Does anyone else ever look at other people's lives and wonder why you can't be normal like them? I really hate anxiety

Every day it must be so nice to live without a pit in your stomach at all times
Right? I feel nausea everyday of my life. If only I could get proper support. I saw my counselor last week. She gives me nutritional advice! I've been through cbt and I'm already taking all the supplements she recommended. Total waste of my time. I'm for nutrition but when I'm already doing those things it's frustrating. I'm also a nurse so I already know the nutrition game! Ugh!
Ughhh yes! It’s horrible and now my psych just kicked me off klonopin with no replacement after being on it for 6 years Bc she decided she didn’t like it anymore so now I’m going through withdrawal too which is the worst !
Your doctor didn’t ween you off? You need to call and tell her about your withdrawals and report her or call the office to speak to her boss. Klonopin is the worst withdrawal. I ran out for 5 days last month (I took an extra few over a few days because I was extra anxious). I was sweaty, so anxious and uncomfortable in my body. I’m sure you know all of this. See if the doctor can write you a script immediately. I wish you the best and try to relax as much as you can 🙏🏼
She took me from 2 mg a day to 1/2 mg a day and now I’m naseaus all the time headaches can’t sleep shaking sweaty and diarrhea sorry for the tmi it’s horrible and makes me feel like a druggie😫
She didn’t do a good job at all with weening you off. If you’re on something for that long, it should take a few months to ween off. Make sure to call and be honest. Tell her you are experiencing awful withdrawal and to get even a week supply. This isn’t right.
I’m looking for a new psychiatrist
Klonopin withdrawal is terrible! You need to call your Dr. I withdrew from that and than effexor. Effexor withdrawal is the worst I've had! I was off meds for a few months but here I am back on them. Thus time I'm taking Trintellix. 10 mg gave me diarrhea. That was awful so now I'm only doing 5 mg. I see my psychiatrist in October so I'm hoping for better relief or at least more answers where to go as far as my future. Looking like disability. Any experiences anyone can share about getting disability?
I’m a family lawyer so I’ve had a bunch of clients that have applied although I don’t do that area of law myself. You usually get denied at first then approved on appeal so it can be a long process. You’d probably be better off using a disability lawyer so you get approved sooner. In my state they don’t take anything up front and fees are capped. Worth looking into. Good luck!
WTH, not right!
I'm trying to make disability a last resort as I've always worked. It sounds like a tidious process so hopefully I'll get better!
I think about this all the time. However, I’ve also been trying to think about positive things that I have in my life that others don’t like how my anxiety has made me more aware, empathetic, accepting and loving of other people in my life. Instead of thinking about why you have anxiety and how it would feel to not, think about how it has made you a better person ( I know it’s a negative thing, but just think about how you can’t have the sunshine without the darkness). Sending support to you!
Thank you! I love the feedback I'm getting!
I hope so too! Good luck $
i feel you!!!
Truly I do appreciate other people's weaknesses and see them through different eyes. Now, if I could be so forgiving with myself. I feel the pressure to keep going as I'm the main bread winner in my family but scared of when I'm going to lose it. Sometimes I just want permission to lose it, not hearing the constant Oh you'll be ok, just keep going. Easier said than done
I also wish for the same. I stress over so stupid stuff which leads me to big and serious trouble. It hurts so much. I wish I would be different
I used to. I don’t anymore. I have lived long enough now to realize no ones life is perfect. Everyone has a cross to carry. I also try to remind myself to be kind to everyone I meet because you just don’t know what they are going through.
All the time!! But I wonder how normal are they appear to be😁
Yes! But I do agree that having anxiety and depression have made me a person of compassion and love for others. I am very introspective and care deeply for others, if I didn’t have these problems I don’t think I would be so in tune.
All the time....!
Yes,
Every single day!
I think my comparison to others would cause my anxiety. It was hard when I saw my own life come to a complete halt and I would see others adventurous and living. But I now remind myself that I have my own plans and my own identity and that helps. We want relief from our anxiety and depression, but at the same time, we can use all we have learned through it to impact others in a way that people without anxiety wouldn't understand. I pray that you find peace in the battle and victory over anxiety.
Thank you!
Omg yes I say this to myself all the time!
