New to the site & also opening up!

Good morning everyone... This is my 1st time writing a blog ever! And new to this website… so not really sure if anyone will read my post. It’s 5:46 a.m.. think I’ve only slept for 1 hour. Tonight has to be one of the worse nights. For the past 3 months I’ve been having such bad anxiety, stress and depression. I’ve gone through a few rough years and I think everything just build on my shoulders until finally my feelings exploded. It’s been rough.. I’ve had so many panic attacks these past few months I’ve lost count. Tried so many antidepressants they were all a fail. To be honest they brought on panic attacks ever since I haven’t taken any I haven’t got an attack. Just dealing with these unbearable anxiety symptoms… chest tightness and discomfort… a little pain…sometimes hard to breathe… (has gotten somewhat better) ehh and I’ve been clenching my jaw so bad at night & during the day. The muscle tension in my chest is the worse. I can handle the one in my back and the tightness.. I just get afraid with the tightness and sensations in my chest. I’m trying so hard to beat anxiety. Been researching so much and trying little things.. but it can be so debilitating. Never in a million years did I think I would go through this. Don’t wish this on anyone! This has to be the hardest thing I’ve ever gone through & trust me I’ve been through ALOT! I can’t wait for the day that I can look back at this and think I beat it… I’m healthy, I am fine, and most of all I AM HAPPY! I know I can’t give up and I have to fight! I hope & I pray that the month of October will be a better month. So stay strong!

I think it’s all the events I’ve been through I never really got to vent or cry it out. I’ve always been very strong and held everything in.

Thank you so much for your input I’m going to try that! Means a lot! Motivates me that I can get passed this.

Your welcome. Tears I have heard, are helpful in healing so just let it out. Many people feel a need to vent and cry when going through tough times. Holding one's emotions locked away inside is not very healthy though with certain emotions like anger, there is a right way and wrong way to express it. Many times in expressing anger I have over expressioned it in that I would snap on someone and say words I regretted. I have noticed at least once when after I had raised my voice in anger, my chest began to hurt. My reaction likely produced stress and this stress caused pain. It wasn't dangerous but certainly did not feel good either.

welcome have a good day and god bless you

  Hey AyeAna!
  I think it's great that you opened up like that. It can't have been easy for you. I assume you have been diagnosed as having panic attacks by a proper physician, and have also had bloods & investigations done to check your panic attacks aren't from anything else? Angina can cause chest pain & anxiety etc along with other things too.
  Hope you're going OK today anyway. Looking forward to helping you in any way I can. I'll say a wee prayer for you.
• Great to have you here!
  Cheers
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

Hi and welcome to CC. It always helps to surround yourself with God's own advise, whatever the issue is. We may have facts but His Word is the truth over us. Find Scriptures like ' He has given us a sound mind', 'Be of good cheer' 'We have the mind of Christ' and so on and put them on post-its around your home.. Remember what Jesus did for us 'Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. ' God bless.

Hello, and welcome to CC. I don't know how much more I can offer that has not already been said honestly (great advise that had already been given).
Only thing I would say that maybe head not already been said is this. In my life, I have learned that while it is great to be strong for others, it is a strength I have been blessed with as well. And it is a noble thing, as many are in need of that strength in dire times. Great to be there for others, but I would tend to forget i did not own a Cape, lol. Which is to say that sometimes you have to remember that (like you did today) it's not only ok to all for help, but needed. And to make the time to be there for yourself to, otherwise it can let it over whelm you. There is one that can carry those that we help and us through everything, Jesus. But we should be there and often as possible for others, helping each other through things and letting God's light and live shine brightly into this world ...
I will pray for you. Hang in there. Exercise is a great and healthy way to get out extra energy to and if you don't have one, aside from the obvious dealing whatever might be the cause of the issues causing you the anxiety, find a hobie or something fun to unplug for a while and enjoy life so that it is not all just a heavy weight on your shoulders. 🤗🙃🙂

Your welcome, glad to have been some help🙂. Life a lot of times is in how we deal with things! You are on the right track, I hear it in your reaching out for others help, in your responses to everyone who has responded to you. God is leading you and carrying you through this ... your gonna be ok. One foot in front of the other, step by step...🙂
