Setback

Thanks Davit. I always worry myself that there's something else wrong with me but I get real good days and when I'm busy I don't have anxiety or other issues. I worry myself too much about anxiety, and health and just not feeling okay..

I will try to accept things as they come and don't label it just let them be for now

How´s it going?

 trying to keep positive and hopeful... I went for a job interview a few days ago and I really want it.  This will be cherry on top if I get it. (crossing my fingers).  Also, at the same time trying to keep the anxiety away from my personal space...burying it deeper and deeper, far from my imagination.

Hope everyone has a good day today....keeping hopeful :)

Help!

Hi just wanted some help! 

I had a real bad scare today. I've been soon real well but I always have this fear of this being more than anxiety. Oland because it's classified as a mental illness i'm always scared that I'll get mentally sick and be diagnosed with some horrible mental illness. 

I had a little panic attack today but like usual I know how to pay it no attention. I kind of call it "rebooting or recharging myself", take a deep breath and start over. But today I've been feeling like something is mentally wrong like I'm going crazy or losing my mind or something. Is this just a symptom of anxiety? I've been worried about this all day that's why I feel panicky all day 

Can someone shed some light on this and help me ease my mind???? I don't want to fear this anymore, this is the only thing holding me back from being anxiety free as I now can control my panic attacks! 

Help!

Help!

Yes Davit, most of my anxiety comes back to me by memory. I am trying to bury it but I always think about it…

Or when I think or worry about my health, I start to think about it too much causing me anxiety attacks.

feel embarassed due to depression & anxiety

I was the same way a few months ago, but I did dig deep in my self to find the old me.  I don't know if your anxiety was worse than mine but I finally just told myself to not let my anxiety get me.  I can defeat it.  I made it to what it was and I can let it go away.  After a few days of trying, it got easier and then finally i realized it was gone. 

I'm dealing with a setback right now but I'm determined to make it go away again.  I started a new job and I feel better.  It worse if you keep yourself locked up, I had moments where I wanted to but the times of confidence and times when I forgot all about anxiety is what got me through.  I said to myself If I can forget about anxiety for an hour, I can forget about anxiety for good.

Good luck!

Hi Davit, usually when I think to myself I'm not OKAY I get anxiety.  I worry myself and causes anxiety. 

I'm having a setback right now, but I always tell myself I was worse a few months ago and if I can get through that time, I can get through this!

Understand anxiety

Hi Ashley,

I feel I am in control of my anxiety, but now I feel like I'm having set back.  There is always a worry that this can be something else, or can lead to a more serious mental illness.  CAn this happen?  I feel that if I can reassure myself and tell myself that this can not get worse than I can be okay.

That I can totally overcome this, I'm almost 85% confident I can overcome anxiety.  I feel that I have overcome the worse so I can do it again.  Plus I've done a lot of research and etc to learn more about this. 

I have the love of life that I never had before.  I grab the day as it comes and enjoy it.  I also, am proud of myself for overcoming the worse thing i've ever had to go through before in my life.

CAn you tell me what anxiety can lead to???? CAn it get worse than what it is??? CAn it cause you to go crazy, because sometimes I have those moments of feeling crazy?

Understand anxiety

I learnt again that I feel what I think. I got caught up in my having another setback and got scared all over again, therefore giving me another panic attack and anxiety. 

But this time it didn't last long because I've felt this all before and I'm still here, normal and healthy. 

Davit was right, you have to feel and ride the anxiety, to learn and get experience from it. It doesn't scare you like it used to. 

Hopefully it will be up from here...

bad day today

Oh how I know how you feel. Davit is veteran on this…I an amateur.  I was in the same position you were in last summer. I didn't know what was normal anymore… I felt detached, even depressed and I am never sad about my life.
I was also worried about me health…all the time.  Till now I am. But now I just learn to relax and tell myself…so what?  So what if I have this ? or what will happen?   You can't control what's going to happen thats why we have these panic attacks, because we think we are losing control.  I've been where you were and I felt the worse I did in my life but I'm telling you doing these CBT exercises and challenging the thoughts will work….you just can't fight it and let it be.

I"m not 100% better, like right now I'm feeling a little blue and anxious but it helps that I've gone through the worse so I know nothing will happen. You have to get there to, so it helps not be scared of it.

Good luck and remember you feel what you think…This saying helps me everyday.

Mood Swings

I get mood swings also. I get feelings of sadness and agitation. Other than that i've been doing better since my panic attack days.  I guess just the troubles of life makes me sad…also the fact that I haven't had any sun.
