Over the past 3 months, I’ve been dealing with a very high level of anxiety because of some stressful events in my life. I feel like my nervous system has become extremely sensitive — even the smallest amount of stress can trigger this feeling of panic in my chest, even when I’m not consciously feeling anxious.

I’ve started doing some things to try to calm my nervous system and help myself recover:

Jacobson’s Progressive Muscle Relaxation

Prayer

10 minutes of meditation in the morning and 10 minutes at night

Journaling

Listening to calming/nervous-system-regulation music

Using ambient/warm lighting in my room
Lighting candles every day

Cleansing my rooms with palo santo and sage because it helps me feel calm

Taking hot showers to relax

Going to therapy, where I’m starting EMDR

I recently started yoga and I really enjoyed it

Next week I’m also planning to start going to the gym

For those of you who have been through something similar: do these things actually help your nervous system become less reactive over time? How long did it take you to start feeling noticeably better?

Is there anything else you would recommend adding to my routine?

I’d really appreciate any advice, personal experiences, or things that helped you during a similar period. Thank you so much to everyone who takes the time to read this and share their experience — I genuinely appreciate every message. ❤️

I would really appreciate hearing about your experiences, especially from people who have gone through a period of intense anxiety and eventually felt like their nervous system became calm again.
Thank you so much for any advice or personal experiences ❤️

Hi everyone! I started Wegovy last night and thankfully I didn’t have any side effects at first. Today, though, I’ve had some mild nausea.
The thing that worries me a little is that when I actually have to eat, the nausea gets stronger. I’ve been eating pretty normally and choosing lighter foods — chicken, vegetables, eggs, yogurt, etc.
Has anyone else experienced this after their first dose? Is it normal for the nausea to get worse around mealtimes, even if you’re eating okay?
If you have any tips for managing the nausea or making meals easier during the first few days, I’d really appreciate it!
Thank you so much for any advice or reassurance! ❤️

About a month and a half ago, I had a really bad anxiety episode and saw a psychiatrist. I had many physical symptoms like tingling in my hands, itching all over my body, feeling lightheaded, nausea, and more. I’ve managed to get through the worst part, but I’m still not 100% recovered from the anxiety.
About 3 weeks ago, I started getting palpitations and sweaty hands after eating carbs or something sweet. I also feel very agitated and anxious when this happens. The palpitations can last for 1–2 hours. This has never happened to me before.
I’ve had several check-ups and blood tests, and everything came back normal. I’m wondering if this could be related to anxiety, blood sugar/insulin, digestion, POTS, or something else. I’m quite worried about it.

About a month ago, I went through a pretty intense episode of health anxiety that lasted for around two weeks. During that time, I couldn’t think about anything else — I was constantly anxious and focused on my health.
This anxiety came with a lot of physical symptoms, such as tingling in my hands, itching all over my body and on my scalp, waking up in the morning with extremely high levels of anxiety, feeling lightheaded, stomach pain, nausea, a vibrating sensation throughout my body, shaking, and slightly blurred vision.
Is it normal for anxiety to cause so many different physical symptoms at once? I should mention that I had several medical check-ups and blood tests, and everything came back normal.
I’ve somehow managed to overcome the worst part of the anxiety now, but I still feel like my nervous system is constantly on high alert. How long does it usually take for the body to fully recover after going through an intense period of anxiety like this?

I’ve been going through a really intense month of stress and anxiety, and I’ve had a lot of physical symptoms because of it. I’m slowly starting to feel better now, but recently I’ve started getting heart palpitations after eating, especially after carbs.
I never had this before all of this started. I’ve had blood tests and everything came back normal.
Could the palpitations also be related to the vitamins/supplements I’m taking? I’m currently taking B12, vitamin D3, calcium and magnesium.
Has anyone else experienced something similar after a stressful/anxious period?
