An Easy Relief.. Without Meds..

[Jessybeanz]

Hi, for one my name is Jessica, I suffer from once kronic anxiety/panic disorder. It runs in my fathers side of the family, from different levels. From those who can't stomach going outside to those who just can't sleep at night. Well, My therapist have asked me over and over to the point I think it's kinda sad. Because im one of the rare people who can't take many meds, I get addicted quickly, or they knock me to the ground, I get the effects they say "1 in a million people get" not too fun... So they would ask me do you smoke cigs/mariuana? i would be like no? They would ask me if I would drink, I told them no... They literally would look at me stunned saying HOW!? Because of the things I apparently went through where enough to make anyone insane. (as i said thank you for that unneeded remark) I told them.. Same as I got people to stop doing drugs... Stop being alcoholics...

In my opinion everybody has a love for something, maybe it's they haven't found it yet.. like I say for me : Music is the insperation I hear day by day, the inner voice that screams out of my soul into scripted lyrics on this page right now. Art is the inner child and visions and takes on reality that runs through my viens and bleeds out paint turning into masterpieces you call pictures. Photos are the little tokens of memories i have scattered across the years in time tracing back on a timeline of places I once had been and showing how I grew to the person you see infront of you

Everyone has something, some talent ... some passion.. when you have anxiety... or depression.. alot could be you're not getting your feelings out, your emotions are dwelling in your soul to the point your body doesn't know what to do.... I would say weather it's scrapbooking, writing, drawing... Maybe even sports to release that energy?.... I would say when you get that numbness, that timidness, anything... Poor out those emotions in some way, weather it be on paper or in music... You will be amazed at the things you are capable of.. Sometimes when I'm so panicked so anxious.. after i write things I feel better like a load was taken off.

I guess what im trying to say (which im never good at saying things so this probably is jumbled) Is that.... everyone has something that inspires them to do different things... let that be your crutch.. a good crutch.. a healthie crutch.. find what activity calms you that is healthie for you.. maybe it's even cooking!? because with that your in control.. with everything you do with your hands YOUR CONTROLLING THAT just like you can control your panic and anxieties!!! Because you are all wonderful and strong. [= & the one main thing with anxiety people need to rememeber while having it (and i just started kinda mastering) is IT ALWAYS PASSES, might feel so real ... the pain, the numb, the crazy daze... but.... it ALWAYS passes ^_^ I wish everyone luck in finding the thing that drives them on, and wish you on all luck in getting better.. Because it will happen!!!!!  ^_^ Take care ;)

Best of wishes
~ Jessica

Good post :)

I myself also don't use any meds or drugs/alch to cope with anxiety... Not because I cant, or would be addicted, because I don't have an addictive personality...

But I think they are all temporary relief, and I can(for the most part) cope with the moment, but really dont want to be anxiety ridden for the rest of my life.

Aww yea I totally get what you mean. Me well meds would be nice but I don't liked being something I know I'm not. I try to control it for the most part... and I try to forget about it and laugh at myself... today I admit its a lil hard I had it bad nothing helped, turned out to be sinus because my forhead is swollen... :\ but its still buggen my panick attacks.. :\

Thank you Lydia!! <3 && yeah .. i tend to be overly passionate for the people and things I love/believe in.. by the way, i saw it says new member Welcome !!! && I hope this place brings you peace and help aid in getting better with things you are going through that brought you here!!! Tc hun

Thank you Tameryn!! <3 I'm glad you where moved by it in some way, I just want people mostly even with depression to see that there is so much more to life... because there really is, and there's more to addicting habbits and copes like drugs and drinking which are temporary .... music and art i mean things like that will stick with you for life!! You just have to be open and willing. && ty... it comes in waves hehe.. Take care sweetie!
