I give up.

[maskedjinn]

I don't think I'll ever get past my anxiety I get a bit better only to go backwards again. Some days I just want to give up no matter how hard I try I can't change who I've became. I feel trapped. Some days I'm like "I did well today" other days I'm depressed thinking about how bad it still is and how much of a failure I am. It's been 4 years at least and I still haven't beat anxiety. I might just sit there and let it take over me because I can't try anymore. 😢😢 I can never be good enough. everyone around me is far more confident than I'll ever be.

You can’t be so hard on yourself. At least you’re trying and you’re aware of your situation and want to get better, that’s the first step. Have you ever considered medication ? Sometimes meds can help alleviate the stress that comes with anxiety. Just remember it’s a part of you and it’s something you have to battle every day and that’s okay. You will get better at it as long as you keep trying. You’re not alone. There’s someone in this world who feels exactly the way you do. Not EVERYONE is more confident than you and most people don’t display the real version of themselves. But your anxiety doesn’t define you and you will overcome it slowly but surely. Just remember I believe in you.

Don’t get discouraged. I was agoraphobic for fourteen years. Things get frustrating at times but it is well worth the sacrifice.

Ironically, sitting there and letting it take over you...and not trying anymore to struggle with your anxiety or change who you've become...may be exactly the thing that will eventually drain your anxiety of most of its power. It's counter-intuitive, but the struggle against anxiety is what fuels it. Giving up the struggle is what weakens it. So this frustration could end up empowering you.

I so agree with Temmo1. Those are wise words.

My heart goes out to you! I have struggled with anxiety for several years myself, but it was really rough for only about a year. I think the turning point for me was when I started focusing on others. One time I baked cookies for all my neighbors! It sounds like such a simple thing, but just the act of reaching out to someone else really helped me. I don't think that I'm ever going to "beat" anxiety, but I do know that I can live with it. Anxiety doesn't have to hold you hostage! I'm praying that you will find meaning and purpose in your life to move past the struggle.
