Tired of playing the waiting game.

Lately it seems like I just live my life from one crisis to the next. I know that I need to just live in the moment and not worry about tomorrow or dwell on what happened yesterday. I know that I should be happy with my life but it is like I’m always looking for something to worry about and have anxiety and if I don’t have anything going on I constantly wonder where the next attack will come from. All I want is to feel normal and enjoy life. Is that really asking for too much?

I wonder that too!! I just want to be happy but I'm not. My life isn't bad at all, but I don't enjoy it either. Sometimes I wish I could just disappear, not exist anymore.

I don't know the answer, I only know that I worry a lot too!

Apparently things like meditation and yoga help. And stop focusing on the negative but on the positive instead. These are things I 've come across, not sure if it is of any help to you...

Yes I’ve tried all of those things and sometimes it does help but lately it seems to be not enough and the worry and anxiety becomes overwhelming.

I know, I'm in the same boat. The one other thing I'm trying is taking Bach Flower essences (because I'm not too keen on the chemical stuff...)

Therapy did help me too to some extend...

Absolutely not too much to ask, we all desire a healthy life free from anxiety. Unfortunately, worry is a common symptom for most, if not all of us . You have the right mind-set to look forward and not back. Counseling/therapy is one step forward in learning to cope with anxiety and depression, a means to discover the root of your anxiety and to work towards acceptance and healing. Psychiatry may be recommended for help with medication treatment. Help from others experiencing anxiety is an excellent way to gain advice and support . . . and coming to post allows one to voice fears and frustration. Glad you're here . . . wishing you well . . . peace.

I go through that too- you are not alone. Yesterday , I saw a sign that really resonated. Refuse to be a victim.
