Hey, i am new here and i am still don’t know what and why am i doing this.. okay first, i have an anxiety problem. At the beginning, i don’t exactly want to talk about this to other people, but then i saw so many stories on instagram or youtube were published and has been inspiring so many people, including myself. So now i’m embracing it and not trying to hide it.. if someone out there having the same problem with me, what kind of anxiety you have/had, can you share with me? Cause honestly, i still figure out what kind of anxiety that inside my head, and why i have this kind of anxiety.. Hope to hear from all of you there

Heya! Welcome! In order to figure out what type of anxiety you have...I would recommend speaking to a professional. Speaking to a professional in order to get properly diagnosed does not mean that you need to take medication or anything. This is just so you can get the right diagnosis and then you get things off on the right foot

[Natasha_1994 in reply to SantoRyu]

Well, honestly.. i wish i can talk to a professional someday. It’s kinda expensive to talk to the professional than just the regular person. That is why i do not know exactly how bad is my anxiety level how the meds help you? Is it really helping you to go through your day?

[SantoRyu in reply to Natasha_1994]

I am not on any meds at this time. I will be going for a psychiatric evaluation within a couple of weeks. I wouldn’t be able to answer that question for quite some time; it may take some time for me to find the right medicine and it also takes some time for the meds to start working. It is a process that will require me to take many baby steps one day at a time.

The way to possible answer the question of how bad your anxiety may be is to take s9me time to self reflect and “monitor” yourself. Does it affect you daily or only during certain situations would be a good question for you to try to answer for yourself :).

[Natasha_1994 in reply to SantoRyu]

Ah i see that.. it’s nice to hear that you are in a good term of your psychiatric evaluation. Good luck with that

[SantoRyu in reply to Natasha_1994]

Thank You!

I don’t know where you are from but I know there are parts of the country/world where getting mental health treatment is very difficult. Your insurance will not cover an evaluation?

[Natasha_1994 in reply to SantoRyu]

Hehehe honestly? I don’t have any insurance. My life is just not that perfect but hey, don’t worry about me. I’ll figure out a way so i can see someone who is really a pro at this kind of disorder. It is very nice to talk to you, SantoRyu! Are you from Asia? Your name sounds asian

[SantoRyu in reply to Natasha_1994]

Well, you have people here who can be by your side while you go on this journey. We may not be able to be there physically but we can be there to listen to you, offer advise and share stories about our own personal experiences on our individual journey. I just got my insurance reactivated after being without it for several months. Don't worry...There are plenty here who can offer tips and advice on how to manage anxiety. It's a day by day process.

No, I am not Asian nor live in Asia. The name is.. you will laugh at me...it is related to a character that I like from a Japanese anime. One of my favorite shows, haha.

[Natasha_1994 in reply to SantoRyu]

Yes, and i am so thankful that i join this community so i can talk to you guys and giving me unstoppable advices and inspiring stories and knowing that i am not alone in this. Omg hahahaha thats so cute! That’s why your name sounds like japanese hahahha

[Tedddy]

Welcome! I'm new too. I love that people are beginning to open up about their mental health struggles. There are so many of us that suffer, and it's important to know we aren't alone in it. I've always had anxiety but mine became drastically worse overnight last year...I remember the exact moment it happened. I was diagnosed with GAD and have been on a journey to find what treatment works for me ever since.

[Natasha_1994 in reply to Tedddy]

Wow.. hope you’re doing fine now. And yes, people are now no longer afraid to talk to people about what happened to themselves. I am so thankful for people like that🙏🏻❤️

I’ve been dealing with mine of and on for a long time. Meds help a lot. Just had a major anxiety attack that has lasted three weeks. That ole dark, nauseating, diarrea doom feeling insides feel like a war is going on. Just a few of the systems that I have but as time goes on it does get better! There are a lot of good people in here ready to listen and help if they can do I think you are in a good place .

I will pray for you cause that’s what I do just call on the name of Jesus when it gets bad and He will hear you. Breath in good and breath out bad!!

Hugs!!

Linda

[Natasha_1994 in reply to Fluffy44]

I wish people in here are as nice as what I thought it would be, and yes! I’ve been there too.. those nausea, that makes me can’t stop crying for thinking about people that caused me to become like this... maybe all i can do for people that made me this way is only pray for them? :””””)

Thanks for being so kind, big hug! 💗
