I experience a great deal of anxiety in my life from the demands put on me by my employer to listening to advertisers to the guilt from my parents and the social anxiety of getting a date and staying in a relationship, trying to get medical care on a limited income and schedule, dealing with the stereotypes in our society, trying to exercise, and eat right. Trying to relax doesn't help because then I become socially isolated, my house becomes a mess, the dishes pile up, etc. I feel like a hamster on a treadmill. The problem is as I round the bend of my 40th year on the planet, I feel like my heart is clutching and stopping every fews days, or it feels like a wave passes through it. A lot of times, I just feel like my heart is tense. Any suggestions on what I can do to calm down?
