Hi Stina,

I understand you PERFECTLY, you don't know how much. Valeriana has helped me a lot and I started power yoga too, and although it's hard and I'm not in a very good shape, it also helps. I don't know other people, but having a pet and playing with it has been very good for me too... Drink lots of green tea too (in Starbucks they make one called Zen, with mint, delicious!). I hope you feel better soon

Stina i am sorry that you feel this way. When do you feel the attacks happen.Is there any trigger? Is the whole immigration stuff bothering you? You are not alone so hang in there.

I have attacks daily now due to the stress of the immigration process.

I am so tired of feeling sick! These anxiety attacks are started to kill me! I am havinng one on average a day, sometimes two or three! I have been to the doctor who has told me to write it all down, ways to keep my mind from racing and to stop worrying about EVERYTHING! IT'S NOT WORKING ! Once i start to feel better, i get another one and i feel like ####### all over again! My chest and muscles hurt from all the strain of not being able to breathe properly, backaches, insomnia, headaches, abdominal pain, nausea, no appetite, the list goes on. I dont know what to do!

I just want to be normal again.

I'm sorry, but I just really needed to let this out somewhere.

I'm sorry for that and I know what you are going through. I was taking medication for anxiety (Lexapro) after my divorce 4 years ago and it helped me manage the stress during trying times. I hope you'll be open to doing so. Chemically speaking, you're out of balance and even if that imbalance is primarily caused by stress, if you're to the point that it's inhibiting your ability to get through an average day, it's time to take medication for it. Read up on the medication so you will not be worrying about any long term effects and fear that your body will become dependent on the medication. Once you've got the anxiety to a manageable level, then start doing the things the doctor tells you. Exercise has been the best way for me to calm my nerves and there's some truth in that your body releases endorphins when exercising. Next to that, I have to get plenty of sleep. If I'm overtired, I can't deal with stress at all and it's snowball effect because then when I'm stressed I can't sleep. It will get better, I promise.
