Hi @Former-Member

I'm feeling very worried about you, im sorry you're in such a bad place. Don't forget that lifeline is there for you to call if you need extra support.

Is there anything that might help you right now? A cuppa, or something that will distract you?

LJ

probably not @Former-Member

ive tried a few things already and they dont seem to be working, i even went and layed down in bed as i was tired but bam here come all the thoughts and restless feelings 😞

i hate not having control over my own body when this happens

@Former-Member

do you find anyhting that stops the shaking, sweating, nausea or chest aches

I get the chest pain and shaking. I try to stop, and do breathing when it happens or ignore it and keep going with what im doing and tell myself its just anxiety. It is not a nice feeling. I've tried using smiling mind app for mindfulness meditations, but didnt help me much, though others have said it works for them.

@Former-Member

mindfullness doesnt really work for me @Former-Member

im trying to ignore it but it hangs arond for such a long time- it feels like a heart attack 😞

i really dont know how to cope with it anymore- ive been told im doing all the right things inclcuding being on antipsychotics and SSRIs.

its just so bloody hard

yes... thats what i get told too about doing the right things @Former-Member

Is there anything that has worked for you in the past?

lj

not really, only SH, but even thats short term.

im really considering trying to get my meds upped. i went from 40mg to 115mg in a week . i wish it would bloody work either that maybe i should just up the dose of my sleeping tablets tonight

gday @Former-Member I have been trying the breathing exercises and a tapping method called EFT it is where you tap on your face and body repeating statements. Scratching is one thing for me uncontrolled scratching. I tried cutting and biting nails but I had to stop that thought process, not continue that behaviour.
