Severe Stress/Anxiety/Insomnia

Please don't feel the added pressure of responding to each of our messages. An update or questions to all of us will work. It sounds as if from your description, you are in a rush of adrenaline gone out of control. Have you recently talked with a physician or mental health professional about how you are feeling? If not, you need to do so, even in the emergency room if you feel you're spinning out of control.

When my thyroid was hyperactive I felt like I was having panic attacks, was frightened, and was shakey all the time. You may want to suggest to your doctor to check your TSH and other thyroid labs, if they haven't already been checked. Do take action about how you're feeling. I hope you find some rest and relief for your anxiety soon. Wishing you the best.

Hi, @yangedd - just wanted to see how things went with the nurse? How is your sleep going and the feelings of panic and impending doom?

what you need to do is to stop the fright and flight mode and seek peace by regulating your breathing .by maintaining this hypervigilance you will drain your adrenal gland and to stop the hyper anxiety by the continuous flooding of your amygdala by epinephrine .the outset is to increase the anxieties and the tremors , I would strongly urge you buy essential oils of lavender and franckinscence and this chills u out and calms you down . Question are you drinking a lot of coffee that will increase the anxieties and are you eating ok and not eating a lot of lollies and coke . I would recommend drinking white tea and chamomile or peppermint tea . go for a vigorous walk or run if you can or a work out at the gym or punching bag or boxing classes

can you also tell your brain and to stop the hypervigilance and and circling your wagons .I usually tell my brain to stop and it yell at it and say its usless to circle my wagons

Hey people,

I had a very hostile and confrontational experience with my Psychiatrist yesterday. She was quite brazen in her insinuations. I did end up appealing them, of course but she is a woman who has her set thoughts.

I'm afraid I've once again resorted to cannabis to sooth my anxiety and sleep problems and it seems to be working. I'm a lot calmer and I'm also so creative.

Oh yeah. The nurse. I knew there was something. She did her best to reassure my horrific anxieties but she couldn't prescribe and I was left in a heap until I used the cannabis.

Ed

maybe mayo clinic connect can recommend psychologist or other pyschatrist even mentalhealth doctors need a change of medicos to assist you . question when you are on your weed are using cannabis oil or weed and how much or how many are u using perday and how long having you been managing yourself through cannabis

I wouldn't be a habitual user. Just something to take the edge off. A few spliffs to relax the mind and slow things down.

Ed

Just as a reminder: every habitual user started as an occasional user. It can happen rather slowly (and often) before you are really aware of it.

Hi, @yangedd - so sorry to hear about the very hostile and confrontational experience with your psychiatrist yesterday. That sounds very uncomfortable and unsettling. What are you thinking of doing for your psychiatric care in the future? Will you keep going to her?

Ed ,the reason I asked was to see what else may be adding to your anxiety levels and sleeplessness and I was curious and I also don't know what the contradictions between antipsychotic and a moodstabilser when you add in cannabis .
especially if don't know the level of active level of cannabis , with cannabis oil the narcotic side of the drug has been removed and only the pain management and calming side is left .that's why for people with chronic issues is strongly recommended to use cannabis oil and other essential oils first . I would like to know if anyone else in this group can help and inform me
