Hi Sebastien75,

I read your post and I just want to say you're not alone. Look at the "problems" some other people on the forum have. Maybe, it will help you feel better when you think that it is not just you feeling this way. I've had stress problems on and off for 30 years, and since my mother died last year, my brother and his family, who don't live anywhere near me, don't give me much support. I'm dealing with my problems as best as I can alone, but it's not easy. Sometimes I feel as if I can't go on anymore, but I try to take it day by day. Please don't consider "hurting" yourself. Try to "live" life on day at a time, and find someone to talk to like a minister or a therapist or a "close" friend if you have one. Some days are better than others, but hang in there. Know that there are people here on the forum who care about the problems you are facing. Take care. You are in my prayers. Remember, don't hold it inside. Talk to someone!

Sounds like a bit of depression happening here.

Have you been overworking? Been in a stressful environment for a bit too long? Too much pressure?
Is your body perhaps trying to tell you something.

High stress or continuous pressure sometimes has this affect on people. Nothing to worry about. Try to concentrate on the things that might have caused it instead of concentrating on your sense of internal distress. See if you can make some changes and alterations in your lifestyle. Get some needed rest, relaxation, quiet time alone. Sometimes we try to take on too much. If you've overcome this before, you can be sure that it will pass with some time and patience. Try not to concentrate on the negative feelings. Concentrate on your need for some well deserved rest from this fast paced life and environment.

If you make a big deal of it, it will become a big deal.
Look at this as an "opportunity" to justify to yourself some down time.

Sebastian,
I am really sorry to hear that you have been feeling so badly. You are suffering from severe anxiety and possibly panic attacks and depression.

So, I would love to share my story of recovery with you.

I am now 46 years old. I became agoraphobic and lived in a constant panic attack for 21 years of my life. Of course, depression always accompanies these attacks.

The attacks were soooo severe that if someone had a loaded gun to my head, I could not have been more terrified!!!

I read every self-help book that I could find to no avail. I wasted 21 years of my life, and that is really sad.

I ordered the program from the StressCenter.com just before I turned 40. I worked daily, nonstop, to overcome my fears, anxieties and depression. I was determined to do everything within my power to get over this disorder.

Within, 2-3 months of receiving the program, I was out doing things, that I never-ever dreamed I would be able to do.

That has been a little over 6 years ago, and, I can say that I no longer live my life in fear. I am sooo spontaneous, and get out and live my life to the fullest. I live in the moment, and I make the most of my moments!!!!

There is hope...trust me on this one...Just do the program..Give it your all and all!!!

If you have any further questions, feel free to ask....May God Richly Bless You Is My Prayer

Hi Sebastien75,
keep remembering you are not alone. Millions of us are out there just like you. The first session on anxiety is a great help. Think, I am safe, I am at peace, I am not going to die. This too shall pass. I am one who runs away when I feel like this around people. Since this is my first day on the program I am still waiting to use this technique. I will be sure to share it with you. In fact just this morning I was getting upset and I started saying outloud to myself; I am safe, I am at peace, I am okay, then I started smiling.

That is what I am going through right now , i thought my anxiety was gone and now its back but stranger than ever. I wont go into detail about the things I think I hate this so much and I know how easy it is for us to read or hear something and then grab onto it , but rest assured , you are not alone. I know that the thoughts are not true so why am I worring about it . I have discussed this with my husband many times and the thoughts I have do not scare him. I think alot about life and why we are the way we are , to generalize it a bit . But the feeling is so deep I cant put it into words. I will pray for you and me.
