WORRY AND ANXIETY

[physicalman]

Hi, I am a man in my late 50s and have suffered with anxiety for most of my adult life! though recently i would say in the past few years it has taken over my everyday life with constant worry and stress about events and people. I am looking for help , chat and advice! thank you.

I can relate with suffering from anxiety. In the evenings I get really uncomfortable and have extremely high anxiety. I am really struggling with it bad tonight and would be happy to chat.

Hello, I am sorry you have this affliction. I have been cursed with high anxiety this year along with with clinical depression. I have been receiving treatment, the Psych. Dr. does not want me on Xanax or a benzodiazapan as they can become addictive. He has me on Gabapentin 300 mg 4 times a day. Has tried some other pills, and we just got lucky, he put me on Viibryd 20 mg that was just 2 weeks ago, and I am back to functioning like my old self. I would find myself a Dr. and get some help, no need to suffer when the right med. is out there for you. Talk to us, we can probably help you, and we care as we are fellow sufferers and like to help each other. I send you strength and love. Sprinkle 1......

p.s. Do not be worried about awkward, we do not care about that, we care about helping each other, and being helped ourselves. xx

I can relate, I am already stressing about something I have to do Thursday. This is my first time chatting so I may be awkward but I can listen>

It's amazing how much talking to people that are or have going through the same thing as you. No one seems to judge on here. You have definitely come to the right place.

Hey physicalman welcome aboard. My own "anxiety resume" is relatively light, but now that I know what to look for, I see how pervasive it is in my life. Often, as soon I start to relax, another life event comes along or I just plain relapse. Keep your eyes open as you're clearly doing, and be comforted by the idea that you're not alone.

HI ALL!!!! I am having the worst anxiety over things that are the next day or in the future, it causes my mind to just focus on that event that causes me to worry and have anxiety, if its that day i am fine!!! also i have anxiety over people who do not respond to me!!!! i appreciate any help! again looking for help with the same anxiety problem !! thaks for you concern frank

[SirGrits in reply to physicalman]

You might try journaling about what you're worried about in the future. Just write it down on paper in whatever words' come to mind. For me, I just straight up dictating to the page the thoughts. After writing it out, give it a moment or two to breathe and reread it. This isn't a magic bullet by any means, but doing this will a) get your thought out of your head and b) put them somewhere for you to objectively analyze.
