Hi everyone, Last week I am going through a hell. My anxiety, panic and gloomy thoughts are constantly there. I am going to bed with it and I wake up with it. Getting outside gives me massive panic attacks because I feel so vulnerable and I feel like a volcano which can explode any minute. I can't take any stress at the moment from anything. I feel like I'm getting crazy from all the stuff I am going through. Why I feel this way? That's a long story, but recently I heard that my psychologist can't help me anymore and I am on my own right now. She said I could go get clinical help, but that makes me feel really miserable and thinking about it makes me super depressed about myself and anxious. I went to town to look for natural supplements to try out. Getting over there was a real struggle, but I found some stuff. I tried lavender oil, but to be honest it makes me nervous, because my belly felt really bad. It may work when I am little less anxious, but not for now. I also got magnesium, where I can't tell much about yet, but I hope it will have a positive effect. I also going to make a appointment with my doctor for medicine, but I don't look very forward to it. I want to take medicine, but on the other hand I really doubt it would help me out. I feel like it will suppress my emotions even more then it does now. I try to cry for so long, but tears won't come. It makes me so frustrated. I tried some meditation, but my concentration is so bad and I am feeling super nervous doing it. I tried one which said that it was helpful for letting suppressed emotions go, but it gave me more anxiety and stress then I already had. I really want to give meditation a try though, but I think I'll need directions on where to start with etc. I want to be less anxious, stressful and clear away all this negative thinking. I want to open my self up and unblock the things which I can't face right now. At least that's what I really want, but anxiety is taking the overhand. I feel like I am getting crazy if I think of all the shit what comes and came up in my mind. I'm too afraid to face it. I'm struggling with anxiety for 3 years and I came in a really small world because of that. I tried so much, but I'm feeling completely lost at the moment. I am losing my hope that I'll be okay eventually. I feel all this anxiety and thoughts really putted scratches on my soul and I don't see how I can normally function anymore in society because of this. Why does someone have to live this way? I mean what's the point? I am as unhappy as a human could be and I am only 20 years old. Why can't there be some light for me at the end of the tunnel for once!
youre NOT ALONE! for everybody suffering from anxiety/panic its hard… i myself have anxiety and depression and i dont take meds… its very hard and i feel that way at times too and also feel like this is my life and will its never going go be completely gone… which makes me frustrated BUT I WONT GIVE UP & you shouldnt either… its good to be around positive people… social media makes it worse and this site has helped me to know im not alone… it helps talking to people who UNDERSTAND exactly how you feel also… try and eat helathier and exercise! that always makes me feel better after exercising… but soemtimes i get depressed and dont wanna get up… but i need to push myself… im gonna start doing yoga and when you start to think negative just remember try and tell your mind something positive… i know it feels horrible but try and see what helps you not makes ot worse
Well, it feels that way sometimes… Like I been doomed to suffer from anxiety for my entire life. I’m so disappointed in life… I mean, I have zero joy. I’ve been busy with anxiety for 3 years straight without breaks. I feel tired and lost. I just want to be for once worry free.. Going out to parties etc. I feel like I am throwing away my time and if I don’t look out I’m 30 and lost my entire youth. Before the 3 years of anxiety I couldn’t enjoy anything as well due to other problems. I’m so afraid that I can’t change myself.. It’s taking so long that motivation to take steps is getting more difficult as well.
im 37 and have been dealing with this for about 5-6 years… i get it but a cure for it is hard to look foward too because havent heard of anybody being cured… the best thing is to find ways to cope and find ways to help lower your anxiety… i literally get full blown panic attacks where i feel im gonna faint and have a heart attack… my symptoms are endless and i have health anxiety plus the stress and depresion… gosh trust me i know but ive learned if theres no cure… we have to work on finding what helps us cope and control these symptoms… but i get it completely… everyday i wake up sad and soemtimes for no reason at all… at one point i was getting panic attacks everyday soemtimes 5 times a day … ER VISITS … just horrible but its been three weeks with no attacks… try and talk to people like me who have it tht had helped me to understand it more and help others who are like is who dont understand always helps to make someone elses day easier
I just can’t picture me living this way my entire life. This is no life at all. Alright, I understand it may never go completely away, but I can’t stick with the idea everything has to be my entire life. I have no freedom at all right now and I can’t even function in society like no job, very little social contacts etc.
I feel like I can’t put things together a lot of times inside my mind. Like this crying for example.. It feels blocked.
Definitely I would help people out if I can. No one should be living this way.
i get what youre saying cause i dont wanna see my life like this forever either… i tell myself the same thing… but i dont wanna take meds… its not a cure its just helps SOME poeple … some it makes worse so idk myself what to do… just try and be positive and im going to try therapy but we will see… if you ever need to talk im here
