Anxiety can’t do anything

my anxiety has got so bad like i feel like im forgetting everyone and myself i know im not it just hits me at times im scared to drive i feel like my life is going down hill

Hi, I have been where you are and only today i had to take my son to pick something up and i drove my car (which i did not drive for 3 months earlier this year as i was so scared) i got that instant heavy feeling in my chest and body but i thought no i am going to do this and i did,

My only advise is give it a go, if you can only manage getting to the end of the road before you turn back its okay as at least you tried and you can try again tomorrow.

When all the simple things in life seem like a struggle it makes us feel like life is passing us by, keep pushing to do things that make you feel uncomfortable and it will become easier (its about retaining the brain)

Good Luck

when anxiety hits and im scared to do anything, i learned to say “NO! IM NOT LETTING YOU CONTROL MY LIFE ANXIETY!”
its all about mental attitude. now i push thru it all. i still get hesitant but not like before! KEEP A POSITIVE STRONG MIND AND BE A FIGHTER FOR YOURSELF! I refuse to crumble under fear, anxiety anymore.
u may benefit from seeing a counselor too. :heart:

I’m going through the same problem like you. My anxiety is really bad as well but I’m learning to control it and not let it ruin my whole day. It’s scary, I know.. but once you know how to get a better control of anxiety, you will feel much more relief and better. I usually talk to someone who goes through the same problem like me whether it could be family or friends, but this is what calms me down and lets my mind know that I’m not the only one suffering from severe panic attacks and it’s completely normal to go through symptoms of it that could be concerning. Just don’t give up! Anxiety is never easy to handle with but don’t let it fear you. Think positive and enjoy doing things you like to do to get your mind clear from negative thoughts.

just seems like everyday gets worse not better im just tired if fighting this i just want to be normal

i promise it will get better, word for word what you have written i remember writing to a friend, i am now 5 months on from when it first started, its been a long 5 months but i am in such a better place, you wont believe it while you are going through your dark days as i didnt when people told me it will pass but i am proof it does and trust me i had very very dark days x
