I was told the Swine flu outbreak triggered it.cant't sleep at night, keep thinking ive got something wrong with me even though I've been to numerous different doctors, so much thoughts running through the brain. Even in Paris I was gettin stupid thoughts. Absoloutely f**kin headwrecking I must say. Anyone here ever have this and how do you cope? |

Yeah I would stay away from medication esp for somethiling like anxiety. Medication is a chemical solution to a chemical problem. Here the problem seems to me more cognitive so your solution will have to be cognitive. Couple of things, avoid alchol for a while, try to excersise a good bit if you can as he gets rid of adrenaline and off if you have too much of it, and it has no where to go it turns into anxiety. Also try to eat well and get plenty of sleep. So thats a starters, but also try looking into maybe seeing a counsellor that you can trust and you are comfortable with, and if they are doing their job they will explain its totally natural and give you the physical explanation as well as the mental one behind the issue you are having. Best of luck with it. ------------- AKA pedantic kunt |

Do you take cocaine, Ecstasy or any other type of "high" drugs? Back in his younger wilder days Gouldinho used to experiment  a lot and then when anything stressful came up i would freak out n sh*t.

Basically, my mind can sometimes try to trick me into thinking or believing something I haven't even thought about or done. I could know full well in my mind that I didn't think or say something but yet with anxiety it will try drag me down or trick me into thinking awful. ------------- "He drives two Ferraris; I think he's a very lucky lad to have 50 caps for Ireland," Eamonn Dunphy on Glenn Whelan |

Suffer from it myself. Can get worked up over simple things such as lodging money in a bank or ordering something from a deli. It sometimes would manifest itself into paranoia, such as I'd lock the door of my apartment and be walking to college or town but suddenly ask myself did I actually lock the door or did I leave something on? I would agonise over going back to check or just making sure I got to class on time but it would plague my mind until I got back when all would be grand. I know it doesn't help when I'm feeling depressed cause it would stifle any motivation to go out and interact with anyone or do anything. ------------- You don't know Bo? 2018 YBIG Fantasy Football Champ! |

I can relate to your issues judging from what you've said in regard to a locked door or lodging money into the bank, but mine is more so the mind trying to trick me into feeling low or worrying about stupid things that probably didn't happen or won't happen. Feel as low as can be right now, over worrying about something that never happened.

Absolutely agree with feeling low, that would happen to me too. In my case, I wouldn't know if my self esteem is directly a result of anxiety or depression so I'm reluctant to say I would suffer depression. ------------- You don't know Bo? 2018 YBIG Fantasy Football Champ! |

Basically my mind will allow thoughts that aren't even my own into my head randomly, more often than not thoughts that bring me down or can cause stress. I rarely drink anymore either so it's pretty hard to blame alcohol. To explain my condition a bit more in detail here is an example of what I go through regularly. I could say "John is a sound chap" to a mate, yet in my head a few hours later my mind could think back and try to trick myself into saying I called "John, a dickhead" ------------- "He drives two Ferraris; I think he's a very lucky lad to have 50 caps for Ireland," Eamonn Dunphy on Glenn Whelan |

I get it regarding my financial position pretty often. I constantly worry about never being able to buy a house, car or when I eventually have kids, not being able to provide for them. I constantly class myself as "being broke" yet I'm financially stable and totally independent yet my mind sometimes doesn't allow me to think that. If I buy myself new clothes or have a night out, I'm wracked by guilt the following day or even in the hours after the event. Since I've been in Canada, I'm also getting pretty bad attacks about "running out of time" regarding my path in life. Basically, I've just turned 29 and want to get into full time coaching but fear that I've left it too late to start my badges and that I'll never do what I want to do. Of course I know this is nonsense but I do get sleepless nights thinking about how I'm gonna get to where I wanna go. If I do have to return home (my residency application is in the air at the minute) I fear how people will look at me for coming home. Keep having a sense of failure if I do have to go back at the age of 30 with no trade or degree. ------------- "Everytime Leeds concede a goal, its like being stabbed in the heart" - Billy Bremner Gary Speed 1969-2011 YBIG Blind Date Champion 2010 |

