reading about it dont help it will just heighten your anxiety,the recorded deaths are tragic,but in comparrison to the success rate of themit do put it in to a prospective,just tell your fears to the person who is going to give you the needle ask any questions you need to ask and remember they cannot force you to have anything done that you dont wish to have done.
Have you tried focused slow breathing, walking, aromatherapy, acupuncture, massage, redirect by doing something?
Also...low Vitamin D3 and magnesium can contribute to anxiety and depression.
To overcome anxiety, one must understand the logic of why the brain is feeling threatened, it sends messages to the body saying its under threat. New pathways need to be created to overcome the old programming. So for example, if you panic over a fear of flying, you must start flying and let the brain realise that its all okay, and reprogram the thoughts.
However, the fear of dying can't really be practiced. Some buddhists meditate in a morgue as it is the closest we can get to dying.
I have developed a fear of heights that has interfered with my ability to enjoy my favorite winter sport...snow skiing. The anxiety produced when confronted with height creates what is near panic. The fear only exhibits itself primarily on the ground and outside.. I do not have a fear of flying in a jet airplane or inside tall buildings. It has become a real problem for me to enjoy skiing.
Oh my goodness, the fear of vomiting i have is that bad. I constantly try and evaluate the tiniest sickness i have and think i am going to vomit. Every time especially if i am in public or at work i just think of utterly embarrassing myself by freaking out so much and vomiting everywhere. Everyone looking at me, having no where to hide, getting it in my hair, choking on it. Dry reaching is the worst possible feeling i could ever imagine... Feeling like your eyeballs are about to pop...
the sensation of vomiting is too great to overcome....i afraid i would puke in front of them....so i choose not to eat with my friends lock myself from my friends......i haven't been outing for a long time....but when eating with families,it will be better but still there is nausea.....When i go on stage to perform ,the nausea feeling attacks me too......Even when my friends talk about outings and where to eat or discuss about food or when i think about food alone......
It is probably a mix of both mental and the pain causing this cycle. I am sorry you are going through this, I know you must be miserable. I would try to eat very small amounts of food that make you less nauseous, if you can handle these, then continue to add more food. If this does not work, I think I would see a gastro doctor. You can't go on feeling like this, as you know, it is not healthy. I am adding a link to our Gastroenterology forum, maybe they will have some ideas too.
scarlett11 Try a sleep app that has dozens of recordings of therapists telling you how to go to sleep. You get to select which one you want to listen to, and I often listen to the same recording for months.
Sometimes I fall asleep in the first few minutes but for that to work, I have to pay attention to what the speaker says.
My main set back is fear and stressing.
I was trying to get assurance on one symptoms, another symptoms I will pickup from the internet, like this cycle continuing, While browsing the anxiety I came across a word Variant Angina(which is without blockage, your arteries will go to temporary spasm/stop blood) I somehow manage to overcome this fear after lot of efforts but, one setback came, that, the way to diagnose is to hyperventilate the patient & do EKg. Since then i got more feared.
Chronic anxiety, social phobias, post-traumatic stress syndrome, etc. are normal parts of the day-to-day life, and it is necessary to learn how to get rid of them rather than living with them.
It's normal to get anxious before addressing a group of people or stress out before your first meeting with a new client.
That is how OCD works. That is why a psychologist who teaches cognitive behavioral therapy would be in your best interest. You really don't know how to counter these thoughts. You need to learn how to stop them when they start and not let them go on and on leading you to the catastrophizing thought. It is pretty amazing how our mind can latch on to something and trick us. That is what it is really...a trick of the mind that puts us at war with ourselves.
