Help with Generalized anxiety disorder? ?
I suffered severe anxiety since i was very young i'm now and im in college, recently its become very bad again and im having lots of physical symptoms i have never had before although before i suffered from severe sickness from it, i am hoping to see my Gp but is there any advise anyone can give on what you think i should do. i had physcotherapy for 3 years and 2 years 1 year before that, this doesnt help, i have medicine for symptons but not working anymore. i also think i may be suffering from depression as i have done before, i feel hopeless like nothing can help and constantly upset, what can i do to help all of this?

well for me to help u, i need to know your symptoms. i too suffer from anxiety, but i only get anxiety when im feeling sick. im never sick, i get one cold a year, and i maybe get a fever once every 3 years. never had flu, strep, bronchitis, pnemonia, stomach flu, so whenever i experience weird random symptoms, i panic. like lately ive been having slight heart palpitations so ive been all panicky.
i see a Licenced Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and its not very effective because i have a strong mind.
but what does hellp is if i take, slow long deep breaths.
breathe in through your nose for 7-8 seconds, then hold it for a few seconds, then slowly release through your mouth, and that might help calm you down.
i am not a fan of medication, but if yours isnt working anymore, maybe u need to try a new one.
exercise also helps, go for a jog, go for a brisk walk with a friend, or go to the gym more often, thats supposed to release good chemicals in your brain.
try to take up a new hobby, and spend more time with friends to try to distract you a little.
if u have a significant other, or a very very close friend, ask if it is ok if you vent and confide in them in moments of panic, in time, talking to them will be calming and re-assuring to u.
i think some foods contribute to anxiety, try to limit caffeine, and overly greasy or salty foods.
this website might also be beneficial to u since i dont know much about your specific anxiety.
