Hi all
My anxiety levels have been up for the past few weeks, I have been taking advice from this forum and have seen a counsellor.
At the moment I am taking vitamin B supplement, Co-Enzyme, Ginko Biloba and St Johns Wart.
I excercise first thing everyday - before starting work.
I go to bed at a regular time - after a relax in the bath and always get to sleep, but I do wake up several time. I try to get up at the same time also.
Not much of an appetite and the moment, but do eat fresh fruit & veg, mainly light meals, like pasta, chicken, fish and plenty of water and juices.
After the trip to The Deep as mentioned in a previous post and then to Leeds at the weekend, to collect a new car, two difficult things, but both manged.
I still find that I am waking up with butterflies and churning stomach and generally having a low-level of anxiety till about late mid-morning - never a full blown panic attack.
I generally only feel these things when their is some event happening like the above events.
I have taken a couple of kalms about an hour ago and been breathing and things are now on the up.
This level of anxiety is very disconcerting for me and positive thinking I find difficult - I keep telling myself that it is only anxiety and it will go away and try and concentrate on my work, I do find though that as a graphic designer the anxiety saps my creativeness.
I have a manageable level of work on at the moment, I feel in my mind that I am thinking about the anxiety far to much, but also find it difficult to turn this off.
Also I ran out of a couple of the above supplement last week and I don't know if this is co-incidence, but my level of anxiety increased, I mentioned this to the health shop person, I they said it probably would.
Anyone else have anxiety and certain times of the day?
