I feel like my heart is in my stomach constantly, im always on edge, i cant get rid of the feeling of dread. I dont even think ive done anything to trigger it. its just there. it to the point that i feel like im losing mt mind. I cant see a doctor about any of this because i dont have insurance. so i cant get treated with the right medicines to fix anything. im just slowly being devoured by my overwhelming thoughts and random negative emotions.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for reverting back to me.
With available details it seems that you are dealing with generalised anxiety disorder. It is kind of anxiety disorder which can present with variety of symptoms including fearfulness, feeling at edge, restlessness, insomnia, dry mouth, trembling, shortness of breath, dizziness, nausea and vomiting among others.
Although most patients need treatment in form off either psychotherapy or medication but stress management can help to some extent. Considering your financial status I feel managing stress could be good option to control your symptoms.
I am writing down few of the strategies that will help you in management of stree leading to reduction of your anxiety.
1. Diet: Ensure intake of adequate quantity of fiber. 2 servings of vegetable salad and 2 servings of fruits( One preferable citrus fruit). Avoid junk food and fast food especially pizza, burgers and excessive sweets
2. Ensure adequate water intake: Recommended intake of water is 2 to 3 liter a day. Insufficient intake of water could be a contributing factor in causation of symptoms.
3. Early morning Exercise: Brisk walking for 30 minutes at a stretch preferably in garden will be very helpful. Walking is the best exercise, it also promotes release of Endorphins( naturally occuring pain killers released in brain) which causes mood elevation and generalized feeling of well being.
4. Avoid tea/coffee/ nicotine and alcoholic beverages: If at all you want to drink something, drink fresh lime water. It is very much refreshing.
5. Start your day with a glass of Lemon water with 2 spoons of honey added. have a good breakfast.
6. Don't take work so seriously: We all have the feeling to excel in our respective fields and don't spend adequate time with our own self trying to understand our own needs.
Spend time with your family and friends.
7. While working take frequent regular breaks: Taking regular breaks will not waste the time, but it will definitely increase the productivity, concentration and reasoning. Take break for 5 minutes every 30 minutes.
Close your eyes and rotate the eye balls for couple of minutes
8. Avoid late night socialization
9. Avoid starring for longer time at the computer screen or TV for longer time
10. Steam inhalation before going to sleep will be very refreshing:
11. Multivitamin and Calcium supplement.
12. Meditation and Yoga
I hope this assists you.
If you have more questions I will be glad to assist you further.
