anxiety..

[matttx]

I dont know who to even talk to this about or even where to start.

i think i have a anxiety disorder. im going to school and have to do "clinicals" on my own time. like right now im supposed to go to a clinical i have in a hr. and i just cant seem to go. i have this huge stress on my shoulders and im really tense. ive been dreading this whole week for quite a while just because of this 4hr clinical.

at this point i dont know what to do. i want to go talk to a doctor but i have no clue what to say and if they will just think im over exaggerating or something.

Go speak to a Doc

You're joining the millions of stressed out adults making their way through life. No big deal, plenty of routes available for stress reduction - relaxation/meditation, anxiety drugs, exercise, reducing DVD viewing.

Slow down. Go to your student center. Figure out now the best way to manage stress, because it never goes away, it requires constant attention or it will destroy your quality of life.


Chill. Go bang a college girl, I'm too old for that now. That's stress Bro.

Did you just drink coffee ?

no.

i dont think its just stress alone. i felt the tensest i have ever felt leading up to going to this clinical. and as soon as i told my self im not going and went an sat down and started thread. all the stress and tense feeling went away.

and meditation helps?

right now im fine, i have no stress and im not tense. but when someone mentions me anything about school/clinicals i all of a sudden get those feelings back. is this even anxiety?

Make a dr appointment...goggle ativan ,memorize the symptoms. Tell the dr "symptoms" you are feeling...You will soon be on ativan. 2 mg a night before bed works great...even if you have to say you have this friend who has the same problem and his DR gave him Ativan and he loves it kind of thing...

write down your thought and feelings when they occur, so when you speak to doctor you remember all of it..It may help and save you time...I hope you feel better soon...stay calm and positive.

1 more thing.. Make sure the DR you choose can prescribe meds..VERY IMPORTANT...

Take it easy

Like everyone said, if it keeps up see a doctor. I am on zoloft and it helps. I also keep some xanax around for after work when my mind won't stop running wild.

You just have to train yourself to remember that it is all in your mind, and YOU are in control of your mind. When things get tough, you just gotta keep your head up, stick your chest out, and handle it.
