I'm sorry you're going through this but I feel where you're coming from because I feel the same way. Praying it'll get better for us all🙏🙏
I’m with you 100 percent. I’m on vacation right now and just trying to act okay and convince myself it’s anxiety but I ended up in prompt care with a cold and fast heart rate and just feel horrible.
Me too i hate it i dont do anything anymore im scared to now i dont know what to do anymore i feel like im dying or something is wrong i get really emotional and change moods and urge to urinate all these weird things and hang in there
As daft as it may sound, I'd suggest taking a couple of weeks away from social media. No googling, no forums. Just give yourself a little break and see how you feel. Sometimes the constant act of browsing, reading articles, looking up your symptoms or just posting for reassurance (counter productive as it may seem) actually make it worse, as you're feeding that cycle. You get short term relief but it doesn't last long term.
Take the time to write down your thoughts and concerns. Challenge your thoughts and rationalize them. If you don't have a solid fact or evidence to support it, let it go.
Track your symptoms during the course of the day and find out if there is a pattern or trigger for them.
There are no easy or quick fixes I'm afraid, takes a lot of time and practice. X
On any benzos? If so could be the cause.
Everyday i'm battling anxiety .before I can do lots of things .this past few weeks I can't work when the anxiety attacks and it made me worthless. But I will not surrender I will fight this anxiety I'm thinking and searching ways to overcome this anxiety. I'm encouraging you also to fight .. Sitting down and doing nothing is not the solution .
Great advice. 👍
May I ask if you are taking any medications?
