Hey! Thanks for reaching out. Can you tell me why and how it all started?

it sll started last yeat, around feb or march.first, i was having some discomfort in the area in my neck going down to the stomach. then next one was a lp on the throat feeling, shortness of breath, negative thoughts came in my mind too adding to the bad situation. procastination also came and always thinnking of fainting, dying, heart attack or impending doom.

i cant really answer on the why question that you are asking..iwell, i guess its probably being so stressed with life plus this pandemic that we are in. i aldo take care of my lids as i am currently unemployrd. 2 of my kids (twins) have autism and speech and hearing impaired. both of them. they are now 12yo and its quire a chore added that i now have anxiety.

I can understand, it must be really stressful for you. These are all anxiety induced symptoms. You have been dealing with a lot. Do you give yourself some time? Just search JPMR on youtube and try to practice it, then let me know how you felt after that. It will aid in your physiological relaxation. Do you mind documenting your negative thoughts?

i barely had time for myself as taking care of the kids along with the online schooling and activities realy eats up most of the time. a whole household stuff s to do is a lot. we dont have househelp so its just me. if i dont do it, no one will. i will look for JPMR. hope it helps me. thanks.

I know it’s going to be difficult for you to manage time for yourself but try to prioritise your health first. Then only you will be able to help others.

yes, you are right. regarding my negative thoughts..most of the time, i feel that there is an impending doom coming up without any reason at all (just in my mind), i worry about a lot of things, Sometimes thoughts of dying are to my mind. i try not to bother with these thoughts but is it is really easier said than done..other symptoms that I feel are lightheadedness, trembling / shaking, pounding heart, tightness in the chest, rapid heartbeat, numbness, blurry vision, weakness / tiredness, mind going blank, cannot focus on things, memory lapses, fearful / nervousness for no reason, easily irritated / angered, muscle tension, nauseous feeling, etc.

Whenever you feel any physical symptom sit somewhere in the room and in a very comfortable position. Tell yourself that is just a matter of few minutes, it’s going to okay, you are fine. Start to practice deep breathing right in the moment and complete divert your attention towards inhaling and exhaling. Maintain a thought journal Make two columns on it on the left side write negative and on the. Right write positive noe by the end of the day write down all the begative thoughts you experienced and on the right side replace them with positive ones. Now reimagine those situation with this new positive thoughts. Give yourself positive affirmations that you are enough and doing great. Let me know after few days how you felt, did it help in changing your perspectives. This exercise is know as thought disputing.

ok. i will giveit a try. actually, right now,i am having a little difficulty with breathing. i can breathe but I can't get a full inhale so I just try to inhale whatever amount of air no matter how little to help myself. I also try to do the chores I need to do giventhe situation. Should I stop whatever I am doing if anxiety tries to creep in?

Anxiety is always in my mind. I can't seem to get it off my thinking..it's with me by the time I wake up in the morning until night. It only kind of settles down when I am almost going to sleep. Everything mostly settles down and their is some "peace and quiet" time (at least even for a couple of hours - for which I am very thankful for!!)..then..when I wake up the following day - anxiety is also back again..kind of like on a "stand-by" mode and waiting to trigger anytime again. it "Stays" the whole day within me..

I understand, give yourself sometime. Practice deep breathing. Lets connect over a session to have a deatailed conversation about you and how i can help you manage your everyday anxiety.