Got this after the away trip to Scotland. Had got a bad case of the fear after the previous few away match/ stag heavy sessions, this isn't helped by intolerance to wheat which means I should never drink and results in bad night sweats an skin rashes. That "fear" resulted in nights of no sleep so before Scotland, my anxiety really built about it happening again. I came home and straight away worried myself into a frenzy this culminated in my first panic attack. A very scary experience and ended up with me heading to a GP where a low dose benzo got me some sleep and I came straight out of it. I am lucky enough to have never felt depressed at any times and genuinely am very happy with my life. So in that I can definitely see a clear distinction between depression and anxiety. It is clear that my anxiety is centred around Alcohol so for me it's easy to avoid. I have only experienced with once more since Scotland it wasn't half as bad but again was after a night out. I have talked to numerous people about it since and it's amazing how many people have experienced it it live with it constantly. I found talking about it helped a lot. A lot of people I have talked to also recommended Cognitive behavioural therapy which is becoming more and more the most preferential treatment given by professionals. My advice to anyone from my small experience would be to talk about it and try your best to seek the triggers that cause it ------------- Up there for thinking. Down there for dancing |

Guys, its important you take control of anxiety before it takes control of you. I made the mistake of not dealing with it and I can honestly say I prob did not progress socially or workwise for 10 years. I let it get to the stage where I would not fly or even get on a train or bus. My advice would be to get help, personally I found the GP had no intrest, counselling and mindfulness worked for me. |

Lads, could write a book about this and did actually write my thesis on it - Generalised Anxiety Disorder and Panic Disorder - and the one over-arching piece of advice I'd leave you is to arm yourself with knowledge if you find yourself experiencing panic attacks. Once you know the ins and outs, basic tenets and mechanisms of a panic attack, they lose a massive amount of their charge and then stop self-propagating themselves. Also bear in mind that NO ONE IN THE HISTORY OF MANKIND has ever died from a panic attack. I remember them well and they sure as fck made you feel like you were dying. As mentioned above, mindfulness and counselling are great places to start too and another thing, it never hurts to keep a small paper bag on your person  Breathing exercises are well worth looking in to also.If you go to a doctor about this, there's a fair chance they'll lash you on meds. It's their M.O. Dr's just love to chuck pills at these things, in my experience. My thoughts on this?? Using SSRI's or sedatives to treat panic disorder (if not having a co-morbidity with depression) is akin to using a sledgehammer to press in a thumb tack. As I said above, read up on them and then read up on them some more. It's years now since I went through this and take it from me, the solution to your anxiety/panic is there somewhere, it's just that it varies from person to person as to what'll work best. ------------- http://giant.gfycat.com/LimpLittleArabianoryx.gif |

Ok seems weird after yesterday saying I haven't had an anxiety attack in a while that I had one today which is more through my own weird paranoia and probably not happening. The hr person who I talk to had a half day today and the other day I got an update on LinkedIn that she had become connections with a recruitment manager so my panic evolved around is she leaving ?? who am I going to talk to if she does? And am I being selfish that I don't want her to go? Am I the reason she is going? Should I bring it up and how with out sounding again weird and paranoid but |

Ask anyone in their 40's and they'll tell you that you've plenty of time ahead of you. You're never too old to chase your dream, unless you have kids, a house etc. I reckon I went through my mid life crisis in my early 20's because I wasn't happy with the direction I was heading 'career wise'. It was more just the anxiety of feeling like I should be doing more with my life than I was. Was only after I realised what I wanted to do and how I'd achieve it that these feelings went. It wasn't full blown anxiety more of a self esteem issue which created an anxious feeling.

You're really over thinking things LB. LinkedIn is all about connecting with others from similar fields and HR and recruitment go hand in hand. Coincidence I am sure.

