I seem to have this fleeting anxiety with me all the time that gets triggered very easily.
It seems as if part of me mind is always focused on my body sensations and goes off when I try to focus my mind off my body.
I’m also triggered by any thoughts of illness or falling sick. Just reading about how anxiety can cause problems in this thread triggered me.
I’ve tried myriad of medications and therapy such as CBT, talk therapy, hypnosis , yoga, Chinese herbal medicine , accupuncture, Ayurvedic treatments, SSRIs, benzos, Xanax, remeron, risperdol etc. Even exercise doesn’t really help.
I’m currently on a very low dose of Prozac for sleep. Most medications help with sleep at the very least.
I still need to try a SNRI but after that I need may try some hallucinogens as I’ve never done so, and people seem to be responding well to it.
I’m currently late 30s and don’t have any physical problems but in the back of my mind I’m always afraid I’m going to get sick soon.
I eat bowl of veggies with every meal now, I do yoga prayanamic exercises in the morning and I try to walk daily or almost daily.
As for anxiety ,
I’m not sure if it’s due to my childhood (Dad was abusive and very angry ) or if it’s genetic.
My dad has cooled down now so my relationship with him is okay. I don’t have any flashbacks or anything so I’m assuming my problem is genetic?
Nonetheless, I want to feel some what normal. Part of me wants to go into the health field just to understand what’s going on in the body and have more control.
I also want to reverse aging as I feel like I missed out a lot of my earlier years due to anxiety.
I only started programming a couple of years ago and would need to become much better at data mining , machine learning to be of help to researchers. Though I’m really curious about lab work as well and really would like more biochemistry, microbiology etc.
Ideally I would to get I knowledge in both. It seems most researchers have decades a of knowledge though and not sure if I can be of any help. I’m very curious about these science fields and like to watch moocs to build my knowledge.
