Hello everyone, Ive got a anxiety disorder for almost 3 years. It has affected my life a lot. I had a job, was going to school and had a lot of friends, still I was very insecure due to a abusive youth. Well its getting better step by step (very very little steps) but i keep on going and I try to find a way to get rid of it once and for all. I opened this discussion for a question; What is the best thing to do when you feel like losing control of yourself, mind and body? Because thats my biggest fear that would happened to me. I got therapy from a doctor, but I was just curious if you guys can give me tips in this situation?
Hi,I think the key is trying to put yourself in the moment you are in,not the past,not the future. Ask am I safe right now,etc. Another great help to me is get outside,nature really helps to bring fears into perspective,a peaceful lake,river,taking a ride in the country, a pretty park,the woods watching birds and animals. Nature is amazing for stress.
Nature doesn’t really feel that good for me at all, it doesn’t really matter where I am, the only safe spot for me is at home . I am just to focused on whats going on in my thoughts. Doing a workout helps me to extract my self, but its not like its the key to get rid of it. Pff my life is a real mess and i feel also depressed besides my disorder. I don’t see a good future for myself to be honest.
I can relate,I have more an anxiety then depression,however both my sons have depression,I’m starting to think it has alot to do with hereditary as my husbands family had alot of people with depression,bi polar etc. My son was suicidal this last summer,thank God he called a help line,He now is on new meds and is doing well,perhaps a new doctor and meds might help. I hope you feel better,its so hard,but with the right doctoring you can get over it.
Hi
You have to find a way of leaving with it. Get a hobby. Find something that u like.. I actually listen to music when I feel stressed. It does make me feel. Better.
Yeah, hobbies help a bit, I got 2; Drawing and making music, but still that negative vibe remains all the time. Hobbies feel like distraction, but not as the cure
Check on ur surroundings.. Sometimes we spend time people who are negative then we end up being negative as well… Anyway when I feel negatively I talk to people who will lift up my spirit🤔
