazy!

What kind of pill, marjan? I am on some and wish I had never gotten on them b/c they are so hard to get rid of. And I want to find someother way to deal with my anxiety and the pain. However, I also understand how much you just want it to all go away. I wish you luck. Sorry I don't have much to say. I myself am struggling right now.

I'm afraid to tell you I don't know....well...this is a pill that my mom gave me....her doctor gave her when my dad passed away....I know...I know....I should not take them....but just twice, I think it's okay....I don't have the pill here, but when I got home I will send you the name.....I had googled it before taking the pill to make sure it's the right one....it was saying it's for controlling the emotion stuff.....I don't think my mom got addicted to it....not sure if she's taking them anymore....I will ask her....

But it fixed me....I know my emotional turbulence it's just temporary and it will go away....however, I needed to fix that stomach problem....that's why I took the pill...

I know some pills can be so addictive....my friend has the same problem....she's on the anxiety pills, I don't know which one, I can ask her....then she told me she has a hard time to quite them....I would not want to go to that root....

Probably, you should identify what is causing your anxiety....I know exactly what is causing it....and I know I can either avoid those triggers or I can work on my thought process....It needs lots of practice, but I'm sure it's doable....however, in time being, I could not suffer more....I would not take the pill tonight to see how it will work....

The meditation and reading inspiring books and music helps me a lot...I just get better by constantly doing all these, then I don't for awhile and then I get into trouble again....I think I should keep doing all those practices and not quite when I get better.....

I know how you feel, anixiety seems to have a remarkable ability to make combacks unexectedly. I am almost ready to just tell myself it is something I will probably have to live with the rest of my life. I am just starting to become more proactive in trying to combat this monster, started therapy, taking med's, signing up for forums, and reading all the books I can find about anxiety.

Glad you are here with us,

Brian

Thanks Brian.....I've been doing better past few days....I think taking pills were at the right time....and then I just let it go and accepted my situation.....I just took pills couple of days and it's been three days without them and I'm okay....
Meditation helps a lot....big time....and of course not thinking about my the past events and not being so obsess and worry about future, is helping me too....
however, I still feel I'm walking on the eggshells.....
take care and keep trying to get rid of the anxiety....try everything that is possible and hope it works....

First of all, remember that it's okay to be anxious, it's what we do with it that matters. There are going to be bad days. I have bad days. Lots of them. Meep....

Anyway, it sounds like you're having some, so here's what to do:

Accept that it's going to be like this. Your progress isn't gone; you had the sense to come and post, you're using your tools. This is what you have them for, this is why we practice on the good days. Take some deep breaths, note that you're dealing with anxiety, and since that's what you're having, that's what you'll work with. Get grounded. You know this will be a challenge, so let it be one. you don't have to FIX it. You only have to deal with it, one moment at a time, for now.

You know that it will get easier, it is just not easier now.

So here we are, in the moment, anxious. And it's all right to be anxious, at least. We can deal with it, we've been freaked out before. We know to calm down, go slow, and do the things that work. They won't work like magic right now, okay, but they will still give us something to do while we tolerate this and deal with it.

You don't have to fix it, you don't have to get back to better right now. you just have to live with it, knowing that you've done it before and can do it again.

It's hard, but we do it. Breathe. In, out. Breathe. Stop, take stock of your fingers and toes. Breathe. Do the things that work. Remember that we will always have bad days, there will be ups and downs. Get exercise. Get rest. Accept being anxious, because sometimes it just happens. It's hard, but SO ARE WE. We are strong in our softness, hard in our refusal to give in. We move with the days, and we breathe. We wait for better, we work for better, but we live with now.

You're brave and awesome for talking about it. Really. Thank you for not just hiding under it. I hope we can all help you live with it while you come out on top of it again, and if it's slow, that's all right. You know better is possible and that's the hardest, most important part.

Thanks Sisu....Thanks for taking your time and helping me.....I really enjoyed reading your post....thank you....

Yes, I keep trying....I would not give up on myself....I will learn how to deal with all these anxiety and all these feelings.....I'm sure I will get better....I already feel better........

Thanks everybody for your support....love you guys

I really hope things are settling for you,

Thanks Rhiannon....I'm doing okay....yesterday I went for a 8 miles hike...It was so hot....not a good idea to hike at this hot weather....I think I had heat stroke....I felt really sick last night....and today I stayed at home....

I met a Therapist....guess what he told me....it's a joke...he told me "you are a smart woman and you know what to do....you really don't need a therapist....but you can ask your doctor for medication for your anxiety and just keep it with yourself and have it in my purse as a security"....hehehehe....ya...that's what he told me....probably, he's right....probably, I just need a security blanket to make sure i can control the anxiety....
