My whole body is aching like i have the flu I don't know why all of a sudden after almost a week of no symptoms, now my body decides to flip the switch and start all over again... Yesterday i thought i'm having a heart attack because my left arm was aching all week and then yesterday and even today i had chest pain. Now it started that my other arm is aching too and my whole body just feels like i have the flu or something. Even my mouth feels spicy and weird... I don't know, is this really something anxiety can do? I don't feel sick at all, but everything hurts like i'm in full on flu mode. Pretty much everyone on my mothers side of the family has rheumatism, maybe it's finaly breaking out for me? Has anyone else felt like you usually do when you are just completely flu struck, only that you aren't actually sick? Today was the first time i took a magnesium supplement (187 mg) so maybe it has something to do with that?

Magnesium for anxiety-related heart palpitations? I have heart palpitations that I’ve been to a cardiologist about for years and have always been told they’re just a result of anxiety. I hear of people having heart palpitations during panic attacks or while feeling anxious, but I have them all day everyday no matter how calm or regular the moment is. I suppose underlying anxiety is still there, as I’m a jittery person naturally. But they’re annoying and distracting. I tried a beta blocker but it did absolutely nothing, my cardiologist says anxiety meds might help but I’m nervous to take any pills I don’t have to. I heard magnesium helps with heart palpitations but I know nothing about it, how much is good versus bad, what form to take it in, etc… any info is appreciated! Anyone alleviate heart palpitations with magnesium? I’d love to hear about your experience.

Is it bad if your antidepressants makes you feel happy (I'm not talking about dangerous mood elevation)? I'm not talking about mania or hypomania here. But in the past I increased my escitalopram dose a few times. I was really "climbing the ladder" dose-wise (I think that I had to increase the dose over and over in order to keep the "happy" effect going) so I had to quit and come back down to the proper dose. I felt unbelievably great as I increased the dose. I took notes on my experience and I was just saying how great I felt and how I had nice memories of my family and my past...my mood was just great. Antidepressants have been in use for a while now so I'm sure there's some wisdom about (1) whether being happy like that is sustainable, (2) whether it's healthy or not, and (3) whether I could've actually ended that phenomenon of chasing the effect up the "dose ladder" and gotten the effect to "stick". Most importantly, when the "happy" effect was in place all my ADHD medications were working. This was absolutely life-changing. I can read in my notes that it says over and over "if I could only maintain this level of healthy brain-functioning and ADHD-medication effectiveness then I would have a great life". I wonder if there's anything to be learned from this whole experience that I had with the escitalopram and the ADHD medications; maybe the experience can provide a clue as to what to try in order to have a sustainable foundation for my ADHD medications. I do have some anxiety/depression/OCD; I don't think that it's at the clinical level. I mean, I looked up the criteria for OCD and one of them said something about the issues taking up an hour of your time each day, so I'm far from that. And when it comes to depression and anxiety, it's a situation where I have mild issues where you could probably say that it's unhealthy for me to have the negative tilt to my emotions that I have...again it's nothing clinical, though.

My anxiety makes me feeling like im dying everyday and its ruining my life. I dont want to die but dont know what to do. I barely get enough sleep, i feel on edge constantly like im gonna have another episode. My breathing has been an issue for days now and i keep having ticks and making humming noises occasionally and when i breathe out. I cant focus properly on anything or distract myself. The physical feeling are so intense I genuinely feel like im dying and cant stop it. I cant stop doing heavy breathing occasionally and my throat feels so strange, like ive had globus sensation before but this feeling is like tenfold, i get a sickly tingling sensation in my stomach and chest and not to mention that its so hard to physically talk, eat and drink when i really want to. Any tiny little thing can trigger me an then i spend hours-days having an attack that leaves me tired and unable to sleep. I take 20mg citalopram every morning an it doesnt seem to be working. Any advice woould be amazing since im up to try anything at this point. I just want the pain to go away.

I recently got diagnosed with GAD and need help with how to cope with potential panic attacks Monday I have a panic attack and was diagnosed with GAD. I'm only 18 years old and I do stress and I have had anxiety before but not that I've had a full on panic attack I feel like it's taking over my everyday things. Last night I had one and this morning when I woke up I almost had one but I managed through it. So far I've been outside and that helps me but doesn't make it go away fully. I went to eat at a restaurant and right when I walked it I got panicky and couldn't eat my food because I couldn't hold it down and I had to swallow the 2 bites I did take WITH WATER. I know this is temporary and I plan to work out and get a therapist and MAYBE take meds but is there anything I can remember to know for next time? It hasn't been a full week and I've had 2 panic attack and almost another. I'm anxious about being anxious cause that will trigger a possible attack Panic attacks make it feel like I'm having a heart attack or anything life threating. I should enjoy life but ik this is something that will take some time to deal with. My hands shake a little and I still have a fast heart beat even when I don't feel panicky. It also feels like a pit in my stomach is waiting for a thought to pop up for me to panic. When waking up today I panicked and walking it off reminded me of Monday when I walking and had the panic attack. Anything I should know for next time?

