[nicky602279]

I just want to be normal why do i have to have anxiety and depression and so much more it takes a toll on me i hate panicking for literally everything my health anxiety is at it’s worst right now and it all started when i got my ear infection last week, that triggered everything again 😓 i was good for a couple years i had little episodes but not too horrible right now it is so horrible I don’t know what to do i feel like im in a dark hole I don’t wanna do anything and just be in bed and let my thoughts take over me 💔 i always convince myself that something is wrong with me when there isn’t 😩

Anxiety and depression like to lie to you, make you feel like there is something wrong with you. It's a horrible feeling, but I promise that that there is nothing wrong with you! It sucks that we have to deal with those things. Just remember that as sure as anxiety will show up, so will relief..remember to breathe and try to distract yourself. I'll keep you in my prayers!

You're very welcome! I'm sorry you have to go through this, I hate it too. It happens to me all the time. I'm always thinking there's something wrong when there isn't. I'm just glad we have this group, everyone is so supportive!

You are not alone! I am gong through the same thing right now! Pray or meditate hard! That has been helping me and I haven’t been keeping anything inside. If you have someone you trust—- tell them how you feel. Cry if you have to just let it out. l wake up shaking and scared but lm so blessed to have a support system and this app is amazing bc ppl are so supportive. My anxiety started last week too and these past few days have been soooo hard. Keep reassuring yourself that you will get through this bc you will! I know this feeling is only temporary I know it comes and goes but I keep telling myself I am in control and my CREATOR is too! Blessings to you!

Hey there, I was in a similar place just a few days ago. I was doing really well managing my anxiety and depression consistently but had a bit of a struggle again recently so I know exactly how you're feeling. Depression and Anxiety is actually pretty common. "Normal" is a cliche society has made up to alienate people. At the end of the day, you're supported and others are going through a similar kind of pain (although each individual story is different)

I'm so sorry you're feeling this way, I know it sucks so bad when things seem to be going great and all of a sudden everything comes crashing down. However, this pain won't last. Why? Because you are loved, you are cherished, and nothing is wrong with you. You're much stronger than you think.

What has been helping me whenever I feel those emotions stirring is that I try to motivate and hype myself up for every little thing that I've done. For instance, when I find it hard to get out of bed in the morning, I try to interupt the thoughts and think "Well, all you gotta do is throw the covers off first..that's it, you can do that ,its so easy!" and then when the covers come off I think "Omg you're amazing! You couldn't even do that yesterday... Maybe now you can sit up in bed?" I literally cheer myself on every step of the way and before I know it, I'm completely out of bed and I hype myself up the hardest there because I know that doesn't happen often either.

I also post mantras on sticky notes all over my room so that when anxiety comes up (or right after I've gotten out of bed), I try to find and read one sticky note. It helps me feel better and grounded. Remember, an object in motion stays in motion. It all starts with one small step. That's a lot to read, but I hope this technique helps you.

Stay strong, sending you a bigggg hug !

You are not alone. My health triggers the worst anxiety/panic. Keep fighting, you’re going to make it to the other side better and stronger than before. ❤️

[nicky602279 in reply to Thistooshallpass90]

For sure, it’s totally understandable that it will take time. Take it easy on yourself ☺️
