Anxiety?

[Mikeyboi49]

I know this has been discussed by qualtumleap but I wanted to make a new thread since my problem is a bit different...

Ok I have this problem where I feel I can't control my heart, like how do I explain it, I get anxious very easily sometimes even impatient, and the longer the wait is the more uncomfortable I feel, a few examples...

I played a puzzle game, snood in case anyone is wondering and that one night I couldn't clear it, the more I lost the madder I got and I got so mad that I made my heart very uncomfortable... actually since then is when I began having this thing on and off...

I am not sure if its my heart my mind or whatever but what is causing it? Anything at anytime can be a trigger to my problem, even as simple as waiting for a webpage to load if it takes longer then it should I feel uncomfortable...

This mornig in MS outlook I got a new email from my girlfriend, I went to open it and it had to download the content, as I was waiting it made me very unconfortable...

I think you guys get the pattern basically if things don't happen the way I expect it to happen my heart gets very uncomfortable and sometimes I have a hard time breathing... then some days I get by with no problem whatsoever, what is wrong with me? I hope I don't sound too confusing I hope someone have some good insights...

I might add its not about losing in general, I have lost several bets since I had this and it don't bother me in terms of my health, so its not about losing its just about not having something when its suppose to happen

Excercise 20-30 mins a day, eat at least somewhat right, drink plenty of water

No drinking, smoking or excessive caffiene


Simple stuff

These sound like effects from a larger issue, Rob's advice is great for anyone not just those with anxiety. I will post a larger response tonight when I have some time. Can you explain where the feelings start in your body? Do you feel it mainly in your chest, do you think of something unrelated to the task even for a moment that starts the triggers? When you realize you can't solve the puzzle or the download is taking longer than what you deem acceptable where does you mind go?

I knew a women who used to go into extreme fits when someone was even 5 minutes late, it turns out she would picture them in a car wreck, her mind would fixate on their limp body hanging out of the windshield. I don't think yours is as serious as hers but it is likely something unrelated to the what your are working on.

Oh well in terms of my mind it goes nowhere, I just get very mad and the pain is in the chest, its a on and off thing for example when I post this today I was feeling not so good but tonight I felt fine, so far I had several thing that started my pain...

First time was playing snood as I stated I kept losing and I got so mad I got myself pain...

Second time was when I was playing XBox 360 and played basketball, anyhow losing was ok but when I threw 3 straight times and got it turned over by a steal I got mad and got sick again, I went to bed and was better in the morning,

Third time was the email thing I told you I went to see the email but it was downloading content so I waited even though only severl sec it got me not well...

It can be anything, like losing don't make me sick I lost some money in gambling it don't give me problem, but when things don't happen like it should I get mad

Panic Attacks/ Anxiety: No cure. Can be controlled with xanax or the much less expensice generic (alprozolam).
Eventually will turn into worry about everyday simple things and those not so simple.
