I don't know what is wrong with me, I feel constant anxiety that gets so bad I feel as if I'm going to pass out. It's not caused by thoughts, worry, emotions or stress, I simply wake up every morning feeling like this and it lasts all day long and nothing works to calm me down except a few things that provide temerary relief such as is B-vitamins and the fresh smell of a cut open orange but is only a temperary relief from the symptoms. Also what helps is writing, it calms the nerves and seems to work for me to get a little relief. I have tried breathing exersizes, I have tried coping with thought patterns, I have tried everything that is out there and nothing works. People always tell me that my anxiety has a trigger and maybe it's my thoughts or emotions and it makes me mad when they say this because I know it's not caused by any of that, it doesn't matter what I'm thinking about nor does it matter what emotion I'm feeling. My anxiety is so bad now I can't hardly get out of bed, I can't ride a bike or ride in a car, I can't even talk to some one for to long without having to excuse myself. I get numbing sensations in my torso, dizzyness, depression, constant shaking and trebling, a feeling like my heart is going to stop and I feel like I'm going to pass out. Has anyone tried the old orange juice and nutmeg trick? I can tell you right now it doesn't work, for me it only seemed to make me feel worse. So I know now that anxiety does not need a trigger, it can come on out of nowhere without warning.


Dear Mark, It sounds as if you may be having recurrung panic attacks. Those are generally not from a conscious cause, the cause is sub-conscious related. Also (and I'm not a medical Dr.) I believe they can be physiologicaly induced by certain "misfires" inside the brain . Have you seen a Dr. for this? If not , I highly suggest you see one as sometimes the only help is medication, because it sounds as though you've tried everything else w/ no success. Please let us know how you are doing w/ this and good luck. Sioux.
Thanks for the comment. I have been seeing a doctor for this problem for a very long time and have been on several different medications and your right, medication is the only thing that seems to help in the long run. I don't believe this is going to last forever, I believe that one day (hopefully soon) I'll find the right treatment that works. I have been experimenting around with different methods and I'll keep everyone posted on which one helps and which one doesn't. Thanks again for the comment. god speed
