Anxiety again

[anitagreen]

Hoping someone could give me some advice or to tell me successful stories on being rid of anxiety?
I've had it for years it never used to bother me at all, except this year it really has.
I've had moments where it's gone but it's been back for months now and I'm just fed up of it, I don't want to die, I know I won't loose control, I know it's just anxiety but I am tired now of it bothering me every day lately without fail, I've got 9 weeks till my cbt starts & ive just ordered some 5htp as I heard that's brilliant for it. But until then what can I do? I am tired of constantly thinking about it, worrying endlessly, reading up on it, even talking to people about it as it's so boring now. I want to live and enjoy my life but I'm wondering how that's possible with this? It never used to bother me before and I've had it for years but these days it does?
I'm wondering if because I know what anxiety is now? X

Hypnotherapy helped me, but CBT definitely helped me too. You'll see that once you can begin to think differently, and to perceive things differently, it will make a big difference. Cutting down on sugar/caffeine helps me a lot, and running is good for me too. And telling your anxiety to bog off, you don't bother me sometimes helps too. Hang in there, once you've talked to your therapist about it, things will get better. I found that talking to friends/family made me sometimes feel worse. I take magnesium and evening primrose, and drink chamomile tea when I feel jittery.

@DoingMyBest2010 thank you for the reply. And I've noticed talking to friends and family etc do make me feel worse because they simply don't get it.
I think my anxiety isn't triggered by anything it just seems to be there in the back ground ready to go?. I am really tired of it now. I do eat a lot of sugar and drink a hell of a lot of tea. I don't do any exercise at all and I can go to bed between 2-3am-11am. I'm wondering if I overhaul all this maybe I'll feel better. It's just the fear of what if I can't get over this anxiety and it ends up just taking my life?. I don't want to go anywhere or to die etc. X

this is what my hypno therapist sent me years ago, it did help me at the time, in between sessions. It might be jumbo-mumbo to some people, but to me it was a nice thing to do when i was at home. I'm not a spiritual person, but gave it a try and I liked it.

Also, she recorded hypnotherapy sessions, for me to listen to at night on my iPod. they really sent me into a really relaxed state of mind.
