Will my anxiety ever go away

[Add2021]

I have anxiety 😥, it’s never disappearing

Have you discussed your anxiety with your doctor ? There are a number of medications to treat anxiety. Medication does not totally eliminate anxiety. but, it can help. There are also coping techniques you can learn. You might want to see a psychologist in addition to your other doctors

[Add2021 in reply to BlessedLady]

I do have a doctor's but she told me to do the research and work myself and I did have a therapist but she went insane and dumped me as client , I doing my own thing as best I can.

[BlessedLady in reply to Add2021]

Doctors and patients are suppose to work together to find the right medication(s) and dosage. If your doctor does not want to do her part. You need to consider finding a new doctor.

You need to be seeing a psychologist or therapist. Call your insurance company and ask for the ones in your area that accept your insurance.

I’m in agreement with BlessedLady! You can get help with managing your anxiety via meds, and coping strategies. If you want to have victories, you have to have a professional help you to pin point the source, the cause of your pain. There’s always a sore under the bandage! 🤗

I had anxiety that grew over a four year period. It was due to a bad work situation. When I finally got another job and the anxiety persisted, I finally got counseling and talked to my doctor about medication. Both helped. The medication helped more than I dreamed it would, but the counseling helped me longer.

I was prescribed an SSRI called Lexapro. I only had to take it for three months, and I was out from under the anxiety.

There's help. For some people, it doesn't take as much as I needed to get better. For others, it takes more. Knowing that you have anxiety is the beginning of your healing.

Thanks for reaching out Add2021! I'm glad you're here with us!

Anxiety is the worst, it is a Mind-Killer. And by it's nature, it is not patient. It is horrific, the daunting task of clawing your way to peace. But it is not impossible, just intolerable. I cannot say what will happen for you, but I can say that you increase the odds of relief if you take steps towards it. You try to take the steps because you need relief, regardless of how relieving the step actually feels. A step out of the desert is just another step in a dry, inhospitable place. Until it isn't. There are times when you can get the terrain in your head and know that, despite the sweltering heat, despite this step feeling no better than the last, there is an oasis ahead. Use the moments and times you have insight to direct the steps, but try to keep taking them. When it's too hard, reach out. People are not always understanding, but there are always understanding people, if you reach out.

Sometimes you are at your last step, watching the last bit of water in your body fall in a drop of sweat off your brow. Knowing that you just spent the last bit of energy and have nothing left to give. And then you look up and realize that the step you just took was onto the grass of an oasis, and there are others there, already taking up your things and helping you to the waters and fruits of life.

Please keep taking steps, even if they are stumbling. We want to help, to hear you, but we need your voice. Thank you again, for taking this step, to let us know that your anxiety is overwhelming and it feels like it has no limits. Such a place is not unfamiliar to me. I don't know precisely what troubles you, but I know that you are not alone in your troubles.

Damn thats deep, did u tried being a writer, I would love to write a book about myself and my childhood trauma , but thank you for your reply .

[Zuku42 in reply to Add2021]

Thanks =D I do get swept up in metaphor sometimes haha ^_^

I can never muster enough focus to get anything much down myself, though I still want to =P You should definitely consider working on that book!

[Add2021 in reply to Zuku42]

Can't write, was part of public school system and have autism

[Zuku42 in reply to Add2021]

Our situations bring with them various obstacles and they can be so frustrating! I wouldn't discount yourself too easily, though. There can be many ways to reach your goals.

Sometimes when I ask myself what I want after I run into an obstacle, I find that the thing I'm actually wanting can be different from the method I was trying. And sometimes I realize that I want to try, even if I can't get around the obstacle. Sometimes... I just can't find the desire or the alternatives. But it's less often than I expect, most weeks.

I hope that this finds you well and in a moment of peace =)

Always looking for additional tools (coping techniques) that may help, here is one that I came across a week ago in my search regarding coping with the grief and loss of a loved one...and the courses provided by this person are free...brightermornings.com/course...

Medication can provide a brief respite thereby allowing you time to learn coping techniques that can be depended on moving forward. Best of success and always remember that support can be found even in the darkest hour.

You have a partner for the haul, not bad , I'm took sick and broke. I might be to narcissistic and to black pill for anything.

I agree with everyone above. I’d like to add DAILY EXERCISE! Wake up early and get it done! I’m referring to walking for anywhere from 25 min to an hour daily at a good pace. Walk as though your late. Bring a water bottle and listen to up beat music or self improvement Podcasts. Then come home to a high protein, low/no sugar breakfast. Continue to eat healthy by having a plate with more vegetables than starch and meat, removing the sugars and keeping the carbs to a minimum.I’ll always have a dog so we’ll keep each other fit and healthy. I walk him every morning for about 45 min then again at night for another 15-20. My daughter who also has ADHD and Anxiety works out at the gym every day. Including yoga is helpful and I like to swim a couple days a week too. My son does Jujitsu 3 days a week and he at the gym on the other days.

When I don’t exercise, I’m depressed and can just “loose it”(as my kids say) so easily.

You need to find what works for you and your lifestyle. Bottom line, get your heart beat going for at least 30 min daily and eating well will make all the difference! You’ll likely need the medication but you also need to adjust your lifestyle (and your families).

Good Luck

In my experience, it will not go away, but if you're able to get curious about it, it's not as much of a 'disorder' as it seems. It's a bit like a heightened awareness of bad things that could happen. I often feel like I won't be able to handle it and I can't handle it. But I'm not dead yet, and I have 37 years in a row of not dying. Plus, some people are kind, and they'll be sympathetic to your having anxiety. They do seem hard to find, but this is coming from someone who avoids a lot of social interaction due to anxiety. So maybe they're not so hard to find? If this isn't helpful, feel free to tell me this comment isn't helpful. It won't go away, but if you thought about it a lot, you'd realize you don't want it to go away, entirely.

I also got tinnitus, epilepsy and PTSD , right now, it sucks ,I'm becoming a misanthrope

[username9045 in reply to Add2021]

That sounds awful. It can be so difficult to not become cynical. Most people mean well but their good intentions aren't enough to be helpful and can be counterproductive. But some people mean well and know what they're doing, and you can find those people. And also, you have to help yourself, and the more unique your situation is, the more difficult it is to figure out yourself. But you're the best person to do it (not discouraging help, I'm trying to say that you're the expert on you, and you'll have to help yourself more than you might feel capable of). I'm sorry you're having a hard time, for what it's worth.
