Do you suffer from anxiety? How do you handle it? | It's sad that so many people in this world don't "believe" in Anxiety. And in order for these people to believe it they have to actually "have it." People…Anxiety is no joke. Majority of my family suffers from this, including myself. I was, too, one of those people who didn't want to admit that I had absolutely terrible Anxiety until it got so bad that it was effecting the love for myself, and effecting my relationship with my boyfriend. I would become extremely vulnerable at the most random times and for no reason what-so-ever (or so I thought). I, one day, finally decided to go to my family doctor and talk to him about it and I actually broke down in tears explaining to him how I felt. He told me I did look very worn down, stressed and out of sorts. He prescribed me a daily medication, as well as Xanax. I took the daily medication only for a few months but i wasn't happy with the fact that I had to be on medication to control my feelings. Although, I did feel a lot better and even my boyfriend noticed a change. I wasn't a…ticking time bomb. I did keep the Xanax prescription but only took it when I absolutely felt that I needed it. It wasn't until I started seeing a Nutritionist that I felt 98% better! Healthy lifestyle is the way to go Beauties! Although I'm now living a healthy lifestyle I still have my "anxiety" moments, but very few and far between. Do you have a loved one who suffers from anxiety and you don' know how to help them when they're having an "attack"? Well.. Here are a few things that help me when having one of my Attacks…
Anxiety Attacks happen because your hormones are acting up and going crazy. Sometimes different situations trigger it. For me It's the Unknown. It could be something so little as "Do you know what time we're leaving" and the response being "I don't know" or "Are you coming over" and the response being, "Maybe." I HATE not knowing the answer. It makes me feel like I won't have enough time to do whatever I'm doing, or I'll have to rush, etc. It could also be something like Ziplining.. Where's the end of the rope? This really could be anything and when you feel this way and have your a anxiety triggered other little things will make it worse such as doing something you can't seem to get right and then starting to cry. Just because you don't have it… don't mean it doesn't exist or that it isn't there.. It is. |
