This is it now

I’m 21 and as you guys know who have read my posts I suffer with health anxiety ocd generalised anxiety disorder and depression and to be honest I just don’t see how I’m going to get better it’s almost like I don’t have the motivation to do it like I would just rather not and I have no idea why that is? I feel like my anxiety is just one constant worry after another like my skin then food poising then head then eyes etc and it feels relentless and endless. I’ve tried just accepting it and trying to accept these feelings and physical symptoms but they feel too hard to accept I just don’t even have any motivation to get through this by creating a routine and this leads me to believe that I’m going to just have to manage this god the rest of my life I’ll never truly overcome it and reach my goals I’ll just settle for comfort at best any advice on this from this wonderful community would help a lot

Hi, I don't think we can excise our demons but rather rise above them. Living with these issues has been hard as heck and I do suffer from burn out all the time. Wanting to just stop crawl under a rock and go to sleep for ever. It's just not that simple. These mental health issues has us taking in all this information from the world and processing worries, stress, anxiety to the point of believing there is no point. There may be only the relief we get from medications from time to time. Though I have found that even better relief is from the social connections I get talking/writing to others like you that helps me get through the day. Sometimes gets me to get up off my butt to do stuff. The journey of life is a long long road before we sleep, reference to a poem I read once, but I think it's the company that we keep along the way that helps us rise above. It's better when you're not alone. Don't you agree? You got support here feel free to write back to anyone you feel like minded with. You can count me in, if you like?

Thank you for that amazing reply it really filled me with calm to know that you’re so strong in battling this. That maybe I can be as strong as you one day as well! I have made a lot of big strides when it comes to anxiety issues however don’t have a routine at all. And my family believe that if I gain one it will relieve a lot of my symptoms

[Hidden in reply to Meyer_Gdmnx]

A routine certainly helps. I'm not as strong as anyone else, but thanks for the compliment. Every little positive interaction helps build us up. That's why this place is so great repeating over and over how miserable you may feel never gets old to the rest of us. We all feel the same and treat others to any help we can give and get.

The whole united we stand stuff is true, wow I've been watching a lot of marvel. LOL.

I relate to this so much. I have health anxiety too, especially with emetophobia. I feel nervous and anxious so much it makes my stomach hurt all the time which causes more anxiety.

I too have gotten tired of trying and worry that my whole life will be maintaining, just waiting for a day here and there where i feel just okay or normal. It’s not enough to merely survive. I feel like I can’t pursue the things I really want. I can’t enjoy the things I want. I try to find any way to just be comfortable but it makes me miss out on so much.

I feel your pain. I wish I had better advice. I do find comfort in knowing that I have gone through this before about 15 years ago and got over it. So even though it returned, I’m hopeful that I will overcome it again. Try to find something good worth living for and getting up in the morning for and maybe it will be make these hard days pass by just a little bit easier.

Thank you for your reply you’ve shown so much strength in overcoming this once I’m sure you will again. I just have tensions in my back and sickness all of the time there is no trigger seemingly. My family believe my lack of routine is one other route causes and if I developed one I’d feel much better

[Grateful71]

I know your pain and anxiety, friend. I have had serious health problems in the past, I've never recovered 100% but I am learning to take one day at a time. I know it's hard to enjoy the better days if you worry the next day is going to be bad but don't put too much pressure on yourself. We have a health condition like many other conditions, try and take good care of yourself. Our bodies become unwell but the do everything the can to repair again. I wish you peace 💓🙏

[Meyer_Gdmnx in reply to Grateful71]

Thank you for your reply I appreciate it so much and I’m so sorry you have to deal with this too. I width your peace and strength as well My family believe the resin I feel so bad is because I lack routine and structure

[Grateful71 in reply to Meyer_Gdmnx]

I understand why they might say that but I think its a bit more complicated than that. Structure and routine can help if you a person who likes to work that way but I don't think it's the answer to everything. Do what you can do in a day and congratulate yourself for getting through another day, sunshine will hopefully not be far away, take care X

Dear Meyer_Gdmnx, hi again : )

Just want to say my heart goes out to you at this time, . I hope and pray that God will give you healing hope and comfort.❤️❤️

I will try and share some things that had been helpful to me when I started to feel anxious or worried. It sounds like you are a believer in God, judging by your other recent posts. Have you tried going over some of the Bible verses / bible stories that reaffirm Gods mercy and love? Especially Ones like Philippians 4:6 “Do not be anxious about anything...”

“I believe. Help Thou my unbelief “ Mark 9:24

“Cast all your cares on Him for He cares for you” 1Peter 5:7 There are many others like this.

Go over and over these and other precious promises and try to apply to your self personally. I hope this helps in some way. It has helped me a great deal in the past

God loves you. Trust Him xo

Don’t forget to reach out for professional help also. Good medical professionals are God’s agents.

❤️🙏Jo
