Bad anxiety today

LivAgain

Hi everyone,

This morning I feel so shaky and anxious that I really don't feel I can go to college. I'm going to because I don't want my family to worry but I feel really restless and nervy! It's irritating because my medication is supposed to be treating my anxiety feelings, but all it seems to be doing is putting me to sleep at night (which is a good thing because I know from past experience that my sleep would be suffering and we all know that usually can only make things worse, but in the day I feel perpetually anxious) - I don't know, I just wanted to talk about it! For me, feelings are like moths; they'll flit around inside you more and more crazily unless you open a window (i.e. talk about them).

Any tips?

Thanks so much,

LivAgain Innocent

    I suffered from childhood depression. Like, when I was eighteen months old. I would have excruciating headaches and my entire body would hurt according to my parents; I'd fold into myself, would cry and not even want to see my grandparents.

    I would never have thought that a child so young could have depression but the headaches would have a massive impact which would result in severely bad mood. :-(

    Did you ever look at dietary interventions? I'm intrigued by things like the Feingold diet and their claims for major changes in behaviour. I'm also aware of the well documented connections between chocolate and migraines. It doesn't seem too far fetched that our super-sensitivities could extend to being sensitive to the constituents of foods. What do you think of these diets?
