:D Hello to all you fellow anxiety and depression sufferers, i'd like to post this, and i want to let all of you know, that you are all not dying and everything you are suffering is "normal" for a anxiety sufferer.. So first off.. *oh my god, i cant breathe" "oh my god i cant swallow" all these things EVERYBODY gets, its just us anxiety sufferers exagerate things, some people will read this and say * i am not exagerating* and i respect that cause iv been there..
Something small will happen to me, and ill be like "oh my godness" "that isnt normal" "im going to die" many a time i have came onto this site and wrote about how i think im goingto stop breathing and fall over and that will be the end.. but look i am still here, my breathing sometimes get so strange that i start to imagine i cannot breathe, but actually i can..
For most people out there the thought "will i be like this forever" goes through the mind.. the answer to that question is NO!! You need medication and determination, with those two things u can over come this, i know because i am in the process of overcoming it..
I am on a medication called yentreve.. a calming pill which also works as an anti depressant to help with your anxiety and depression, works a treat for panic attacks.
I just want to tell u all, that what u are experiancing i have experianced.. tightness of throat and chest, lump in the throat, feeling as though i cant breathe, dizzyness, dry mouth, i even got so anxious i would choke on fluids as the muscles in the throat was so tence.. i felt like someone was sucking the air out of me, i even got to anxious to kiss my fiancee as i was scared i would suffocate and die.. i get alot of phlem in my throat which sometimes gets stuck, even that feels like i cannot breathe properly, but i do breathe and i get through it, we all need to start trusting in our bodies more, our bodies are built for illness's and and brains are built to keep us breathing.. we cant just stop.. just think if it was normal for people to just stop breathing at any second and die, there wouldnt be people out driving on the roads, people wouldnt go to work, it just doesnt happen unless u have serious breathing issues.. are bodies are stronger than we think, hearts can beat for up to 90 something years.. we are actually quite strong human beings, and yes anxiety can make u feel something serious is wrong because everything is seeming worse than it actually is..
I do reccommend though that people should get check ups by the doctor for serious things like feeling like they cant breathe, or even occasionally not being able to could mean serious problems, as for me, i know it isnt, i had a scare the other day i was watching telle then all of a sudden i was litrally not even able to gasp because air wouldnt even go down for about 5 seconds, doctors checked my chest and oxygen lvl and said i was fine.. so there for ... panic attack!!
I send my love out to all of u suffering with this, i know how hard it is, and i know whats it like to settle for bed crying ur heart out because u feel like ur breathing isnt right or u feel u wont wake up to see your family.. i know its easier said than done but u need to get up and say u know what u int going to hurt me today, today is a good day.. and get some meds into you, i respect all u people who have overcome something like this without medication, really, wow, i couldnt, im on meds now, and on the road to recovery.. u all can too... i promise you all that anxiety can make u feel so bad u start to imagine things, ive been there.. COME ON GUYS ALL OF YOU GET UP AND START BATTLING THIS BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU HAVE A LIFE TO LIVE, CHILDEN OR CHILDREN TO HAVE, FAMILY WHO LOVE YOU, FAMILY WHO YOU LOVE, A MARRIAGE TO THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE.. A GOOD JOB, A GORGEOUS HOME, U MAKE IT, I HAVE FAITH IN YOU ALL. AND I LOVE EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU..