Have this as well myself. came out of no where one day while walking through a shopping centre. Massive panic, thought my legs were going to give way and i needed out of it straight away. No trigger, nothing, was perfectly happy with life at that point. It happened one day in the car as well on the motorway in Belfast. i near killed myself and others trying to get off the fast lane and into the slow lane! scared the jaysus out of me. Even standing in a queue in a shop i put everything down and left it as i just got the feeling i needed out of the place! since then i sort of allowed it to take control but i spoke to a few friends and my mum about it last year and it helped alot. i dont take any medication, im weird that way, i dont want any. I prefer to deal with it my own way. ive found that exercise, being involved in stuff like the GAA and coaching teams helps alot. exercide esp is brilliant. in-door footie for 1 hour with mates can clear your mind something serious. Somedays it can be bad, even sitting in work, but ive found that its a matter of taking a few deep breaths, closing your eyes and settling down again works. Its no where near as bad as it was and ive found that drink is the worse cure for it. It makes it worse the next day! But on a whole im happier for taking to people about it, esp my mum who when talking to her revealed she suffered from it years ago when we were kids and says she worked her way through it and now never even thinks about it. Eat well, sleep well, relax, avoid binge drinking, find goals in life, things to look forward to and it will slowly ease off. Hell ive even found that writing this all down here therapeutic! ------------- put em under pressure! |

I find writing things down helps a lot, going back over the issue in your head can really bring you down so I'm trying to avoid doing that now. It's mad how everything can be perfect for weeks on end and then boom out of nowhere your world can become a struggle out of the blue for a number of days/weeks over the smallest of things. Anxiety is a curse the way your mind can just trick you into thinking stuff you haven't or wouldn't do yourself. ------------- "He drives two Ferraris; I think he's a very lucky lad to have 50 caps for Ireland," Eamonn Dunphy on Glenn Whelan |

I know how you mean, I'm sure you've seen I'm a massive ranter on Twitter and it boils down to it  I'm all too familiar with panic/anxiety attacks in the end I just think if I don't go for it, I've probably lost an opportunity I'll never get back - Like travelling to my first game at the Aviva last year is when I totally dropped my bollocks at the airport but as you know, I ended up there - and I've been on the receiving end of some tough love, sometimes you need it to spur you on.

Yup, great news. Have you thought about writing down your worries? I'm sure a load of people have been giving you their two pence and it probably hasn't been helping so I'm loath to do that but I know it worked for people I know. It's just a matter of jotting down a list of the things that worry you and, if possible, a list of things you are thankful for too. -------------

I've struggled with it before. At the time it really perplexed me because it seems to come whenever im happiest (im a young lad in college and i feel like generally my life is very good most of the time) but i can just conjure up this terrible, all-consuming fear that itll all somehow be taken away from me. Thankfully i havent been too bad with it recently but it has been very tough at times, it could take away my entire enjoyment of all of the things that would normally give me joy, and make me feel kind of like im in a glass box separated from everyone else having a good time. I know im just retreading old cliches but theyre true, exercise helps, writing it down how you feel is also a big help (and think to yourself, ok its written down now, i dont have to think so much anymore because all my worries are there in the book) and obviously everyone says it but by far the most important thing is to talk to someone you can trust. Knowing someone else understands and youre not suffering it in silence. That was always my instinct to do, telling everyone im fine because i didnt want to appear weak, i understand how hard it can be but it is such a massive help. ------------- No thank you Turkish......I'm sweet enough |

Moved into a new house yesterday where I'll be saving 400 quid a month yet had another sleepless night thinking about finances and how I'm going to pay for stuff. My immigration lawyer is meeting my company this week to discuss sponsorship to keep me in Canada which is great news but spent the rest of today worrying whats going to happen even though all signs point towards a positive outcome. Pre season is a month away which is good news because the off season here is far longer than home and I usually let myself go a bit when I'm not playing so I'm gonna get the head down for the month and build a base fitness before I go gung ho with the club. Coaching is going well and hoping for a call from Toronto FC's Academy in the next while to take over as Junior Academy goalkeeper coach.

