Wanting to escape

[YznRz]

Does anyone else feel like escaping home and be with other people who understand what it’s like having anxiety? I don’t work and I really want to but than I have anxiety attqcks by trigger is not being home... I have a cat who depends on me and I just wanna Runaway with him and feel like a less of a burden for my family.

I dont work any more, decided all the working people can take any job I might do.

Two cats, two dogs. So I'm very much needed at home, cant have them getting all lonely and suffering separation anxiety now can I?

I hope your family has never told you you are a burden. I come here daily now, everyone gets how I feel or have felt here.

Maybe find a way to be content with where you are now, you can always expand what you are doing later on, like find a part time job or find a hobby. The world is full of endless possibilities, even if your world is just your home like mine is for me.

They haven’t told me directly but they do force me to take care and pickup and drop off my sisters son bc she actually works since I’m not working or doing anything at home. They tell me to get a job and stop being a bum at home. My cat is sensitive and has a special diet and his food is very expensive. I have no way of making money. They mock my anxiety and say to suck it up. Even my nephew says I’m being lazy and to work. I just want to live alone and be able to provide for my cat and myself without having to worry. I’m honestly indebt...

Is there any type of work that is easy on your anxiety, part time maybe for now? I dont know the extent of your circumstances but I hope you are getting some type of therapy and or coping skills and ways to manage your anxiety.

Dreaming of being on your own island is something I've done often. So I get this. 😊

I truly hope life gets better for you, moreover your family will start to accept and practice patience and understanding.

I had a panic disorder but it downgraded to mild anxiety.y trigger is being outdoors.....

Sometimes they are supportive when they’re in pain but if they need me to do something for th that even they don’t wanna do they force me into it..

I just talk to my psychologist and I did have a coping method but it’s not as effect as it was before....

any tips ? 😊

My doctor did recommend I get a part job that doesn’t deal with people and stress free but I’m like that doesn’t exist lols 😆

The thing that bothers me is when my heart races , dizziness and headaches. It’s a lot better compared to last year. I do wake up panicking but I force myself to sleep again and get a good rest. But thank you for hearing me out.. it means a lot to me. Thank you 🙏

Down graded to mild anxiety means this can be managed if 1) you want it to 2) you are willing to put work into managing it. So I see this is not a complete social death sentence for you, just a set of challenges or maybe call them obstacles you need to work harder on than others do.

Ever heard of CBT? Ever done any reading on relaxation breathing? Your doctor prescribe any ‘rescue meds’ to use as needed? Anyhoo, I do a lot of reading and research, and I found this that you may find helpful. It covers basics regarding handling anxiety and panic attacks, maybe give it a read, expand your knowledge and maybe apply this to your particular issues. The end result is to become less and less a slave to your disorder, achieving the best quality of life possible, I think we can and I am living currently living life after clinical depression but I still have Anxiety, it’s manageable now.
