Anxiety

[Depressedmommy21]

I feel trapped on my own thoughts, it just sucks to feel like you have no one , my hearts racing I’ve literally been crying for days I hate feeling like this I’ve tried several different medicines but nothing seems to be working I want to give up so bad.

Lexapro helped me a lot. I also joined Codependents Anonymous and celebrate recovery both have been great.

My anxiety has gotten so bad that I can’t take new medicine it kills me to take pills

I know the feeling! Like you have no one. It’s the worst. But you’re here, and you’re reaching out to people who feel what you feel – that’s big! We feel it to, sister! I know that doesn’t take the pain away, but know it: I’m here, feeling what you’re feeling. We’re here.

You've made it this far, so please keep going. I know how bad anxiety and depression are. They and the thoughts that come feel so overwhelming, but we must leave the irrational where it belongs...to the side and out of the way. I know this website helps a bit and understand you feel alone...but remember there are soooo many people on here and those who aren't on here...we're all in this together. There will be better days ahead where you don't feel this bad. I promise. Deep breathing, relax, let the negative thoughts go. Your kiddos (assuming you have kid(s) based on screen name) need their mommy, and it's important that you don't give up on yourself.

The medications don't work for me either. I've tried them all and all I got was more depression from weight gain. While they aren't great for long-term solutions, were you able to try a benzo class med with success? Anything to give you some relief. Keep talking on here if you need to....there's so much help and support....and there's a lot of different methods to try. CBT and other therapies. Acupuncture, exercise, yoga. On and on....so maybe other things will work for you over the medication. You don't have "no one", I can promise that. There are more people in your life that care than you realize. And your thoughts are going to throw you every bad bone they can dig up....but it's just garbage. Show yourself some self-love, kindness, and give yourself a break. Try not to let all the negative thoughts take lead.

I really hope you're feeling better and hope things improve. Wipe the tears away and try to find some light or positive in your life for right now. Let us know how you're doing now...any better? Don't give up on a solution, there will be one that's perfect for you. Thoughts and well wishes, stay strong.

It may feel difficult for you at the moment. Find the light inside of you. I promise you it is there. Bring it upon yourself and more positive possibilities will be found among you. Opening more doors for you. Even the ones which feel locked as you feel for the moment. Stay strong and keep you strength and faith up. Have hope and all is possible. 😊

I've been there and am there. I fought anxiety for 40 years. Medicine has helped me a lot but my brain still wants to go to all these bad thoughts. Don't give up, talk to your doctor. Finding the right medicine can be trial and error. I'm doing that right now. There are many medicines to try, you'll find the one that works.
