Hello, I’m new to this and I figured id give it a shot. I’ve dealt with anxiety and depression for 8 years now. Some days it’s hard for me to even get out of bed. And my anxiety will just come outta know where and my chest will hurt. I feel like something is physically wrong with me, but when I go to the doctors everything is fine. My boyfriend and family don’t understand how it is since they don’t have it and they think I’m dramatic 😂. I’ve been going to the gym cut down on my drinking and caffeine but it doesn’t seem to help. How

Do you guys calm yourself down?!?

Welcome ! I know what you mean half

Of my family think I'm nuts but I'm really not, anxiety makes you feel all kinda of ways one minute I'm fine then I'm dying then I'm gonna stop breathing , then etc etc. we're all here for you. If you ever need someone to talk to message me

I feel the same way. My chest will hurt and I put in my head I’m gonna have a heart attack. And when it gets really bad I feel like I’m gonna die because I can’t breathe. It’s a crappy feeling

Yes it is ! But one thing I learned throughout my whole experience is one quote I live by " what you fear the worst cannot happen "

Hello. I also suffer from severe depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc. The combo is enough to make anyone feel sick. The Depression is tricky. I have been stuggling with it for almost 20 years and still have a hard time managing it. I try to stay busy also and go to the gym to get outta my head and improve my body. It does help most of the time but I still struggle and I am also under a Therapist snd dr's care, get ECT treatments, practice mindfulness,etc. and still have horrible, guilty, miserable feelings of depression everyday. It's hard. But you are definitely not alone. That's why we are all here. I'm sure you are a wonderful person. Try not to let it get the best of you. Try to focus on all the things that you see and feel that are good about yourself. I stopped working do to the depression and anxiety. It's really tough to manage. When it's beautiful outside, I suck up the sun, ride my bike to and through the park with my music on of course and lay in the grass. So relaxing. I suddenly don't have a care in the world. Sometimes it's the smallest, simplest thing that can help you tremendously. Try to have a great day! Best wishes.🤗
