Hi all, I believe I am a daily sufferer of anxiety and it literally drives me nuts!! I'm sure there is no immediate cure for my symptoms, I've seen doctors and tried hypnotherapy but no joy. I've slowly gathered more symptoms over the last 6-7 years and wish to find a cure or at least some relief. I suffer from headaches, stomach pain/bowel discomfort, heart racing, constant tiredness and lack of sleeping, but the worst is not being able to breathe normally, if I could just cure that I would be 100x happier! I currently find relief from exercise, music, and drinking alcohol but I dont always have time to exercise, play music and I certainly dont want to and cannot drink alcohol every day just to get relief, I only drink at weekends as I generally try to stay healthy. I lead a good life, a good job, have many friends and family, I have had past experiences which have probably contributed to this anxiety but my life has changed since these events am I am stuck with these daily problems.
I'm not sure the best way to tackle this now, I almost feel the need to celebrate if I have some days without symptoms but this does not happen very often. I am single at the moment which makes me unhappy but nothing else really causes me stress, well, not that i'm aware of anyway!
I have comments from friends about my good and interesting life and they dont understand why I cant be happy and nor do I, any advice is considered here, is there medication that actually works? Is there something you can take that gives you relief and you can slowly feel better? Is there a therapy that really works? Or is it completely down to the individual to help themselves understand what causes their anxiety and find their own solution for their problems?
