My Anxiety - Real Mum story on MoM

9 Comments

After recently having my first “anxiety” attack, which scared me beyond words, I have since joined a gym and fallen inlove with exercise and the positive effect it has on my body.

I am overweight too so the goal is to lose weight as well as improve my mental health. I am a more calmer partner, better mother and finally doing something just for me. I just wish it hadn’t taken an attack to get my butt into gear and start doing things that needed doing. The next step is Yoga, to teach myself some relaxation techniques and how to unwind and shut off the busy day to day routine

During my first panic attack I had a sense of impending doom and thought I was having a heart attack and called an ambulance.

Sounds like you are working to better yourself which is great. I used to go to the gym a lot & it becomes very addictive & releases good endorphins, you may find you will have more energy too. With this you will notice the weight dropping off & probably make better eating choices too. I haven’t dealt with anxiety although some say I’m a rather anxious person, perhaps a visit to the GP may help, good luck

Good on you and good luck. Exercise and losing weight will make you feel so much better. Anxiety is tough and I get it too. Being healthy and active helps me, as well as spending time with my friends.
