Anxiety is trying to get the best of me ...

[pinkdrinksrule]

Had on going issues with anxiety
Different degrees
Scared to go out in the past etc
I suffer from pvcs (feel like missed heart beats )
Many tests over 12 years and it's all anxiety

The last week I've felt weird
Down ,sad,anxious
You know the knot in stomach feeling all day
My pvcs have started which I worry about then
get more
How do I not let it get the better of me?
Away for the night tonight so didn't sleep well with anxiety
Felt terrified in bed and pvcs
Thoughts
Oh my god what if i don't sleep I'll be ill
What if I pass out on train due to exhaustion
Obviously cue the pvcs going nuts
It's all anxiety
What can I do ? To stop this cycle I'm in
I've been okay
I won't let it beat me
I'm still going away
I won't pass out and I will have a good day

I’m the same and get the same missed heart beats. No advice other than to just keep pushing through don’t stop doing things because of it

@Gymmum82 it's horrible isn't it -I'm 39 now and feel like I've spent the last 10 years like this
Hope your okay :-)

@pinkdrinksrule yeah I’m 41 and mine seems to be getting worse if anything. I’m blaming peri menopause.
It’s horrible but I refuse to let it rule my life. Some days I don’t want to leave the house but I make myself. Sometimes it helps to just do normal things

Maybe this video on anxiety will help;

Learn proper slow deep breathing eg from yoga and practice practice practice. Learn to do the body scan twice a day morning and evening. If you calm down your body it will hopefully reverse the spiral of anxiety and calm your mind. Also look at CBT and build in lots if nature connections and exercise as much as possible. You can definitely improve things, this isn’t your whole,life. Good luck OP.
