stress induced anxiety


for 19 år siden 0 444 logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo 0
Hi Becky, How are you today? Are you enjoying your Saturday off? I hope so. I made it through yesterday somehow, this is my last day on the antiobotics, hopefully its whats been causing the tingling and headaches, unless its the Paxil, I am very dizzy today, I am really trying NOT to dwell on it, for some reason daytime is terrible for me, when it gets dark and its evening I feel a bit better, what do you think that means?? You would think at night when its dark I would be worse. I have not cried in 4 days which is good, perhaps the Paxil is helping the depression slightly, I only wish it would work on the anxiety and my hypocrondriac issues! I hate to wake up everyday feeling horrible thinking "this is the day you are going to die of whatever terrible illness you have that the Doctor cannot find" if I could just get that out of my head I think I could function better. I feel "wired and tired" Becky does that make sense?? So hyper yet so exhausted, its so strange, then there are days when I feel normal {very few unfortuantly} and I want to "bottle" them, its so nice then it comes back and it makes me so sad to feel so good then have it come back, all I know is that I want it gone and we all do. I did not mean to ramble sorry, I am home alone now and feeling scared. Please let me know how you are, God bless, Debbie.

Wow, we have exactly the same thing! The way you describe it as "fog" really nails it for me; unreal, spacy, and not particularly anxious. I've started therapy that may help. It's hypnotherapy (done by a genuine, accredited psychologist who is also trained in CBT). I'm starting my first real session this tuesday, but when i explained this symptom to him, he thought he could help. Hypnotherapy doesn't make a problem go away, but changes your perception of it. He gave me the example of dentists who use this method on their patients - it's not that it takes away the pain, but their relation to/perception of the pain so that it doesn'T bother them. Interesting, eh? I'll let you know how it goes. Oh, you might like to know what he thought this symptom could be: I often get a very heightened sens of everything (sounds too loud, colors too bright, etc.) which is hypersensitivity. This is because of the anxiety which makes me super aware of everything. As anxiety/panic is the body's response to perceived danger (even though there is none) it's like an animal who, when confronted by an enemy, suddenly needs heightened senses to have a better chance of surviving. As I'm almost constantly in this state, my body/mind sometimes "overloads" - thus the "fog" and spaciness. That's his theory, and I think it does make sense. I also am dealing with a very stressful job, and also sit at a desk all day. Our posture is what causes the pain/tension, and I was told to adjust my work station (chair, footrest, computer screen, etc.) I'll let you know how all this unfolds.

Oh Tiluli, I do have extreme neck and should tension in my muscles also, which I also contribute to stress. I sit behind a desk most of the day and am so swamped with paperwork it's unreal. Anyway, just wanted to let you know that I have the muscle tension in my neck and shoulders also. Take Care

Hi Tiluli, The feeling is my head is hard to describe, but what you were saying about yours sounds much like what I go through, and I truly believe most of it is from stress. I just feel almost to the point of being disoriented sometimes, even feels like some pressure in my head, I feel weird, spacey, things seem unreal. It's like I have a fog in my brain, it really makes me anxious. When I'm driving far I will get this feeling more intense at times and then I start to tense up to the point of having a panic attack. My jaws get tense, I just feel so spacey. It's really hard to describe, I wish I knew exactly what causes it, I get it and I'm not even anxious, that's why I guess I feel that it is stress related from my job. Let me know if you find anything that works, I did order a yoga DVD and am trying to do the progressive muscle relaxation to see if that helps. I know what you mean about not wanting to go back on meds. Paxil did work for me, but it was really hard getting off of and with you wanting to have a baby I understand your determination at not wanting to take medication. Let me know how you are doing. Becky

Hi Becky, I feel like I'm reading myself when i read your post. I also quit Paxil (off for 3 months now) and am trying to tackle my anxiety without meds. Having a bit of a rough time, especially with my very stressful job, like you. What really rang a bell with me is when you mentioned the weird feeling in your head... could you describe what you feel? I have something strange like this constantly and if it doesn't subside soon, i'm afraid i'll have no choice but to go on meds again (which I REALLY don't want to do!) The feeling i have is that everything seems strange to me, objects, people, everything seems a bit overwhelming but at the same time, it's like my head is filled with cotton-wool, heavy and light at the same time and I feel like i'm watching the world like on TV or in a dream, and when I turn my head, it's like my eyes take a while to catch up to focus, and there is tension around my head all the time, neck and shoulders stiff... is this what you have? (By the way, for relaxation, I have also tried yoga and herbal teas and exercise and am also starting hypnotherapy, leaving nothing to chance as I refuse to go back on meds because I want to have a baby).

