This is nothing new, people have been having stress issues for quite some time. We live in a world where everything is taken for granted, we all have our dreams and wishes, yet many of us are far away from reaching those. Lots of us have to handle with financial crisis, debts, possibly bad atmosphere in our workplace, even worse in the family, as well.
There are many factors and many things that can raise our stress and not all of us can cope well with it.
I am currently going through a similar thing, although in my case, the stress comes from having to deal with some of the reasons I have stated above and as well having panic disorder and agoraphobia & to spice it up a bit more, heart issues. And I'm only 26.
Here's the thing. When I first started experiencing this, I felt terrible. I thought there is no end to it, I had quite a severe panic attack which led to so many bad body sensations that in times it was unbearable.
What I was doing wrong from the very start, I was forcing myself to think this is not stress, this is not panic disorder, I am not that weak to have such issues.
That was where I was wrong. With time I realized I had to accept my state and start dealing with it.
What did that mean? Well, first, exposure. I was hiding it from everyone, even my family in hope that it would eventually pass, but it only made it worse. So I started telling my family first. After some time, I let some of my friends know what I am going through. Soon after that, I have decided to go and meet certain therapists. A lot of people immediately relate that to be bad, you might be mental, they start labeling you. It was one of my fears as well. Being labeled for a problem that isn't really a problem. It is just a part of me and my brain that forces me to have bad thoughts and looking it from scientific side, your body gets filled with unneeded hormones.
My next step was to finally accept that not even regular therapies weren't helping at that time and I needed medications to ease my mind. And now, months later, I am still under the same medications, yet I feel perfectly fine when it comes to my mental state, although I haven't completely got rid of my problems.
This is where lot of people make a mistake. If you are having mild depression, stress or similar issues you might get some pills. There are various types of pills, and not all of them just numb you completely. I still feel the same, I am still the same person, I am sane, but I have changed my views on said situation.
I am not encouraging you to take pills if you can cope with situation, but simply saying that they can help you. In the end it is completely your decision and shrink's as well, since he will try and find the best solution for your current situation.
My next step to getting rid of panic itself was to live with it. I have read many articles about this and I have never really knew what they wanted to say. But it is actually really simple. It is not a diseases, it is not dangerous. It is just your mind playing games with you and thinking it's funny. To deal with such issues you usually just go to the place you don't really find comfortable and just try to cope with it. You may not succeed from the first try, but if you keep doing it, eventually you will find it easier and easier to cope with it.
Another thing that helps me relax is playing table tennis. Exercising in general releases lots of bad substances that could have been inside your body, especially if you don't work out at all. And after a nice round of whatever sport or exercise you did, lie down in the bath and just enjoy the moment.
