Try this...

Take magnesium supplements. It will definitely help.

everything starts in the gut.
did you know that there are more neurons in the stomach/intestines/digestive system than in the brain itself?
mental health starts with what you eat/are able to absorb.

here is a book related to diet and mental health:

How interesting!
That and medical marijuana... ?

Valerien is a herb that's supposed to help with anxiety.

You must identify the source of the anxiety and learn appropriate coping mechanisms, a clinical psychologist that uses reality therapy instead of reaching for a prescription pad could probably help you.

I feel exactly as you do. We just have to keep going through it until the right job arrives. Try to breathe deeply and say many prayers for the right job. Good luck to you!!

Been there, done that. Just go to walmart and watch all the people, then understand that you are as good as anybody else with all the rights and priviliges as anybody else.

When you start to feel anxious, take several deep breaths and realize that what you're feeling is your body and not you, so just ignore it. Put your attention on what the person you are talking is saying.
If that doesn't get you there, you might need to get a doctor to give you something for anxiety while you retrain your body with successful interactions with other people.

Also realize that you have the power to leave at anytime, if you really want to. You have only yourself to please, so don't worry about what other people think. Anybody.

There is positive stress, eustress, and negative stress, distress. We can eliminate many stressors in life if we look at what we choose, diet, work, etc. Take an inventory and cut out the unnecessary stress.

I've been taking St John's Wort because I thought maybe I was depressed which I was to a degree, and it has taken the edge of a little, but now I'm left with just anxiety.

Counseling would be very beneficial in that you would learn that you are not suffering alone with your anxiety but there are millions of others who face the same issues. You could learn invaluable coping scales to help overcome your stress.

Medication is also available that would put your mind at ease.

Perhaps there are subconscious reasons why you have such high anxiety over looking for work. Maybe your subconscious is telling you that whatever job you're applying for, is not your true calling in life.

it's the truth trying to get in

I can tell you what worked for me. Cutting down on sugar, a high dha/Epa fish oil supplement, a good multivitamin, b- complex, and at least 5000 iu of vitamin d3 daily- more if you live up north. A probiotic is a good idea too. My story: Last January I began suffering from horrible anxiety/panic attacks. I was also having strange episodes of staring off into space and appearing drunk at times. Two panic attacks caused me to go to the er late at night. My blood sugar was checked and found to be in the mid 40's! There is a connection between anxiety and hypoglycemia. Don't count on a Dr to tell you that though. I was given a bottle of oj, a prescription for xanax, a referral for a psychiatrist, and sent on my way. No lie! After months on an ssri, I had enough! I changed my diet, took my supplements, and dropped the Dr and his meds. No more anxiety and no looking back! Good luck to you.

Chamomile tea, Valerian, Potatoes, yams, bananas, egg plant, sweet potatoes, oatmeal, eat 3-4 meals per day, exercise, watch comedies, dance, yoga, get social, jog, chill the fuck out, walk on the beach barefoot. All these things helped me a lot.... I'm naturally a pretty tense, and high strung person but I actually feel good and normal now.

Holy Basil will stop the cascading of thoughts and improve your ability to concentrate. New Chapter has a critical level Holy Basil-very effective.

I agree with others that you are most likely
magnesium deficient--

If I were you though, I would also include
some--

Vitamin D3 (most are seriously deficient in this)
You can mega-dose by sunbathing nude or supp--

Meditation can also be a huge benefit--

Most of all, remind yourself each day that you
are giving up worrying and breath deeply!

I used to have this problem too and than went on the Bulletproof Paleo Diet (google it). The butter, ghee and coconut oil freed me up from the negative emotions for some reason that I still do not understand. Did not put any weight on from all the butter etc that I now eat either. For some reason it works. Good luck to you and I shall be praying for your peace of mind.

It does, along with Kava Kava. You can buy them at any health food store but taken together they will really make you sleep!

Im not the best for advice regarding anxiety.