Dear Becky, I am glad you got through the day and I hope you are home resting, I understand what you mean about the anxiety, I use to waitress years ago, 10-12 hours without a break and I thrived on it, I loved it, and one point in my life the anxiety would acutally motivate me it was so much a part of my personality I got use to it, now it has turned on me with a vengence with the panic and depression and health anxiety, how I wish I could just have the plain old anxiety back without the other things! My head is still hurting, did you say your head hurt after sleeping on the couch from your neck?? I hope that is what it is. I am taking the Paxil 10 miligrams, its probably not enough, it took me a month to take it Becky so do not feel bad, I hate meds and the side effects, the Klonopin has helped me alot it calms me, it can cause a little depresssion but it stops the shaking, I take a low dose, I think Klonopin is very good for panic and anxiety, its the only med that really helps and I am not scared to death of. Let me know how you are and how its going. I will pray for you. God bless, Deb.

Hi Debbie, It's been a long and stressful day at work. Thank God I am still able to make it day to day, but I feel this job could be way too much for me, it never stops, and with my anxiety, it makes it really hard. Some people thrive on jobs like this but I don't. I'm sure your neck will be fine. My neck has hurt me many times for days after sleeping on the couch, on occassion even in the bed. I guess I am just tense and sleep wrong, my bones aren't as flexible as they used to be. Are you still taking your paxil? I'm seriously considering Lexapro. I also have the stroke fear, especially with this weird feeling in my head, it's almost to the point of being dizzy. It's very hard for me to drive. My grandfather died of a brain tumor, which was like many decades ago, so I think about that too. I wish I could just live a normal worry free life. I know that all this worrying isn't going to change anything, but I can't control. I hope you are doing better. I know paxil takes a while to kick in really good, you shouldn't have much longer to go. I admire you having the courage to take paxil. I looked at my zoloft for two months before I got the courage to take it and it just wasn't the medicine for me. Take Care and let me know how you are doing. Becky

Hi Becky, We sound a lot a like lately, I too smoke, I cut way back when I was coughing now I started more again, not as much as before but enough to concern me, the anxiety is high and smoking helps which I know is not a good thing. I hope your chest is better, its probably from coughing I know I had that too and the Zoloft is almost cleared from your system I am sure. You mentioned a "werid" feeling in the head, I have had a headache for 4 days now, it started on my left side and now "moves around" I am slighly dizzy also I was having "little electric shocks" in my face and head and once in a while in my body, of course I thought it was a stroke, I went to the DOctors yesterday, I have been to the Doctors so much in the last month, the paramedics have come to my home twice and the ER visit!! My husband of course is livid, the Doctor really cannot find a reason for my headaches which now I am scared,, at least the shocks and dizziness have eased a little I am hoping the headache will go, its painful but more scary than that I am sure you know what I mean, my MOther had a brain tumor at my age then it grew back and she died in surgery and that is always on my mind, I have just gotten over a heavy period and I am naucous, I am trying to stay positive and strong. I slept on the couch lately because its more comfortable for me, my neck hurts, I am wondering if that is causing the head pain and shocks, like a pinched nerve, I have to write Gina and ask her she had one I think. I am praying for us Becky, I admire you go out and work everyday that is fantastic, I admire everyone who can go function at a job with this disorder, that in itself is a remarkable feat. Please let me know how you are feeling I will wait for you to post me back. Please take care, God bless, Deb.

Thanks Debbie, I'm glad your bronchitus is going away, I am feeling a little better, not coughing as much. I hope the Paxil does work for you, I was on it for about three years and it did do the job, it's just since then I have become afraid of everything it seems like especially meds. I know that it's mostly me and my anxiety... the fear from taking something. Realistically I know it's worth a try and if it doesn't work for me just stop taking it. I don't know what to do at this point. My chest still hurts, I feel so weird in the head. This anxiety can be cripling. I am trying to find a way to help. I smoke also, and so I always have the fear of lung cancer, but I continue to smoke. I just need to try to start a healthier way of life, relaxation, meditation, exercise, whatever it takes, I keep saying this, but knowing it and doing it are different, especially when you have the constant anxiety and fear. I want to quit smoking I think that would help tremendously, but right now it is a crutch for me. I hope the paxil works well for you, it is a good medication, it's just with my anxiety, I go back and forth. I have thought about trying lexapro, I even thought about the paxil again because it worked for me before. I didn't like getting off, I guess I should have stayed on it, but looking back, it's no were near as bad as what I'm going through now, just a little increased anxiety, I'm used to that. Hopefully, we will both find something that will help us. I can so much identify with what you go through and your fears I have a lot of the same fears that you do. Please keep in touch and thanks for your kind words. God Bless You, Becky
