Yes I understand and I keep telling my self that I’ll be okay that this shall pass that I’ve been here before and trying to fall asleep is so hard right now I’m so tired I close my eyes and boom my heart starts to race full speed I feel like I’m having a heart attack I start hyperventilating it’s so hard to not feel fear but right now I’m lost
You should never be embarrassed about your anxiety. It is a medical illness just like any other illness. If you had diabetes you would not be embarrassed. Anxiety is the same thing. It can came and go. I used to be ashamed of my anxiety and depression until I realized it is a medical condition. I have been on disability for 2 months and I am going back to work in a week. I am terrified that my anxiety will fill my entire day but I realized this is a medical condition. Not everyone knows what it feels like but many people have known someone who has had problems like ours. Hold your head up proud and know you are never alone in your struggle.
Anxiety can be terrifying. I know in my head that it’s anxiety - it’s a thing going on in my head, not necessarily realistic. But head-knowledge only helps sometimes. I hate anxiety and panic attacks, and I wish they would just go away and leave me alone.
