I'm 29 Years Old And I feel Like Crap All The Time!!!

I once had panic attacks as well... I had to over come this and by doing so I had to go and see someone.. I am not saying you must but that is an idea or even talk to you husband about what's on your mind and believe me it will help you alot.. The last thing you need is this, Cause it will make you sick and it will make you tired.. Have you talked to your doctor about any of this stuff that is happening to you right now? If not I'd highly suggest you do.. Sometimes that can help as well... I guess all I am really saying is talking to someone can make a world of difference... I hope this helps...

Hi..I read this from dailyword.com, and i just want to share it with you, praying that it would help you in a way.. Prayer provides clarity concerning any situation. Knowing that I am one with God, I know, too, that every life-affirming thought is a prayer. As I think positive, healing thoughts, my mind and body respond in positive, healing ways. Breathing, when done in an awareness of God's presence, is a prayer. As I exhale, I release all concerns. As I breathe in, I take in the very breath of life and realize the power and energy of God's presence more fully. It is as though a light has come on in my mind, revealing my wholeness of mind and body. I hold thoughts of God's healing energy as I pray for others also. I see every person I pray for aglow with health. One with God's healing energy, we are filled with and expressing new strength and vitality. "THEN YOUR LIGHT SHALL BREAK FORTH LIKE THE DAWN, AND YOUR HEALING SHALL SPRING UP QUICKLY." ISAIAH 58:8

Firstly, I think before you do anything else - you will need to address your current health and mental issue. I think you will need to be fully aware about your conditions by that I mean doing lots of reading up on how to manage your condition either via books or online. You will also need to understand about your medication you are taking - especially note those side effects if any. You should try to avoid situations for your anxiety disorder and needless to say the importance of family support and understanding here will do a lot of good for your recovery. Your medication for IBS should not be missed and if there's any reaction please do not hesitate to consult your specialist. Please be careful with your diet while managing your condition. As for your venture into starting a family, I think you should approach your partner and have a talk, be honest with your feelings and anxieties that you are faced with at this moment. If possible delay it a little till you are manageable and stress free. Just take things 1 step at a time, I am sure your partner is understanding and most of all loving enough about your condition and you. Try not to keep all to yourself.

Perhaps a new hobby can help? Maybe something to get your mind diverted a bit, the mind does need its diversions. You may also have to let it all go. Its hard to describe how to do this as people work differently. Maybe sit down with your thoughts and no distractions. If that doesn't sound right, maybe sit outside, or read a book, anything like that to temporarily detach and relax. Other than that you don't sound abnormal, and this maybe a phase, at least in my view.

sassy I am a senior citizen now but I went through panic attacks a number of years back and also irritable bowel syndrome. I found that if I kept my cool I could go for days without myh ibs flaring up and also I began to change my diet to have more veggies and fruits and lean meats and lo dairy and whole grains and nixed all prepared foods that had additives in them as they trigger my IBS. I feel for you as I know just how awful IBS can be. check yourdiet for additives and food coloringsas a lot ofthose can trigger IBS. I learned how to deep breathe to control my panic attacks but there are so many other things that doctors now days can do for panic attacks. I used to get so I thought I was going to pass out from breathing so fast but somehow I quit having them. I did use a lot of multi vitamins but do not know if that was what stopped the panic attacks. my best wishes to you and hope things get much better.

mam dont worry for every problem there will be a solution....god..the almighty will take care of his children....dont worry u will have a very beautiful family....i will pray along with my friends for the sake of ur family may god bless u and ur family...!

I am so sorry, I wish I could help and give you some good advice. I am sorry for what your mom is going through, I can't imagine how rough this is for you all. I too, am having a rough time with other things, more trivial than what you are going through but still bad enough. Try not to worry about starting a family right now if you feel you are not truly ready. Is there anyway you can go away for a few days with your husband?

Actually may be your recurrent disease has made you like this. do not always just panic.think there are so many people who are very very sick and still they lead a so called normal life. its their will power. Think why can't you do the same? Will power will help you a lo0t to overcome all these.

I feel for you, well I hope you could overcome these problems you have right now with your mother's health and your own personal problems. I guess if I were you I try to find a calm place for you to rewind and meditate. What you need is a space where you wouldn't think all of those problems and just be with yourself. Start thinking positively and try to enjoy what you have right now. Like you mother be especially close to her and you husband see the beauty in him and appreciate him more and love him more. Think of all those good things that is happening in your life feel them no matter how small they are and once you took notice of them you'll see amuch brighter world than where are are right now.

