As someone who suffers with anxiety on a regular basis, this spoke to me.
#WhatAnxietyFeelsLike is something that only people who have it will understand.
These tweets will prove YOU ARE NOT ALONE in this fight! :All Tweets Here:
Look, I've been where you are. That feeling, where the world feels like it's laying on your chest. Feeling like if you have to be around people you're going to lose it! Sound familiar?
Trying to relax, but every thought in your head is negative and frightening, for NO REASON what so ever. It's a living hell!!
Let me give you a little background on me. I have a thyroid problem, one adrenal gland, and basically a completely effed up endrocrin system. In other words, my hormones are always off, and with that comes all sorts of crazy emotional problems, number one being anxiety.
I'm sharing this with you because I want you know that YOU ARE NORMAL. You ARE NOT messed up, and there is a happy ending.
My anxiety is just about gone, and here's what did.
1. I became a fitness junky! I work out 5 days a week with weights, cardio, I go hard! This is crucial for dealing with anxiety.
2. I started eating extremely healthy, which to me is one of the most important things you can do to fight anxiety. Believe it or not, all the bad shit we put in our bodies has a HUGE EFFECT on how it works. Start putting clean food in your system, and I promise you'll notice a difference.
3. I finally found the right Doctor's that understand hormones. Doctor's that listen to me as a patient. K3NOW in Tampa, K3nowmd.com.
Dr. Kowalski checked all the levels in my blood, ALL OF IT! Everything from thyroid, to adrenal, and testosterone, vitamins, minerals, inflammation, you name it, they checked it.
Yes, they can do the same thing for women, it's not just us guys that deal with this stuff. The thing is, most men won't talk openly about it. Screw that, I want to help you.
It was amazing to finally have answers, and more importantly hope. I had a starting point to feel better. I started the program to balance my hormones, and fix all the vitamin and mineral deficiencies in my body. That was 7 weeks ago, and my life has CHANGED!!
My anxiety is nearly gone, and life feels good again. I can breath, for the first time in many years, I feel good. Holy shit, it's been so long since I've been able to say that.
Please hear me: "it all starts with hormones in your body." You're not messed up, but maybe your hormones are.
I hope this helps. I'm so sick of seeing people being misled by the wrong doctors. I wasted to much time dealing with that.
Keep your head up, put in the work, and beat anxiety and depression. YOU CAN DO THIS!!
As Joe Rogan says "Be the hero of your own movie. What would the hero of your life's movie do right now? DO THAT!!"
