How to reduce feeling of anxiety and be happy ?

@sameemalhotra
All these are treatable. Do you have access to a major medical facility? There are great medications out there today along with many things psychologically that can really help your symptoms.

It is just that your symptoms to me should be addressed by medical and mental health specialists. Please don't think recommending a psychological specialist is negative. It is positive measure to take. Mental health is just as important as physical health as both have profound affect on each other.

I see a psychiartry medication specialist at Mayo every 6 months. I see my PCP every 3 months. I also have many specialist I see there. They all work as a team for what is best for me both physical treatments and mental health treatments.

I am not a medical professional thus don't want to recommend something that could affect what is causing your symptoms negatively. It seems to me you have a over senstive response to heat but then you mention hot showers help. The causes of that are what medical professionals should determine.

So my suggestions is you really need to go to a good medical facility be very honest (like you have here) and let them help you. I did and I never regret doing so decades later.

Hi,
Jc76 is right. You do need to get medical attention in order to figure out what is wrong. It could be a minor issue and maybe not. When part of our body doesn't feel good, the rest of our body often reacts. Whatever is the problem with your body, you are young and have a good chance of recovering from the problem.

The other thing that you can do is pray. God made you and he can fix you! Just tell him what is wrong and ask for his help. Talk to him like he's your best friend, and he is!

I wish you the best! I'll say a prayer for you.

Thank you for responding. I have visited many doctors in the past and gone treatment for years. But the condition becomes bad. I had become lazy, in active, dull and unable to respond to my environment actively. My previous doctor was a disaster for me.
I suspect it’s something to do with my sensitive nervous system. But that’s my theory.

Can you suggest me an online mental/psychological/neuro specialist here whom I can talk to ?

(Because as you say I’ll be able to better understand my situation for the least)

Thank you.

I think what you suggested above can really help you. I don't have the resources to be able to get you that information.

I have tagged Colleen (Director of MCC) as she has vast knowledge on this and who and where to find that information. I tried to message her on this reply but there were a lot of Colleens that came up and not sure which one was her. So I tagged it to her. She is outstanding and a ton of knowledge to help.

@sameermalhotra Hello. I am jumping in to this discussion to ask a few questions so that I can hopefully provide you with some online resources.

I am in the United States and so I am familiar with how online mental health and psychological are licensed to provide the services you are asking about. Each state within the United States has their license and certification requirements and whether or not a mental health specialist can provide services across state borders is tricky.

I would like to provide you with resources in which the person is highly qualified and has a license/certification to practice. Where are you located?

I understand . My an xiety is thru the roof. Now I am unable to walk because I broke my ankle, so I feel like I am losing my mind. Hope you feel better you are not alone

Have you been examined by a neurologist and a sleep doctor. My similar conditions fell under their specialties. There has not been a cure for me but I have benefited from their treatments.

You say: "I have visited many doctors in the past and gone treatment for years. But the condition becomes bad. I had become lazy, inactive, dull and unable to respond to my environment actively."

The question in every healing process is: What will prevent me from not doing what is obviously Good For My Health?
After all all medication and professional or even help from a friend is only as good as how much WE will do Our Part -- the other Half of the equation for health and vibrancy.

In an 80 y.o. body I have some infirmities -- though I can walk briskly for 3 miles in an hour and walk all 13 floors in my apt bldg. So what makes me not "lazy" or "inactive" if you asked me, I'll say Not will power, Not even feeling good Afterwards, which does happen. It's: What do you want your life for: What is it that you wish to use your days on earth on? Also called purpose. It is this North star that guides me even day to day,steering my direction.( last night I woke up in the middle of the night, I asked: Is going to the Alzheimer's Society group the Best use of my 3 hours of my life today that I wish to lead in the general purpose of my life? Or there is an alternate way that will make me feel that I used my time on earth doing what I wanted out of my Limited life. It's the Purpose that I feel that energizes me at about every step in my typical 24 hrs.

Think about it this way: Even if someone said you'll be Healthy or Happy, one might still ask: What For?

For some this purpose is their family, for others community, and still others, the humanity.

I hope you find the Reason behind why a healthy fit body, often a result of healthy habits in food, physical activity, and quality social connection will help you get you what You want Out of Your Life.

So what do I do now ? Do I wait ? Will she contact me here at mayo ?
