Struggling with Anxiety!

Sarah

I am struggling so much with anxiety! It used to be ok and bearable but it's now unbearable and I'm struggling to manage it! My GP diagnosed me with Generalised Anxiety Disorder and it's causing me a lot of physical symptoms like dizziness. I can no longer go in to town, if I do I get so dizzy I end up falling over! At home I headaches, dizzy, feel sick, hands shake and that's just at home...

I've said to my GP and she can offer me anti anxiety medication but said there's little else can be done to help me. She also suggested talking therapies but she's not sure given my current state how well I'll respond to it. 

I'm so tired of this now and frustrated. I just want to get on and enjoy my life but I'm plagued by anxiety and it's ruining me.

If anyone here suffers the same please will you tell me how you deal with this.

Thanks,

Sarah.

  • Some anxiety IS amendable depending on the circumstance. But it seems autistic biology can be wired for a heightened anxiety and our society is not helpful. One factor I've found in medical journals is the link between GABA and its ability to shut-down an over-active brain. What has been found is that ADHD and Au have less GABA. I've found a mushroom compound with Lion's Mane incredible helpful as a daily supplement. 

    But when unresolved matter, and unknown stressful factors send the brain into a sort of state of hyper analysis, anti-anxiety medication can help create clarity and in connexion with Problem-solving tools, it is possible to fix many situations which are causing anxiety in the first place. Fixing sensory environmental factors is sometimes the first. Adjusting work/home life however is necessary for the best of everyone involved and letting go of bad relationships.

    But, in my experience, a looping / broken record of a melody will only be dissolved with a micro-dose of Xanax. No one should need these daily, as they're incredibly addictive and can also create anxiety if taken daily for 3-5 days in a row. So I use them sparingly when need be as this kind of stress is bad for health and I am responsible for a young adult who'd like me to stick around for a while :)
