Hi everyone,
I'm 31 and have constant nagging anxiety everyday, panic attacks when I'm out of the house (and more happening at home too!)
It's amazing what the mind can do to the body.
I don't take meds because I'm scared to, though I have been on them in the past many of them in fact!
I haven't taken them in about 9 years and never had any bad side effects from them so why the heck would I be scared to take them now? I just want to get through this without them if I can.Which leads me to a more natural supplements but I find I'm afraid to take those too!I know it's all in my head but hard to change.Any one have any luck with magnesium supplements? I have natural calm just sitting in my cupboard collecting dust! Also does anyone experience flu like symptoms due to anxiety? Mine started last night, I had the chills yet my skin felt hot (no fever) then I started getting really hot, heavy pressure in the back of my head,off balance feeling? Basically I felt I was going to pass out it was horrible I still have the shakes! Thought for sure this is it I'm gonna die! It's relentless. Been there, done that, I'll get through it again! It sucks. Thanks for listening.
