Hi Gethprime: I'm sorry you are having such a difficult time. Anxiety is something I have always struggled with as well. And as I'm getting older, it seems to be an increasing serious concern. I also spend quite a lot of time on my PC between being here on NT & on PsychCentral. It seems to help keep me calm as well. At least it gives me something to be doing.
I make it a general habit to be off of the computer by around 8 P.M. because I find that if I stay on much later than that it affects my ability to go to sleep when I go to bed. I also have a daily exercise routine & I do some mindfulness meditation... mostly of the walking variety. It all seems to help. Anyway... I just wanted to leave a reply with a wish that you might be able, in some way, to find peace within... ![]() ![]() |

I have found that using sleep hygiene (essentially applying good habits in preparation for sleep) helps me.
There is a general description of it here https://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/.../sleep-hygiene .

The arm issues could be related to a combination of upper body posture (head/shoulders forward /rounded/hunched) and/or repetitive activities (computer).

I doubt that because they didnt start going crazy until around the time I had my first huge panic/anxiety attack. When I feel a sense of dread/anxiety/panic/etc, parts of my body feel weird. When Im not in a sense of panic and all my body feels normal.
Though I did find out that Im farsighted last week. So I got my first set of glasses. |
