Not Alone

Hello! I’m new on here and realize I am not alone with anxiety... sometimes I feel like I’m suffering in silence and fighting this all by myself. I wake up feeling sadness for no reason and I go to bed worrying about nothing. The daily cycle of the ‘A’ word

I have a nice home, friends, a place to work, and why do I feel sadness

Sadness isn't anxiety?

Being so anxious has caused sadness, just being tired of repetitive worries, stuff I can’t control Anxiety and depression are like friends hand in hand..

Ok I understand it was initially anxiety and that induced the sadness /depression

lots of people on here suffer from anxiety it is awful how widespread it is , have you considered hypnotherapy?

You're lucky if you can go under easily and if you manage to get a really good hypnotherapist

I’d be open to trying that for sure

Beautiful picture Flutterlfea :)

Sometimes when we have everything, it brings out sadness and worry

because deep inside we aren't happy with ourselves. OR...we wonder how

long this can last instead of enjoying the moment.

I Welcome you here to this site. You already realize that you are not alone with

your anxiety. Different issues cause different people stress even though the

world may think you have it all. But unless you feel that and embrace what you

have, that emptiness remains. I'm glad you are reaching out to us. Talking it out,

can help so much. I'm glad you are here. :) xx

You are not alone. Never alone. We are a very large group of people out there in a battle with our own brain. But, we are special in a way. Because we can show the world that even when we have to battle every day, we can win this fight and still do great things in life. We can still be productive and successfully happy. We can’t let ourselves down Flutterflea.

It's funny, I feel like I do the opposite of suffer in silence, heh. I reach out for reassurance from everyone I know, as well as on here. I was just crying to my husband this morning about it. I guess maybe it's just a personality thing. My dad said he was the more "suffer in silence" type.

Regardless, I guess we're in the same boat (pun kind of intended), and there's no easy way off it. I hope we can both find some peace.

I’m hoping to just let my mind rest. To not movie play or create worries that aren’t there. It’s very draining sometimes
