All my mates have been telling me to take creatine/whey gainer and stuff to bulk up and i was always worried if there was side effects of the stuff lol. Thanks for the heads up Also, it doesn't work for everyone.....hubby took it for ages and worked out at the gym. Absolutely no effect, on the plus side he can eat like a pig every night and never gain weight. It all depends on your build & genetic makeup. Anything that overstimulates your brain can be bad as well, too much gaming can leave you wired which may make your symptoms worse. Really feel for you mate and very brave for you to share x I'm very similar, I could eat a farm and not gain a pound! I just assume I've got a high metabolism. I'm also guilty about my games, when I tend to start feeling bad I turn straight to games to try take my mind off things, but I'll try my best to get out this habit and learn other techniques. Thanks again to everyone for their advice, it means a lot! I wasn't sure wether to make a post about how I was feeling but now I'm glad I did. Bradders I'll pop you a pm Sent from Tapatalk

Mindfulness approach - http://bemindful.co.uk/ I suffered from it a while back and this does really help. You'll think its a load of rubbish if you read up on it but half the battle I found with anxiety is to clear your head from the thoughts that are making you anxious. Now the real tricky thing with that is that often you wont actually realise what it is..........its just lurking in the back of your head. Finding something that you enjoy that takes your mind off things really helps - I would never feel anxious when playing football or cleaning the car for instance. The other thing is to just accept that anxiety takes time to go away......you've got it to deal with and that is that. It WILL go eventually but its not as quick as dropping a paracetamol and clearing a headache. Whatever you do be careful going to the doctor..........some are a little bit pill happy which is fine and appropriate for some circumstances (manic depression for example). Lucky for me mine was happy to let me deal with it myself but I've heard of people ending up on so many pills they must rattle when they walk (each with 40 or so side effects!). You'll ride it out but if you need a non-professional to moan at I'm only a PM away Also buying detailing gear is very therapeutic.................have you seen my sub forum Yeah, I went on pills the first time I started having anxiety attacks, came off them slowly after 3 months and i was ok. But I really dont wanna keep having to reply on pills everytime i feel bad. Knowing these pillls have so many side effects also plays on my mind lol so that can even make me feel worse sometimes. Thanks for your advice also, I do need some cleaning gear so ill check it out

+1 for this. I don't suffer at all so I don't know what it feels like, sorry. But if I'm having a bad couple days I take it out with physical activity. Clears my mind. Also after my first Det in afghan I did a lot of yoga. Not only is it generally awesome, but it also improved drastically in the gym with lifting heavier weights. Cheers guys. I'd love to go to the gym but because of my anxiety it leaves me breathless very easy so i find it very hard. I'm also only 9stone (skin and bones) lol but I'm hoping a diet change will help me gain weight so I can gain the confidence to start up the gym. Exercise definitely helps & fresh air. You can come running with me, as long as you promise not to laugh too much Trust me you would be the one laughing! Lol, yeah getting fresh air does help too, thanks

Don't worry about how much you weigh and how big you are - there's more respect for those trying than those who don't. Same with overweight people trying to lose weight. Either way you go it's the effort that counts mate. By diverting your attention to another goal, you'll probably find yourself moving away from the anxiety, and into a more positive state of mind, especially as you start to see changes, and see the effects of your efforts coming through. It's a very happy feeling when you see yourself putting on size, or losing weight, whichever your goal is. Set yourself small goals and achieve them. It'll make you feel better about yourself. Not to mention the fact that physical activity will release endorphins (the happy hormone) into your system, so you'll generally feel happier afterwards anyway. It's easier said than done, but don't let life get you down - you live once so make the most of it mate and do what makes you happy Makes a lot of sence, I apperciate it thanks for your advice I'm willing to try anything at the mo

I have no idea what the first part of your reply meant lol! But you're right, doing bits and pieces to my car also helps me take my mind off things and makes me feel better. Thanks

Your story basicly sums me up spot on. I've always been a shy character but i get on with anyone and everyone, but one day at work it just hit me and a little while after thats when my attacks started to happen. I went to the docs, they offered me tablets and CBT, I chose tablets probably cause I find it hard to talk to some people anyway and just hid away from that i guess. But now I'm thinking about going down the CBT route. Thanks for replying. Like you said its crazy when you realise the ammount of people that go through the same thing and how much better you feel once you've spoen to people that have been through it

I tend to be an 'over-thinker' and I've had a lot of things on my mind just building up inside, which is probably is whats causing my problems. Doctors just seem to love throwing pills at me but I don't want to rely on them so I've taken your advice and given Talking Therapies an e-mail as their phonelines are closed on weekends. Hopefully they will be able to direct me further. Thanks for the advice

Thanks for the info, I don't read books but I will defiantly give it a go I see if it helps Sent from Tapatalk

Hope you're ok mate, what do you mean ride the black cloud? I've spoke to a lot of people with similar issues, I've even told to read up on breathing exercises so I think I'll give that a go next. I tend to just try to play games or maybe go for a drive to take my mind off things but it doesn't always work and I get myself in a panic Sent from Tapatalk

Any anxiety sufferers out there? Going through a bit of a bad time at the moment just wondering if anyone has similar problems. Not the happiest of topics I knowlol, but it's always nice to get it off your chest and talk to people in the same boat if there is any Sent from Tapatalk

Welcome mate. I was debating a m3 before buying my zed but I defiantly think I made the right choice. Happy modding! Sent from Tapatalk

I've got the same set sitting in the garage, I've heard good things from them and for the price I couldn't resist! Sent from Tapatalk

Let us know how you get on Charlie. I've got the same sort of problem but after sorting out the arb bushes and drop links I still have the problem. I'm replacing the shocks next but still not 100% sure on the problem, just waiting for funds to eliminate possibilities Sent from Tapatalk

I took a cheeky pic of your car whilst I was walking around at japfest lol. Only on my phone so nothing special. Looks awesome tho mate Sent from Tapatalk

Welcome to the forum mate. Best colour Zed btw Sent from Tapatalk

I play it on ps4 mate, you're right lol the master levels are crazy! Much harder than the older trials. What platform do you play it on? Sent from Tapatalk

Ohh makes sence lol. I think I'm only a fan of realm reborn because it's a MMORPG Sent from Tapatalk

Only FF I played was 7, back in the day on 5 discs on my PS1. I soon realised that JRPG's weren't for me and left them alone. No denying that they are pretty accomplished games mind. Whats a JRPG? I've never really played any of the FF games, but played the beta of this when it came out and got completly addicted lol

Any final fantasy realm reborn fans out there? (Ps4) Sent from Tapatalk

I found these 2 pics on the Splitter Scuffers page on facebook, me and the missus are in the background! If you know about Splitter Scuffers you'd know its a pure trolling page, its kinda funny that the person standing next to me got ripped the s#!t out of on the post!

Nice photos Stu, wish my camera could do that

Hi Jez.

I guess im glad i didnt say it to your face at Japfest today lol
