anxiety...

This isn't about approach anxiety. This is just about worrying and anxiety. Sometimes my heart races all day long. If it does slow down I realize it and then it starts right back up again. I have a girlfriend and if I have thoughts of other women I feel extremely guilty and then I feel stressed and worried all the time. Its like I can't push away thoughts that causes anxiety I will always think of something to worry about. Its so stressful and taxing what can I do?

It does sound like you suffer from an anxiety disorder. I think you would well benefit from some counselling.

i suffer from the same thing and have been for about 2 years..u may need to get some medication and relize that u have to stop worrying..worrying is causing your problems (obviously right lol) the best thing for you to do is to excercise,practice observing what you are saying to yourself mentally,change your negative self talk to positive self talk, and when you are experiencing a panic attack jus let your body do your thing,you cannot die from it no matter how uncomfortable it feels, u will not have a heart attack or stop breathing theres are psychological reasons your body is reacting the way it does physically but no one has ever died from a panic attack, eliminate caffeine from your diet, and remeber when u feel worried and your body starts having its reactions remain completly passive, and remeber that the symptoms you are feeling i.e. racing heart, is caused by your fight or flight response and is purely adrenaline and it will peak then disaapear..i hope this helps you

Thanks for the responses. To add to the worrying I've been told stress takes 15 years off your life and it makes you fat so I worry about worrying too much. Sometimes my heart will race and I don't even know why. Sometimes it seems like sleep is my only escape. Its ruining my relationship with my girlfriend because if I find someone attractive or have a thought about someone else I can't be free until I tell her it seems like which makes her sad and insecure.

Smoke a little bit of weed.

A little bit, not a bowl.

sometimes weed gives me anxiety, but I also get it when I stop smoking.

You might have OCD.
You should go see a psychiatrist and a psychologist.
Xanax works real well on anxiety however it is addictive.