Does anyone feel anxiety because of some people? (Sorry for the bad english or any grammar mistake :D ) I've been dealing with my anxiety since I was 17. Since then, I've been looking for "triggers" that makes me feel more anxious. Like a pattern. So I could deal better with it (I dont have any pro help). I've realized that my anxiety gets worse when I have to talk with people. So, I've been trying to better my communication. And Im better, actually. I'm feeling more calm around other people. But there is something that it's haunting me since I'm trying to better my anxiety. I realized that there are some people that makes me worse. Sometimes even colleagues. For some reason, when I see them or talk with, I have a bad feeling, a heavy energy, and my anxiety explodes. Because of that, I cant trust on them. And I'm always in the "alert mode" when I'm around them. I don't know if this is a problem that my anxiety creates in my mind or if it's something that other people also feels. That's why i'm here. I'm trying to understand if the problem is me and my anxiety or them. Anyone feels like this around some people? Ps: I cant get away from some of them because of college and my job, unfortunatly :(

What's your story/experience of successfully getting out of your comfort zone while having anxiety? I still try to do everything even thought I'm dealing with anxiety this month (the feeling of impending doom) and the last step for now is to return to my part time job since I've been on holidays. So I would like to hear what stuff were you guys scared of doing but still did it and are proud? (It can literally be anything)🙂

Anxiety

Overwhelming Fear of Blindness & Deafness. How Can I Overcome? **I've had an overwhelming fear of blindness and deafness for years.** I developed **tinnitus** when I was in high school, due to exposure to loud music. My tinnitus isn't awful, I'm able to be productive around it. But ever since then, I've been fearful of one day losing all my hearing. Also, I've been fearful about blindness, due to a family history of sight issues, **dry eye syndrome**, occasional **eye floaters**, and the fact I often work late nights on my laptop. I saw a doctor about the eye floaters, but **was told that those are normal**, and most people get them. I'm conflicted because I have a smartphone compulsion, which feeds my fear of visual impairment. I just want to know how I can overcome **these fears because they often give me anxiety**, and I almost cried once out of fear my vision was getting cloudy. I'm sure it's not the end all be all, but **I fear I won't be able to achieve my dreams (filmmaking) if my sight and hearing are affected.** **Would really appreciate any words of encouragement and help. Thank you.**

I can't deal with this anymore My anxiety has gotten really bad lately. It has gotten to the point where I'm getting anxiety attacks almost everyday now and I don't know how to make it stop. I can't stop worrying and overthinking. My brain won't shut up. It has been keeping me up at night and I wake up every morning feeling anxious. I've tried meditation, exercising, yoga and I even cut caffeine out of my diet but nothing has worked. I feel so exhausted and defeated. I don't think I can cope with this much longer. I feel like I'm on the verge of having a mental breakdown.

My anxiety is telling me not to be honest/vulnerable I have a second date (anxiety is also telling me it’s not a date and that I’m not of interest to anyone other than people that try to take advantage of me.) with someone next week. I am so excited because the first date was a /blast/. My anxiety is telling me to play it cool, and not to look too eager and to only express interest if they express interest first. I would have listened in the past. I think it would be in my best interest to tell them I’m looking forward to it because I am. So, I am going to tell them that I’m excited to see them next week. Better to be myself and turn-off someone that isn’t interested in my genuine excitement to spend time with them than it is to keep pretending.

How to tell the difference between mental disorders and shit life syndrome? I've been trying to answer this question for a while. How do I know what's the cause and what's the effect when it comes to mental state? Am I depressed and suicidal because of how my life turned out to be or am I perceiving life to be more shitty than it is because of underlying mental disorders? I have never been to a psychiatrist so I have never been diagnosed, but I've been dealing with OCD since I was 6, I experience a lot of MDD, anxiety, social phobia and ADHD symptoms. I've also been suicidal for more than 6 years at this point. The thing is, most of those things appear so small when put next to 7 figures in the bank account. Most of my issues would immediately disappear. Only then I would be able to do things because I can, not because I have to. I experience what I'd call a "money induced paralysis". I talk a bit more explicitly about it in [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/GetMotivated/comments/v4qq6k/discussion_lack_of_motivation_induced_by_lack_of/) thread. It's very unlikely that I'll ever be financially independent and it's unlikely I'll ever find something interesting enough I'd deem worth pursuing for hours on end(AKA passion). Those realizations alone are enough to make me apathetic, procrastinate on all matters and basically give up on life and wait for the right opportunity to kill myself. I'd rather be dead than live a life I don't consider to be worth the effort. I've been thinking about seeing a psychiatrist for the past few months but I have my doubts. I procrastinate on making an appointment because it feels like my problems stem from money, it's not like they'll make me rich over there. In fact I'll lose money. That is enough justification for me not to go. I also can't get myself to schedule other appointments (blood tests, physio, dentist) because if my life will remain the same despite improving in some areas, then why bother? I'll kill myself anyway without winning a lottery or without some magical epiphany occurring in my mind. I suspect there could be something wrong with my brain, because plenty of other people have lives objectively worse than me, yet they see survival as something of value in and of itself. That could be the result of them being ignorant, me being ungrateful or my brain being disabled. So, how do I know whether my shitty mental state is caused by my views on life, philosophy, bad attitude, being lazy, ungrateful, spoiled, etc. or by some condition beyond my reach? Or perhaps that's how it's supposed to be, because my conclusions are logical and I just can't ignore them?

Compulsively giving myself anxiety? Recently I just stand doing nothing and then my body gives me anxiety? Like... I used to remember things and get anxious but this time even moving my eyes gives me anxiety? Feels like fear of having that feeling causes that feeling. A sudden sharp pain in chest. I dont know how to stop this. I get triggered once in a minute and im scared of having heart issues because of this. There is also a mild pain in my chest all the time. It feels so weird to lose control that much lol.

Buspar not for long term result? I just left my primary doctor and suggested BuSpar due to all the good things I’ve heard on here. Always turn down SSRIs because of sexual side effects and heard this is better. Anyway she told me buspar is effectively just like Xanax? That I can’t take both it’s one or the other? They’re both an “as needed” drug. Is this true? To me Xanax is a bandaid. Long term won’t change and work toward a cause. She made it sound like buspar is effectively the same even though it’s an SNRI not a benzo???

Are SSRI side effects dose dependent? For example, is one more likely to experience side effects the higher the dose or the bigger the increase in dose?

I'm getting very anxious about my dental procedure tomorrow It's not something I wanna do, but I'm made to do it. I had a root canal procedure because of an infection and my dentist recommends I get a crown for further stability. I personally think it's optional at the moment since it's my front tooth and it isn't subject to a lot of pressure. But you know, Asian parents, they're forcing me through it tomorrow. I'm so against getting a crown because it involves drilling away healthy tooth structure so that it will fit. It's permanent because tooth enamel can't grow back and so such a procedure I've been constantly anxious about it since the appointment got booked 3 weeks ago. Every day since, I've been dreaded for the day which is tomorrow. Has anyone had similar experiences or currently has a crown in their mouth? I'm worried about many things such as whether it feels like your natural tooth, whether it's the exact same color or a little bit off.

Anxiety I’m a 25 year old male overall healthy, I have been suffering anxiety and panic attacks for about 6 years now. I got on Prozac about 2 years ago and it’s helped tremendously. I get anxious here and there. I’ve gone to a whole bunch of doctors before the Prozac to all tell me I’m fine. Cardiologist, neurologist , ent etc. the other day I was at the pediatrician for my daughter and I started feeling somewhat antsy and hot and then I started sweating, feeling dizzy, felt short of breath, I thought I would pass out. I freaked out and didn’t calm down until I left about 30 mins later. I’m worried if I have a heart issue or if this just goes back to it being anxiety? I recently did bloodwork 3 weeks ago Everyrhing came out fine except my cholesterol being minor elevated which I’m taking care of already and eating super clean. Let me know what you guys think

Anxiety After Seeing Dog Having Seizure Back in January my 3 year old lab mix had what we think was a mild seizure. We took him to the vet the next day. Blood work came back normal so all we can really do is see if it happens again. Thankfully it hasn't happened again but we don't know for sure. But I don't want to see it happen again. This dog is my whole world, my best friend. He's the best thing that's ever happened to me. I've always had anxiety but after seeing that happen to him it's gotten worse. I hate seeing him suffer. There are days where I don't want to leave the house in case anything happens to him. There are days where I hardly eat or drink anything because I'm so anxious. I don't know how to move on. If it happens again I don't know how I will cope. I want my boy to live a long happy life.

