Need help, anxiety has complety destroyed my life.?

By admin

I’ve had anxiety now for almost two years, and its only gotten worse and worse. I have no idea where to start. In 7th grade I started noticing depression and started seeing the school counselor. Im not sure if I was really depressed, I think just sad because of girl troubles. the counselors called me depressed and i think i might of just started thinking i was. in 9th grade i started drinking, and smoking pot and was having too much fun to even think i was depressed, so i kinda forgot about it, but during this whole time i was fighting with my dad when i was home (ive actually its been like this my whole life, it just started to get worse around that time because i was actually fighting back.) But he has always basically called me a piece of shit, telling me im not good at anything i;ve tried. but i think this stuck with me. but back to the drugs, i eventually got arrested, and that sorta lead my parents to a divorce, he moved to the house across the street that we bought awhile back (long story), and still continoued to come over and yell at me or my mom. But after being on probation my life got worse because everything sorta came back and bit me in the ass. All my life i;ve sorta repressed stuff, still do. i eventually started doing drugs again, first dxm, then lsd, then back to marijuana. got off probation started smoking marijuana again and this is where things sorta get hazy. i eventually got arrested again quit smoking again but a month or so later i smoked it once and this was the first night i noticed signs of anxiety, and then everything went downhill. I continoued smoking pot, i do not why, and the anxiety only got worse, i had no idea what was going on. took lsd a few more times and i was fine except for the occasional moment of fear, then i smoked meth a few times, i know im an idiot it was the only thing that calmed the anxiety, but eventually one day after being up all night from smoking meth, i bought some lsd to take on new years, and turned out to be the worst night of my life. i had an extremely "bad trip", it was extreme panic attack, sometimes it seems like everything i had repressed was pouring out. but i freaked everyone out, i was extremely embarressed, and ever since ive isolated myself from the world. sometimes i think i had panic disorder, or social anxiety, or ocd, or just general. i fit all the descriptions. Its almost turned to insanity, with dillusions, hallucinations. i barely have the abilty to speak to people. I basically stay in bed all day. im scared leaving the house. i think everyone is judging me, looking at me like im insane, im afraid of having another "panic" episode in public. any advice would be great.

i feel youuu! i’ve had depression since i was 13, i’m 17 now and i’ve had anxiety for a year or so.
i basically live in my bed. it sucks. i’m sorry i’m no help, hopefully someone will reply with some great advice for us both! that’d be great.

i hope things get better for you<3

View the post about AGORAPHOBIA at http://your-mental-health.8m.com/blank_25.html Take at least 4 Omega 3 fish oil supplements, or the recommended dose of a high quality of fish oil daily, like Carlsons, or Melrose: (certified free of mercury) it is best if consumed with an antioxidant, such as an orange, or its FRESHLY SQUEEZED juice. If vitamin E is added, it should be certified as being 100% from natural sources, or it may be synthetic: avoid it! Vegetarians: Google: "Omega 3; algae; supplies" and use with flaxseed. Use the http://www.mercola.com * SEARCHBAR. Dr. J Cannell, at http://vitaminDcouncil.org recommends 20,000iu of vitamin D3 daily, with frequent testing to ensure levels of at least 100nmol/l are maintained, for psychosis, and then reduce to around 5000 IU daily (Dr. Mercola recommends 5000 IU to 8000 IU for most healthy people). Dr. Kim, at http://www.drbenkim.com holds similar views. FOR PEOPLE NOT SUFFERING FROM PSYCHOSIS (HALLUCINATIONS & DELUSIONAL STATES): Dr Mercola, at http://www.mercola.com advises: in the winter months, if not getting sufficient daily exposure to strong light, go to a doctor and ask for a 25(OH)D, also called 25-hydroxyvitamin D, blood test. When you get the results, don’t follow the typical “normal” reference range, as these are too low. The OPTIMAL value that you’re looking for is 45-52 ng/ml (115-128 nmol/l)". The company which tests your levels has to be one of those using the correct form of test, and this topic is addressed via the searchbar at Mercola.com - "vitamin D3; testing".

View http://drbenkim.com/vitamin-d-facts.htm & http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2008/12/16/my-one-hour-vitamin-d-lecture-to-clear-up-all-your-confusion-on-this-vital-nutrient.aspx 59% of Americans are deficient in the extremely important vitamin D3, with their lowest levels occurring in late winter, and early spring. People with the lowest levels are 11 times more likely to suffer depression (psychosis can occur with major) depression. Dr. Cannell advises that the co-factors most often deficient in the American diet, and necessary to optimise its absorption, and utilisation are magnesium, zinc, boron, and vitamin K2. I recommend using either health food/vitamin stores, or Googling: " … ; supplies" rather than risking any old, or substandard products at supermarkets, or even on pharmacy shelves. Vitamin A and vitamin D3 compete for absorption using the same metabolic pathway, so I no longer recommend cod liver oil as a source of either. Take the 2 separately, at least a few hours apart, if using both, but most people don’t need vitamin A if eating a reasonably healthy, balanced diet. The Omega 3 and vitamin D3 will act as preventatives for a wide variety of disorders and diseases, both physical and psychological, as well as boosting your immune system, and are 2 that most people in Western countries are deficient in, so I suggest that you recommend them to others as well. The best dietary source of vitamin K2 is natto.

HOME TEST KITS: http://www.zrtlab.com/vitamindcouncil/ 10,000iu/daily is generally regarded as safe daily upper limit for vitamin D3, although some people may need 3 times as much, and it is worth checking AFTER you have been using effective strength supplements for 3 months to make sure you have achieved as safe level according to Dr Mercola’s suggestions. Test every 6 months in late winter, and late summer. Kindly award BEST ANSWER to jaylea :) who doesn’t permit email.

It’s time to talk to a counselor about your problems. Using drugs does nothing but make the pain come back with a vengeance. You need to talk about your problems with a Health Care Professional.

Anxiety can easily go unseen when using alcohol or drugs. Once you "sober up" to speak then it hits you and it seems to get worse. I can tell you if you don’t "face it" now, it will get worse and many people will become very hermit like if you aren’t already. Some ppl can’t even talk about it w/o getting anxious. As hard as it is you need to face your fear. Go into social places and if it gets too bad walk out. Then do it again over and over until you realize nothing is going to happen. Secluding yourself is the worst thing to do. Actually I just read the end and you are already there. To me it sounds like social anxiety and panic disorder. You aren’t insane. Sometimes this happens when you have things happen early in your life and aren’t properly dealt with and you cover it up w/drugs or alcohol. There are breathing treatments you can do as well. With these it is basically like taking a hit of weed. You take a deep breath in and hold it for 3-5 seconds and release. The other thing is when you do go some place, focus on what you need to get. If you have to get a pop from the gas station, keep repeating in your head I just need to get a pop and say it over and over again. This will keep you focused and not focus on the paranoia you are experiencing. You can also go to the doctor and there are things they can prescribe for anxiety. Some are addicting so use your best judgement and if you have addictive tendancies then I would suggest the breathing treatments and some relaxation methods and definately exercise. If you don’t like to see people, start going jogging at night when people aren’t out. By exercising you will also see a big change! I know that it is an awful time you are going through but just know there is hope and it can be fixed!
