wondering about all these symptoms

[andrewjdavid2005]

what i would like to know is why do i feel so edgy, restless, and cannot sit still and relax or sit down for more than 10 minutes? etc etc.

I feel like im going mad, what is causing these symptoms and how can i reduce or get rid of the edgyness, restlessness etc? i've tried distracting myself and everything but i still feel the same.

The feeling edgy and being very restless and stuff is bothering me the most right now i need some relief somehow.

Feeling terrible the last 3 or 4 days, feel like i am really tense inside, especially in my stomach area, feel like my body is going to explode or any minute now i am going to go mad, i feel so edgy and restless as well, my face feels really tense as well especially around the cheekbone area and feeling lightheaded as well what is causing all these symptoms.

Thanks for your post tattybear, but sometimes i think that if it was anxiety then i would be able to calm it down or get rid of it but i just cannot get rid of it.

[tattybear]

The reason you are not calming down/getting rid of it is because you first need to accept it IS anxiety, and look at ways of coping with it and moving forward,

CBT would help

By changing your way of thinking, accepting that this is anxiety and being positive you will be able to overcome all these feelings.

Hi Andrew, it is classic anxiety you have and i feel for you, and one thing you need to do is find something positive to do, You say you spend a lot of times on video games, how about going for a nice long walk instead, or relaxation videos or similar. Not sure large amounts of PC and video games help.
We would all like to have got rid of this yesterday but unfortunately it doesnt happen that quick.

and having the patience to wait for the day,when the sun comes out and the clouds go away.

I do sometimes try and accept it is anxiety etc but it doesnt ease my symptoms at all.

Thing is even when i come on here just to look at posts and replies etc, i am feeling like edgy and restless, and i have a funny feeling all throughout my body, but i find it hard just to sit here for even 10 or 20 minutes, my body seems to just want to make me keep moving, i never used to have feelings like this, its only recently this has started.

I know the saying "an anxious mind cannot exsist in a relaxed body" but i can never get my body to relax unfortunately.
