Answer 2

Hi there! Yes I have experienced all of those symptoms, and I know how difficult they make life. I'm a manic depressive and have suffered mentally for many, many years. However there is light at the end of the tunnel, everyday try to think about at least one good thing in your life, try not to see everything in a negative light, and change your negative thoughts to positive as soon as you recognise them. It takes a while, I won't lie, but it does work, gradually you will see a difference in the way you view your life and all that's in it.
Once upon a time, my idea of a good day was one when I could get out of bed, I was on 15 different types of medication to sedate and calm me everyday, I got through it, so I guess anyone can!
Try a little Holistic therapy like Reiki, it works wonders, or even Reflexology, both will help calm the mind, body and soul to give you a deep inner peace.
All the best,
Shootoo.

Today because of the worlds bad conditions, many things are harder to deal with, and handle. I get anxious when the bills pile up, and the kids have needs that are constant. The money is not constant though.
I use to get real depressed, and I would just sleep long hours, waiting for the day to pass by, hoping the next one will be better.
My family's support and the help of my Dear God Jehovah, has helped me to overcome all the depression. At times because of imperfection, I still get depressed. But it don't last long. I know how to fight it. I read the bible, and keep my mind focus on the positive side of life. Like all the blessings I have received, my children, and my husband are a big blessing.
No one person has the same anxiety, or problems. We all are different in our feelings and emotions. We all go through things in life differently. So it is really good to understand others, and try to help them. And not to judge them. This also helps me not to be depressed, when I think of others above my problems, I have purpose and I feel happier. Good things will start, if we make it start for us. We must continue to go on, and live our lives in this critical world, and if we try to make our life happier for us, it may be alot easier to deal with anxietys. Using God's help does also make life better.

Answer 4

We have all this because life is too stressful these days, we all want something better too. A good holiday and time to think always does wonders. I asked a question about wether people thought it was better to have money or family time. Everybody thought money and that is the root of the problems. Having a day with all the people you love around you is the best cure. If I'm lonely I get unhappy, my family has more money now than ever before but I'm sat here all by myself because my boyfriend works nights. I suggest we all just take some time out and look forward to christmas.

Answer 5

I've experienced this about 2 yrs ago after my daughter of 18yrs had 2 strokes; thought I was going mad, could cope and was put on antidepression which did help but I didn't want to spend my life taking pills (it's good and beneficial - I'm not knocking those drugs) so one day I binned the lot, took up dancing and talking therapy.

Look for the positive at all times you will have to fight the nagitive feeling always dont let the negative win.
The good things are there we (you) need to find it ask yourself better yet make two list one positive and one negative burn the negative one and work on the positive ones - one day at a time.

Good luck.

Answer 6

I was anxious to the extent that I wasn't sure if I was actually okay, I think the first thing is to stop worrying, and I agree you have to make the most of life. If you worry and have panic attacks people will see and assume that you're unfriendly to them even when you're not etc, so the second thing is to get to meet people and stop being on your own. I joined a gym and began to rebuild my confidence in being around other people, I realised I needed to get out there and do things, ie meet friends etc and not tied to worrying for the rest of my life.

Answer 7

Most of us experience some of those at some time or another. We are emotional, thinking, feeling, experiencing human beings. As for the good things, it depends on life events and our perception of these. We need to face up to and deal with negative events, but we also need to acknowledge when the stress becomes unmanageable. Sometimes we can switch off temporarily and why not let the fun begin then? but the problems will still be there afterwards.

Answer 8

I've been suffering from anxiety since I was a child, but didn't know what it was. I started caning drugs hard and that just messed me up more. I used to drink heavily to get through every day social situations, such as walking down the street on my own, but I learnt to control my feelings by having a positive outlook on life. Its hard but I've been struggling for 3 years now and things do get better...

Answer 9

I've had virtually all of the above and whilst medication for me plays a key role, I found that things really got a lot better when I tried to take control of my moods rather than letting them run away with me and take control of me. I have bipolar and couldn't even begin to survive without meds but my life really took off and the good things started after I had some counselling and learned how to pace myself (still learning) and learn to love myself and be kind to myself. After several years I have finally found myself loving life which I thought would never happen. All the best to you...

Answer 10

A tip for you: If you always worry about bad things you'll only notice bad things. Start focusing on the good things in life and the fun things your going to do and you'll notice your life turn around. If you want to know more search for the sub conscience mind and how it works.
