It's one of my worst issues. I have it due to the smallest reasons and it's just sort of a big part of my life now. I usually just try to tell myself that everything is good and I have no reason to be anxious.

Yes, I have it and it's terrible. Crippling, almost. It really holds me back in life.

Anxiety low key is ruining my life. The best thing you can do is talk to your doctor about getting help for it, and then maybe seeing a psychologist. I haven't met a psychologist who has helped me that much, but I'm not gonna give up cause I can't stay this way forever.

This helps. During moments when you're anxious, things aren't really as bad as they may seem; your mind is just playing tricks on you. Realizing that it's all in your head and telling yourself that nothing actually harmful or bad is happening helps me understand that everything's okay.

It's really bad when I have to talk to people. When I'm with a crowd without any of my friends, I literally stare at the ground the entire time and no one talks to me. So idk.

Same. I have social anxiety and it's the pits. I know how I feel is irrational but no matter how much I talk to someone about it it doesn't ever make me feel less apprehensive in social situations.

My anxiety has nothing to do with you, Anvari.

My sister's going through it right now in college. She hates being away from home and hates the dorm life. It's only her first year and her college is about an hour away (not that that's far). She was freaking out yesterday when she was leaving to go back so she came back home and now she wants to drop out I feel bad that it gets her upset to the point of tears but neither she nor my mom are willing to get her on medication. I know that it isn't the answer to everything but it's worth trying it. And it's frustrating as hell because she's smart and has potential. It all started when her doctor told her that her heart rate was high last December, and now she's paranoid as hell and gets worked up over nothing.

I bit my lips, pinch my skin etc. I have it bad at times.

I get anxiety when I get too stressed and overwhelmed at times when I lack of sleep.

Just stay coo and do not let your thoughts control you.

I've always dealt with anxiety. I HATE when it happens at work. I basically shut down and dont know what to do music and talking with people i'm close with are the only cures i know of.

Sometimes this works, but in my case, my anxiety usually reacts with my body by giving me intense stomach pain, which either involves me throwing up, or feeling seriously uncomfortable for as long as I'm anxious. I also developed psoriasis from my anxiety, and I have a patch on my neck that flares up massively whenever I'm anxious.

Yes I suffer with really bad anxiety and it causes me to get very bad migraines and head pressure.. Like I'm always in constant pain and anxious about it.. Doctors just want to prescribe more and more medication..

In my opinion, the best way to deal wit anxiety is to find your happy spot and to naturally rid it. Like I listen to Ke$ha, play a game, workout.. Just keep my kind occupied. That way there's less thinking and more occupying.

Good luck, hang in there and stay strong.

I just started a new job and I've recently noticed it coming up again really bad. Before work I get the worst feelings and have trouble concentrating and its just a mess

Its a production job and while its easy I don't know why it has me feeling some type of way, maybe its because its a heavy pressured job and it makes it get worse.

I deal with it on a daily basis Sometimes you just gotta fake it til you make. It helps

Sleeping well, working out and talking to a therapist is the best medicine

It feels like hell but is just a very easy thing to control once you know what's going on

I feel ya sis. Just keep at it. Don't give up!! It will get easier once you get more comfortable at that job

Ugh yes

I was supposed to go donate blood but they rejected me because I was so anxious that my blood pressure was through the roof

I get anxious about everything. Strangers, driving, tests, public speaking/performing, work, etc. I could go on forever...