| Back to normal today thank god. Had been on the sauce from Tuesday - Sunday with heavy sessions on the Wednesday and Saturday. Yesterday I didn't go to work and was paro coming into the office today which was making me anxious. But as always it was all in my head and everything back to normal without reason to worry |

| I lost my job in 2009, after about 6 months stated feeling all sweaty etc doing normal things like buying the paper, etc. I later found out that this was the start of anxiety. I am thankfully back working but i went on meds on 2010 and despite a few failed attemps to get off them i am still on what is a low enough dosage. Anxiety is a curse, even going to the canteen later at work can send me into worry, heart beating fast etc. Only my mother knows i suffer from anxiety, to everyone else i am the life and soul of the party. I regular pull women but have never had a relationship due to my lack of confidence and negative thoughts. If i have something coming up like a weekend away i would be mad looking forward to it but as it gets closer i start to dread the whole thing. Controlling the thoughts are the key i think. I go for regular counselling and hopefully 1 days i can control this anxiety. It is good to know i am not the only one suffering from anxiety. |

| I don't get lads like trAndy going on about anxiety as a result of week on the gargle. Try suffering from anxiety without gargle. Everyone gets the bleedin fear after a week on the gargle. That doesn't mean you suffer with anxiety. |

Same as myself. theres only a tight few who know this like my mum and dad and best mate. Not even my 2 brothers know about it. i got badly down only myself a few years back. Nearly was married till we broke up, went on a mad rampage for a while. Met another girl but it got messed up after the ex hated on her making it a mess. We split up after well a personal sadness between us and a few moths on lost my job. 3 months after that i got laid off again! Twice in a year! Convinced myself my life was cursed and nothing good would come of it. Very low confidence but it took my best friends, my mum and alot of inner courage by myself to get on my feet again. I got a great new job the day before going to Scotland away! The anxiety was a killer. As you say i dreaded walking into a cafe, raised heart beat, sweaty hands etc. Its a curse esp for me as i am pretty confident person who loves going out and partying etc. Exercise, getting out and about with mates, occupying your mind with good positive things is key. I listened to good article on tv the other night where they said that if your happy within yourself where you are in life then nothing can keep you down, no matter what unknowns come along. Yes it comes and goes but its no where near as bad and as often as it used to be. ------------- put em under pressure! |

| Yeah mate i'd be pretty outgoing myself so it can be a crippler. Obviously the drink does'nt help but as a single man its nearly worse to be moping about at home. Its hard to be constantly hiding it too at work, social events, etc. Hopefully with some hard work i can get the better of it soon or cope with it as anxiety is always going to be in the background. |

Im the same as im single so its boring sitting in! lol Def find yourself something to occupy your time. Im involved in my own GAA club and coach/manage our underage hurlers and the camogie as well. Im out of the house 3 nights a week with it and i love it. Its a real buzz and it gives me serious drive to keep going. i have 30-40 adults to coach tonight and you know what i could crumble and hide away from it but i dont let it. Weird as it may be i find music brilliant as well. I spend my work day with the earphones in and your day just filters away as i work on the comp. ------------- put em under pressure! |

Have been on Cipramil 20mg for over 5 years for depression/anxiety related illness. Can safely say it saved my life as I was in a v bad place back then. I still get occasional bouts of anxiety, especially after drinking but am definitely coping better! Great that more and more people all over the country (especially men) are not afraid to talk about their mental health issues, and the stigma is certainly waning. Peace brothers

cry baby (as Homer Simpson says) Fair play Eire I suppose online forums such as us can actually help if not prevent people/posters not harming themselves somehow. I love the fact a few of our posters can post on here in regards to that without ridicule. People need an outlet to air their feelings sof it's nice to see ybig as the outlet for that. ------------- Wings? They're only the band The Beatles could have been. |
