I’m a nursing student and I’m always stressed out, even when I’m not. Sounds weird, right? I’m always biting my nails, etc… My heart rate is real fast. Last time I checked, it was 113/minute ( tachychardia). I went to the emergency room the other day, because I thought I was gonna have a heart attack : headaches, excessive yawning, heart racing, difficulty breathing, nausea, you name it! I had all the symptoms. Is that anxiety? What causes anxiety and how do I get rid of it? Someone, please tell me how to manage stress. I’m tired of suffering! Sometimes, I keep thinking something bad will happen, or if I’m driving the car will stop with me in the middle of the road, or something will break in the car, and will have a bad accident. I don’t like these feelings. Someone help!

UGGH! I HAVE BAD ANXIETY! My brain talks for me, saying something bad will happen if I don’t do something. And, you gotta stop. It’s been 2 years for me and it’s only gotten worse. Guess what! I found out I have Thiriod problems. Hashimotos Thyriod. I know it sounds like a toy company in Japan but, it’s not actully! It is a disese where I have to take a small half of a Synthroid Pill every night/morning. And, you stopping in the middle of the road, I am guessing your brain is telling you “You have to stop or something bad will happen!” Or! You count like this:”1,2,3,4,5 stop 1,2,3,4! Ok I am 14 so count to 14.” So yes! Go to a doctor now!

Calm down please.
Life is a journey.
Forget about the final destination.
It is all about how you get there. Make the journey last, and you will learn more.

Take a deep breathe and turn off your mind with a 10 minute quiet time.
Use the Serenity Prayer below and say it repeatedly.
God grant me the serenity to ACCEPT the things I cannot change (people, places, things) COURAGE to change the things I can (myself), and the WISDOM to know the difference.
It works. I said it while in labor and remained calm the entire time.

Medication will help, so see your doc. Xanax does wonders for my anxiety, and I had many of the same symptoms as you. In the meantime, cut out all caffeine (or stimulants) as they will make anxiety worse. ( As a nursing student, I imagine you drink coffee? ) and try meditation to help you slow down and distract your mind, even if only for a bit.