A heart attack would be very obvious right? Hey guys I have had some pain and a feeling of weakness in my left arm for a week now that i want to get checked out at a Orthopedist today. But when i cane back from a walk i had a sting in my left chest when i breathed in :/ Now i'm sitting here and my left chest feels a bit sore and stingy sometimes, and my heart is beating quite fast. That coupled with my arm weakness makes me very scared :( A heart attack would be more obvious right? It would hurt a lot and i probably wouldn't be on reddit right now if i had one right? I'm so scared right now i hate it, it's still 7 hours before the Orthopedist opens up :(

I'm an adult who can not sleep alone. So I'm 32f and since I was a kid I've struggled with anxiety and sleeping. Afraid of the dark, night terrors, sleep paralysis all that fun stuff. My partner, is going away for 2 nights for a work thing. This means I'll be alone in the house. I have never been alone in a house, I've always had house mates or family in the house with me. Any time I was left with a house to myself I would get mates to come over and stay or I would go out. Its only at night when I have to go to bed in the house that I have the issue, I otherwise tend to enjoy being by myself. This whole thing is filling me with more and more anxiety. I know i'm building it up alot but its been one childhood fear never managed to sort out. I want to get over this, I feel quite pathetic that its causing me so much panic. Tools at my disposal: 1 incredibly needy cat that sleeps with me every night. A tv in my room. Hoping for advice and encouragement.

Oxazepam? Hey! I have been taking oxazepam 7,5mg-15mg once per day for my anxiety for the past 2 months. I'm neurotic about getting addicted, eventhough I don't think I have too high risk for that: I have been taking those pills max. 2 days per week and I'm even keeping two weeks pause from using them atm. I try to avoid taking those pills even two days in a row. I have them as needed and I was wondering can I continue using them like this or am I going to be addicted? Like if I take 15mg once/two times per week for a month and keep two weeks pauses just to make sure? Does anybody here use these pills as needed and how often do you take them? They really help with my anxiety but I want to respect that medicine so I try to take them only when my situation is really bad.

Lorazepam side effect/after effect In the last week or so, I have been taking small doses(.5/1.0) of Lorazepam(only as needed) prescribed by my doctor for anxiety. I have been experiencing some weird effects, which are feelings of weakness, weird random head pressure that will come and go, and weird scalp sensation that come and go and pressure weird dreams, etc... Just was wondering if anyone else has experienced these symptoms or other symptoms when taking or going off of Lorazepam..Like I said, I only take it if I feel extremely anxious. My anxiety has also been really high..Has anyone experienced these symptoms due to anxiety and or effect from Lorazepam/benzos? I plan on asking my doctor, but just wanted to see if others experienced these or other symptoms..Thanks!

Nobody takes me seriously I’ve (24M) dealt with depression/anxiety for years now. I used to be great with people, make good money, have the nice cars, great girlfriend, supportive parents, friends that I could say looked up to me etc. and then I was diagnosed with depression. Within about a year, I quit my job, lost my girlfriend even though she was great to me, and have yet to keep a stable job for more than a month at a time. My depression eventually was ruled to be “treatment resistant” after being on a number of meds and trying many other things. Some would work for a couple months and then I’d fall even further back from where I was. But now, after not having worked since early July of 2022, I am dealing with extensive and scary brain fog. I’ve incorporated working out, eating healthier, taking supplements and just trying to live a healthier lifestyle as I figured this was coming from a bad diet my whole life. I also got all blood work done including thyroid, basics, vitamin levels, testosterone etc and everything came back normal other than pretty high cholesterol. Both doctors I’ve seen (general practitioner, psychiatrist) has kinda blown me off when I tell them about the brain fog. Almost like they don’t really know what to say or what the next step should be to ruling out causes. I’m so scared as I’m feeling like I’m going crazy or have dementia. My parents are usually very supportive when I’m going through stuff but my mom doesn’t even want to hear me talk about it and my dad isn’t always around as he lives about 45 mins away. I ended up packing some things and driving to his house tonight without saying anything to my mom. I just hate feeling alone and don’t know what to do anymore. I feel like I’m at the end of my road

selfishness "I don't feel very good, it's like I don't belong in this world (I don't think I ever did). My friends are happy, and I'm always the one who's not really funny and who ruins the mood. So now I try to say as little as possible, people always ask me if I'm okay, if I'm tired, or worse, they say I'm scary. I think I'm just a mistake. People must find me weird or creepy, it's ruining me. A few years ago, my brother committed suicide, I felt very close to him, I think about his death all the time, I wish I could start my life over again and make the right choices (for once). What affects me the most is girls, I think... It's ridiculous, but I would love to have a relationship with a (very) pretty girl. Sometimes I think I've suffered so much that I would at least deserve that. I saw the damage my brother's death caused in my family, now I think if I didn't have a family to make suffer => suicide. My message is so selfish, and I know it. Thank you for reading these few lines..." \-Lust

I have really bad door anxiety! It's not about being scared I didn't lock the door or something, I'm just really scared of opening doors the wrong way or turning a key the wrong way in front of people or pushing instead of pulling and viceversa, it's honestly debilitating because i feel like I'm gonna die everytime I have to open a door.
