In reply to how to stop hyper anxiety?, posted by alex01 on August 10, 2002, at 22:15:21
There are some links between anxiety disorders and thyroid malfunction. If you are low in folic acid because your thyroid gland is enlarged and not working properly, it affects your lymphatic system, that controls the fluids in your body. The fluids increase and build pressure through your neck and head, which causes pain. Usually if the thyroid is underactive you have decreased appetite too. I know it is something that pychiatrists don't normally check for, but it does cause a lot of trouble mentally. Hope its at least educating, if not helpful info. Anxiety is something I know well. Hang in there. One other thing...meditation works wonders. Really. It calms you done, centers you. I also sometimes just go running around town. Catharsis.
