I have just come back from completing my first work out and have to tell you how fabulous I feel, I feel more calm relaxed any my distressing thoughts although they are still there, are controllable. It took a lot for me to go there today my mind started to fill with "what ifs" but now am really pleased that I overcome my anxious thoughts and went after all x I have suffered with anxiety again for the last 6 months (had it 2 years ago but it seemed to go after months of input with a psychologist, however at a cost of £100 an hour this is too expensive for me to take up again) On monday I joined Curves a ladies only gym which bases its work out on 3 half hour sessions every week.

I am keeping a diary of symptoms and the methods I use to allieviate them. I experiment a bit and ask friends how they cope with this 'normal' anxiety. Exericse (gentle) - going to the gym and the mixing with people certainly helps, but I really look forward to a strong cappucino afterwards. I find a quick dose of caffein in an ejoyable, social drink, really enpowers that endorfin high after execise, and everything seems manageable. It helps me move up a gear and cope. I think drinking several cups at home alone would be disaterous though. I think work anxiety happens when you journey from leisure to work, the grief happens as you cross that transition between one and the other. This may happen in the morning, afternoon, evening or worst of all at night. I get anxious, they day before I go back to work each week.

I want to add some more information I learned regarding the effects of heavy weight lifting and anxiety disorders. -when we lift heavy weight our bodies produce lactic acid to supply our muscles energy quickly. Research has shown that lactic acid makes anxiety symptoms worser because people with anxiety disorders are sensitive to lactate in the blood. -so i learned to keep weight lifting to a minimum until the body has fully healed itself. Weight lifting puts alot of pressure on the nervous system so i found it wiser to stick to cardiovascular exercise (running, jogging, walking) until the body has fully healed it self and anxiety symptoms no longer persist. Hope this helps someone I learned this information the hard way All the best Kashawn. hi guys, this anxiety journey has taught me alot.

After my panic attack in April I decided to pursue cardio and weight lifting to change my life. I have done some research and concluded that weight lifting (if done more then 1 or 1 1/2 hours) can actually cause anxiety because the stress hormone CORTISOL is released in blood stream. This in turn can exacerbate anxiety and Depersonalization......because the nervous system is OVERLY worked and needs a break. This is why Paul wrote: the MIND AND BODY crave a break. I assumed working out very hard is good for my body which in fact was the complete opposite:) -Also Cardiovascular exercise appears to have the least stress on the nervous system...you can exercise more often (walking, jogging) and this WILL NOT shock the nervous system as weight lifting does. So please keep in mind that lifting weights SHOCKS THE NERVOUS SYSTEM if done excessively and without proper rest. This is why my anxiety and Dp got worse hours after my vigorous weight lifting work out. PAUL YOU ARE MY HERO BRO Keep the faith; recovery is within reach:) Kashawn. Hi guys

I want to comment about caffeine and coffee. Paul mentions in his information to avoid caffeine and I just want to comment about how truly important it is TO STAY AWAY FROM COFFEE AND CAFFEINE. I had a coffee today and noticed that my anxiety jumped...it depends on the person however I would say to stay away from it completely...our bodies are hyper sensitive already ...adding this psychostimulant is just fueling the anxiety symptoms. I hope this comes through to all:) To all fellow sufferers, keep your heads up All the Best:) Kashawn Hi All

Nothing too drastic, just avoiding too much sugar and eating unrefined carbohydrates. Helps to prevent blood sugar levels fluctuating (when they dip they can cause anxiety-like symptoms, which can trigger everything else off!). Cutting back on caffeine might be helpful too - can't comment about that though, have never drunk coffee. Amy Hi all,