I'm sorry that you're experiencing this... Whenever I'm in a situation wherein I feel so helpless I do lots of meditation yoga and of course prayers. I hope it helps. I know and I perfectly understand how it is to live a life without peace of mind. I'm really hoping you all the best. Good luck.

I really understand where you're coming from! Life can get you down... the thing is, you have to take control. I agree with the other posters who said exercise and get outside -- that's key. But also pay attention to what you eat, especially since you're trying to get pregnant. Make a solid rule to go as simple as possible with foods, which means, no processed stuff -- you can easily tell what's OK and what's not OK if you just read your food labels at the store and dismiss anything that has ingredients you don't recognize or can't explain. There's a theory out there about all the chemicals and additives and flavorings in foods, that these really wreck your body chemistry, get you addicted to more chemicals and generally drag you down. Organic is more expensive but much better for you, and chances are you won't waste any of the organic stuff. I have turned my life around by cutting out fast food, sodas, processed food and artificial anything. My skin and hair look 100% better, and I feel like a million bucks. Drink lots of pure water too!

I'm sorry if you feel like crap. You are not alone is all I can say. I feel like crap all the time too. And just like you, I am a stay-at-home wife and worried about getting pregnant. Good for you, you are only 29 yrs. old, I'm already 43 so your chances of getting pregnant is big. I'm sorry about your mom too. I've taken care of my sick mom too for 8 long years before she passed away. Sometimes our mind makes us sick. It has been told over and over again that a sick body is the result of a sick mind. You have to understand that our mind is too powerful that it can move mountain. So maybe you can use your mind to it's full advantage. Be positive. Instead of thinking that you will get sick, condition your mind to the opposite. I know it is better said than done but it takes practice. You have to train yourself to see the silver lining behind the clouds. Anxiety will not be there unless you allow it. I am not an expert but I experience this too. I tried not to think about my situation a lot and it helps me. You are doing alright now as far as I can tell because being able for you to discuss this here, it means that you are in accpetance of your weaknesses and it's the start to the way of recovery. Just hang on and take everything one day at a time. Count your blessings and ask for more. God's grace is unlimited. Don't focus on the negative, it is there for you to appreciate the positive. I will be praying for you.

I can definitely relate to your being afraid. I am practically in the same situation - it's my 30th year, I have a husband and no kids, ya know just a whole lot of uncertainty - which causes the anxieties and stuff I think. I don't know how the prescriptions and things work, as I've never used them. But I can tell ya that you are not alone when you feel like it's all spiraling. When people say turning 30 was worse than turning 40, I can totally understand, though I've yet to turn 40 hehe. Best wishes to you, your mother, and your peace of mind (-;

I think you should go easy about yourself,don't so much pressure on you.You need some exsise outside,I suggest you take joging in consideration,or any sports you like.Sports help us stay positive in life and have a nice body. I like this motto,the devil is in your mind .You must overcome your evil in your heart first .Don't take it too seriously ,try to imply yourself: I am good girl ,I love life,I can overcome everyting,I have everything,and so on. You must have faith.I belive you can be good ,you can overcome all the bad things. Best wishes!

I think you need to exercise your mind gradually.Don't be so worry about your situation. In my opinion, you should go outside and enjoy the sunshine and think of something positive. You are a beautiful girl and you have already had a family. Everything will be okay. Occasionally you need to do some exercises for your body.If you keep your optimistic attitude toward future, any bad current event will be overcame.God bless you!

Instead of seeing a regular generic psychiatrist, try seeing a neurologist! GENERALIZED anxiety only means they don't know where it comes from. You could potentially have a real mild random firing off of neurons in the part of the brain that hits the limbic system, which causes a "fight or flight" response..that you feel as anxiety and the other things you described! A neurologist can tell with an EEG! (I know. Used to be a therapist and have seen this? -But am retired now.) There are MD's known as Neuro-Psychiatrists..or a regular neurologist can help, (your insurance will cover them,)that deal in Neurological medical issues that can come out in feelings? If you do NOT have this, the neurologist/MD can tell and you can just do what you are? But what's to lose? A psychiatrist does not tend to run this test and just gives medicine, but you may need a different kind the NEURO-psychiatrist can prescribe to control the neurons! It's mild..but you'd feel better! -Worth a look? The reason I mention it is because it can be triggered by all you are going through. If not..at least you will know? But if so..the best medicine may be something that fits better and fits like a key in a lock for you and then it's worth it! Just another option! Know you do have other options and you'll be great! (Why suffer?!)
