Hey guys, im young im only 16, and for
about a year now, anxiety has been running
my life.. In the winter, I freak out
because of the noises of the house, I
always think someone is in the house, and
its hard to sleep at night. Lately i've
been having problems with the bathroom
too. It's hard for me to go out, because
everytime before I go out, I have to go to
the bathroom multiple times, and I avoid
eating so I dont have to go to the
bathroom. It is seriously effecting my
social life, im afraid to go on long car
rides because of this. Please help me
guide me in the right way to solving this
issue.
Thanks!

The best thing to remember, but the
hardest thing to do is remember
I dont have cravings, well I do, but
gaining weight isnt my problem, I dont
think this affects it but maybe, weight
gain is a problem! Its probably just my
metabolism since im a kid, but yeah going
to the bathroom so much could effect it.

I like what nawtaprioncess said about it
all being in your head. I worried about
everything until I learned how to change
the way I think and process things in my
head through cbt. The cbt book we used in
my group is short and straight forward
it's called been there, done that? Do
this! By sam obitz. See if your library
has a copy and give the tea form exercise
a try I think it will help you deal.

Hi,
i agree...It's all in your head.
Only you and your experiences can change
the way you think. A book called 7 habits
of highly effective people changed the way
I thought.
Every situation can be perceived
differently depending on your angle.
Teach yourself to see different facets and
you'll never be helpless.
Something happened that triggered your
state. Whatever you're doing....It's not
working....Try something else ;-)
and whatever you do.....Don't reach for a
magic pill. Medication is todays fog.
It's not a solution and not something you
should waste your precious time on.
You can do it.

Anxiety describes any feeling of worry or
dread, usually about events that might
potentially happen. Some anxiety about
stressful events is normal. However, in
some people, anxiety interferes with the
ability to function.
St. John's wort extract helps to maintain
a steady mood and promotes good mental
function in the treatment of anxiety
disorder. Hops extract and valerian
extract can act as a sedative and help to
cause sleep and lessen anxiety and
tension. Take valerian extract 30 minutes
before bedtime. Skullcap extract has been
used historically as a sedative for people
with nervous tension and insomnia which
may be helpful in the treatment of anxiety
disorder. Chamomile extract contains
active constituents that contribute to
smooth-muscle relaxing action. People
with anxiety disorder (also known as
nervousness, panic attacks) are often
deficient in essential nutrients,
including calcium, magnesium, b vitamins.
Zinc is an essential mineral that is a
component of enzymes that protect against
free radicals caused by anxiety whic may
be important in the treatment of anxiety
disorder.
