Hello Forum!
I am reaching out to people here as I am running out of patience with my anxiety. I no longer know what to do. It has been 13 long, long years of dealing with it.
Essentially, the moment my eyes open the "chatter" starts. My mind begins racing and throughout the day it continues to get worse and worse - I can barely breathe and my vision goes blurred. It carries on until I come home and then fall asleep through sheer exhaustion, then I am fine until I wake up again the following morning. Then it continues.
I have tried medication, counselling, acupuncture and even food elimination. On the food elimination I gave up milk and yeast and was better for about two days then the anxiety returned again. I have tried going diary free again now but 10 days on and I am no better.
Does anyone have this? it is not like worry but just raging mental noise that exhausts me with shallow breathing and heart racing (oh I guess that's anxiety!).
Without that nap at night, I would be a zombie. It's like it resets my brain. Anyone similar? Or can help?
