Can anyone tell me how to place an avatar? The 'edit avatar' in the settings doesn't give me the option to upload or anything
Hey there! I figured I'd sign up in anticipation for the next peak because when it peaks it helps to have people to resort to.
Symptoms of my anxiety started over a year ago at night. I was trying to sleep and started having these weird feelings all over my body, sort of like as if my sensory receptors were rebooting. Numbness travelling from one end of my body to the other followed by tingling and a burn sensations, 'moving' along my length. And occasionally I get a brief burst of dizziness, almost like I fainted for a second followed by feeling like I ran out of breath. Days after this began symptoms worsened and one by one I felt most symptoms on the list on the general forum. Eventually full blown panic attacks started, sudden and mostly unexpected bursts of pure fear, confusion, tunnel vision and over-the-speed-limit drives to the hospital.
As time went by and I did some research I came to terms with my symptoms and I made sizeable feats in ignoring the worst of them. Nowadays panic attacks have been reduced to rare and mild events and my current experience with anxiety is in the form of a generalized anxiety disorder. It's always there, in the background, giving me the constant breathing difficulties, peaking from time to time and turning a mild headache into a fear that I'm developing alzhimer's or something equally improbable.
I'm in the process of changing lifestyle and dietary habits drastically but i'll be looking for some natural remedies to combating anxiety as pharmaceuticals are not an option for me unless it's a life and death situation.
