Talk about our anxiety here. Maybe we can find something that works or at least help each other out with it.

Personally my anxiety is GAD. I feel on edge all the time even when there’s nothing to be anxious about. It’s a curse. Currently on propanlol and invega to experiment.

My anxiety has calmed down. It used to be a huge complaint for me.
But vaping and coffee were big culprits.
I also take broccoli sprout extract and L-theanine now.

My biggest complaint with my anxiety is the physical symptoms it gives me. It makes my breathing really bad, heart palpitations, a nervous jittery feeling through out my entire body.

Propanolol does nothing for my anxiety. Sucks cause an old mental health worker that I used to catch up with talked propanolol up so much. I expected it to be the be all and end all haha.
My anxiety problems have been pretty bad for years now. The antipsychotics make my social anxiety a lot worse for me. I think partly because a lot of my fears revolve around seeming like an idiot or slow in the head around other people. And the meds kinda make that a reality in some ways haha. The other factor I think is my lifestyle. I dont get out much and dont really have friends these days. So im out of practice.
But its not so bad! Sometimes i feel super lucky with my life. So many good things about it despite the anxiety and stuff!

I take 80mg fluoxetine and clonidine 0.1 mg and it’s helping me. My anxiety was so bad before. I also take 20mg of olanzapine, so it helps too.

I have anxiety all the time but the pdoc has only said i have a lot of general anxiety , not a official dx
Im trying to minimise the diazapam and come off it because of breathlessness sometimes recently. And the calming effect it has only lasts a couple of hours so its barely worth taking it anymore. I used to take it for suicidal thoughts when i was at breaking point but these new Ads have dampened down those thoughts
Nothing works for my anxiety ….

Sometimes, quite often, i just let the anxiety float through me, then it comes back, but then again i let i float through me, like waves coming and going. If i notice the anxiety, grib it and think about it, it tends to grow

Honestly, my GAD is probs worse than my sz.
It’s a constant battle. I’m prescribed Ativan, but I don’t like to take it often. I use music and micro dose with flower to help me

I developed inner peace overall, which solved my fear/anxiety

The only thing that consistently lowers my anxiety (and improves my mental health overall, especially depression) is riding my recumbent stationary bike. I wear headphones when I ride, which are synced to my iPhone. I bike 10 miles, and the first 5 miles are hard, but then, just like a fever breaking, the anxiety and depression go away, and the rest of the ride feels great, probably due to my brain releasing endorphins (hormones).
