Anxious mess

[Heathavee]

Hi . I’ve been in a bad anxious depressed spiral for 2 months and can’t get out , I’m a mess . They put me on medication for the first time and it’s not helping , I feel like this is never gonna end I need someone who’s going thru something similar 😔

Have you tried cbd oil ? I find it takes the edge off

[Heathavee in reply to Ryan990]

I tried it a few times made me worse

When we have anxiety , the brain can not tell the difference if it’s real or not what’s happening to us. So when it does imagine 10-15 mins what will you be doing from now. Whether that’s eating dinner,cooking,watching Tv,on social media(Pinterest,Instagram,etc..) or cleaning, brushing your teeth, drinking tea/coffee,etc..And the anxiety loses its power and you calm down..I heard that from a podcast. Hope that technique helps!

Your not alone. Everything that your feeling, I’m feeling too. It’s so hard some days but we have to keep pushing through. We are STRONG , we are RESILIENT! We will Get through this ❤️

I was in a similar position to you at the beginning of the year and found for me it was just a matter of allowing time for the meds to work , 2 months or so. Try and remember you will get better and try meditating / relaxing music. You will get through this.

Im going through something similar but for me medication hasnt really helped i have stabled it with ddlg if you dont know what that is look it up but you can just go into that. But with me im going through a rough time at home with my mom and my dad who isnt around and other things but day by day im trying to get better.

We all go thru this anxiety and depression thing. Somedays its worse then others. Try to, remember good days I know it's hard. It's a real struggle

This too shall pass. Like I experienced this feeling before and it went away so this one will too?

I've been so anxious for the last 2 weeks, i feel like i have a cloud of dark thoughts in my mind but i can't find anything specific to think about. I feel so blue and dark. It's painful
