Might have magnesium deficiency. There's all these little problems I have that I attributed to anxiety and dust allergy but I my dad told me I might have magnesium deficiency, and looking at the long list of symptoms I actually fit most of them.
Still, I bought vitamins with magnesium but they were huge pills, I tried breaking one in four and I still almost choked. Need to find another way to get magnesium.
Try a different brand. I had deficiency too and taking supplements made a huge difference in how well I am able to sleep and I have less muscle pain too. It just plain made me feel calmer. I take 3 or 4 a night (but beware, it can make you, er, lets say "regular," ha!)
Deficiencies in iron and B12 can also cause anxiety. Also I have found that my digestive issues caused a bulk of my anxiety. Probiotics are really helpful, as is apple cider vinegar. I have even gone so far as to take 2 T. of diatemaceous earth every morning with a T. of apple cider vinegar with great results with both my stomach issues and my anxiety. I still have some anxiety in public, but at least 80% of the dread is gone. I am starting to believe that anxiety is highly linked to gut health.
Let us know how the supplements work for you

I am so glad to be back home! ty for those who said nice things to me on my last post-I was so down. I think my hormones during PMS can make me suicidal. What a mess.
I used to get that way too but have been better as of late. I wish I knew what changed so I could share it with you... regardless, I'm glad you are back

For all their convenience and connectivity, the ultimate scourge of smartphones was on display again.
My girlfriend messages people and goes on Facebook when I'm talking to her, which I find annoying, and she knows it. She is making an effort to stop, though, although I can see the addictive nature of being connected and taking selfies and logging every action she makes has already taken a hold.
However, I saw a group of seven men in their 20's when we were out at breakfast. Six of them were messaging on their phones, with the remaining guy in limbo and unable to start a conversation. I just had to shake my head. I like smartphones and I also dislike them.
I have come to despise it when people can't hold a conversation with me without staring at their phone. I'm not shy about asking them to stop. I figure it is hard enough for me to socialize in the first place, much less having them distracted like that. It's a huge effort on my part, they can make an effort too. :thumbdown:
