so i was diagnosed with anxiety about 3 months ago. and to say the least, it’s kind of destroyed the world that i once knew. i know i’m slowly on the right track to feeling like my whole self again but it’s still really hard. i know that i’ve gotten the official diagnosis and everything but just coming to terms with the fact that i have to deal with this for the rest of my life is hard. there’s certain things i want to overcome in regards to my anxiety, but i don’t know how to overcome them when i still haven’t come to terms with the fact that i have anxiety in general. does anyone have any advice with how to cope/deal with this??

Hi Aubree, I know exactly what you’re talking about. If you view my page you’ll see all the crazy episodes I’ve posted. Every attack seems like the first time. It’s hard bc I’ve changed so much and now I’m dependent on certain people. I was never home, always hung out with family and friends, always fixed myself just living life. After my attack, I’ve become a homebody, can’t even get off the couch, wouldn’t shower for days all bc I didn’t know what was wrong with me. I suffer from anxiety, panic attacks, had depression etc. Everyday is a struggle and everyone hears the same sob story esp when it hits me. I feel horrible but it’s the truth- I still feel alone at times bc I don’t know many people who go through the same thing I do. Anyway, feel free to message me my friend.

I'm glad you feel you are on track but try not to project too far into the future. Take one day at a time, the best you can, and you will feel differently over time as you gain strength and the tools to cope. Life can bring wonderful things along with the difficult days. Do your best not to drown in the tough ones and enjoy the beauty in the little things. Hugs

Hi, I understand what you're saying, challenge isn't it though? We can learn to deal with it though. It's all about re training our brains when all those negative, nasty thoughts come into our brains. Remember positive breeds positive & negative breeds negative. Are you able to take your mind to a happy place or time? Find something that you really enjoy doing. I'm here for you, wishing you nothing but the best! Love, peace, light, joy & hugs!
