I have never done this before this is my first time posting on here. I have recently been diagnosed with having anxiety although I have know that I have anxiety for about 6 years now. I am on medication for it and starting theory to help but I still struggle with it every day. It has meant I have trust issues and I am constantly worried that I'm being lied to. The past few days have been really hard for some reason it has gotten really bad and I'm really down and sad, the anxiety is creeping back in slowly and I don't like it, I feel as though I am losing my will to keep going on not in a way that I want to end my life but in a way I want to crawl in my bed and just lie there and not move for a long time. I'm not sure if many people will ready this or if anyone knows how I feel I just wanted to post my feelings out there and hopefully find people who I can talk to about it all. I'm sorry if it has been a bit of a ramble but writing this out has made me feel a little better.
Thanks to anyone that has read this and sorry if I have wasted anyone's time.
Ive felt like that before whats really good is that your not thinking of self-harm. Do you get physical symptoms as well?
I am the exact same way. I was diagnosed with various anxiety disorders and depression over 10 months ago, been on two different meds and the doses keep changing and it is ridiculously difficult to keep going. I definitely have the feeling of just wanting to go to bed and never get out again because the world is just too much for me. I completely understand how you feel, as I haven't gotten a bit better, my thoughts and feelings haven't got better in 10 months, with therapy and meds, and have been the same for about 10 years, since I was just 7 years old my OCD symptoms started e.g. Washing my hands several times. If you need to talk I'm sure everyone including me would be happy to discuss.
I hope you feel better soon, wish you all the best!
Hi there....
Well dont worry...u r not alone...there are soo many people dealing with all this crazyyy symptoms...if u want to stay all day in the bed Im the opposite, I cant stay sitting in one place cause I get worse...but both cases r related to depression and anxiety...I dont know what cure u r getting, I mean what kind of medicine but as per my case I was on prozac 40 mg,buspar 15 mg,clonzepam 1 mg...and all these worked good on me...I could see improvement after 2 months..and on the 4th month i had to stop the treatment cause of my bad headache...I still have to deal with some bad sympt but thank God not like before...
And btw try to go for a walk every day even for 20 min just to get some fresh air...force yourself doing that...it helps u a lot...if u say to yourself lets stay in bed thats not good at all...every day try to do something even if u dont like...just try...and try to get a very healthy food as well...this will help u a lot too...eat all the meals...little but often. ..and drink plenty of water...
U gonna be well soon...just be positive! !!
Yeah I feel sick, I go really hot but get the shakes sometimes dizziness.
Thank you it means a lot for the reply sometimes it just gets hard to face it and I try talking to people around me but I feel like they don't understand and that they think I will instantly feel better the next day and it doesn't work that way, they don't seem to understand that I'm not anxious about one particular thing either it's about everything little things can set it off it just feels good to know that someone else is out there feeling the same so again thank you
I've been trying my best to do new things and things that get my anxiety going because they are things I used to love doing but my anxiety has taken over and I no longer want to or can face going out and doing them I have gotten better and I am slowly making progress but people say to me theropy didn't help me which makes me worry as I'm so fed up with feeling this way
Yeah it is good to speak to people that are going through the same things you are. People who haven't experienced the same sort of anxiety but have had some form of it claim that they understand but really they don't, which is the most frustrating thing!
Hope everything works out okay, your welcome!
Yeah they try their best but that sometimes makes it worse as you can't really explain why you feel the way you do. And thank you I hope everything works out for you too and that you get it sorted
Hi
Do you mind me asking how old you are? I have a daughter who is 19 and is going through the exact same thing. She has a fear of fainting and is now finding herself just wanting to lay on the couch or in bed Because everytime she tries going to a store or somewhere her anxiety takes over and she needs to leave. She feels discouraged that she fails. She is currently on lexapro but I don't think it is helping. I wasn't sure if her going on posts like this would help her or if she would read other people's symptoms or issues that they have and make her feel the same way as she tends to be very negative about everything
I am 22 but when mine was at its worst I was 18 and I was the same as your daughter. But my fear wasn't fainting my fear was bein sick in public it got so bad that I wouldn't eat before going out I couldn't eat around people and I would avoid doing things due to it. I wasn't on any medication I was too afraid to go to the doctors about it. I found ways of coping with it so for me it would be to have sweets something I could chew to keep myself and mind occupied I would really recommend that as it is something I still do now I alway have chewing gum with my I don't know why it work for me it just does. Another thing that I found helpful is talking about it if your daughter wants to talk to someone about it you are more then welcome to tell her about me on here and I will try my best to help her
