Locking up

[goodcluck42]

Whenever I feel anxious about something, it snowballs until I am this anxious, angry mess and I feel like my body locks up. I can’t control myself and I can’t make myself leave the situation no matter how hard I physically try. Does this happen to anyone else? What can I do about it?

I think your insight is wonderful! When I used to do the same, I couldn’t have expressed it the way you just did! It has taken a lot of maturity on my part and plenty of Lithium to overcome that way of living. I used to have a bad temper and ruminate over all things that were not to my liking. I think time and maturity have done me the most good. You should be pleased with your ability to look at yourself honestly because to me, that’s half the battle. Keep doing what you’re doing...you’re going to be just fine!

I am sorry you are dealing with this. Anxiety is a really difficult thing to deal with. My anxiety causes me to feel empty inside sometimes. I have to let my closest family member know so that they can help me the best that they can. Have you thought about speaking with a professional about what you are going through? This may help your situation a lot and may help get to the root of it. I hope everything gets better.
