Anxiety

[Demichoc53]

Good Afternoon I am Demi I suffer with Anxiety I am trying to reach out with others that have the same issue.

[Agora1]

Welcome Demichoc53... you have found a caring, supportive and safe site.

You are no longer alone xx

[Demichoc53]

Thank you. So much for reaching Out I really pray that I can connect with some people that we can all be healed

Hello Demichoc, I have anxiety. This is a great site and I have found it really helpful to me on my journey.

[Demichoc53 in reply to Alliblob]

How has it helped you .. I am new I just joined today

[Alliblob in reply to Demichoc53]

I have asked for help a couple of times but I find reading the posts of others helps me to realise that I am not on my own. When I became really ill I hid it from family and friends until my body gave in with horrific shaking. When I opened up I found friends who don’t understand either ignored me or just presumed I was ok and never asked. On this site I can get ideas for living with my anxiety and I feel that people understand and are not afraid.

Yes people said that I was crazy ... it hurts but I pray every day asking god to please heal me ..this is very hard to deal with alone .. what state you live in

Hiya I'm exactly the same from the moment I wake up , first thing in the morning seems to be the worst . I wander round in a daze most of the time and I don't know if this happens to you but I am constantly on a state of high alert mixed with high anxiety . There is no rest from this and I always think of the worst case scenario, its like a vicious circle that is on a loop

[RosieSun in reply to Hidden]

I know what you mean, it’s hard for me to understand that other people aren’t always on alert like that. It feels like it’s always been that way for as long as I can remember.

[Hidden in reply to RosieSun]

Hiya thanks for replying and sorry for the late reply. Its always helps to hear that there is other people that understand what I go through 24/7 . I constantly live in the fight flight mode for some reason and like you say its been this way for as long as I remember .

[Demichoc53 in reply to Hidden]

I wish we could all have a face to face meeting So we really can talk to each other I need somebody that I can really have conversation that understand exactly what we are all going through the same thing.. this is a hard task

[PhilFrantan3 in reply to Demichoc53]

Hi Demi. If people are open to it, we could have Zoom meetings.

[Demichoc53 in reply to PhilFrantan3]

Yes I would love that

[Hidden in reply to Demichoc53]

Thanks for your message. It's made me realise I'm not the only one going through this , knowing that there is other people that understand is comforting . Sorry for the late reply

[Demichoc53 in reply to Hidden]

Are you taking medication

[Hidden in reply to Demichoc53]

Sorry just seen the message . I'm on heavy meds . Quetiapine. Fluoxetine and mirtazapine . And I'm still not right

[Demichoc53 in reply to Hidden]

Wow... I find myself praying and listening to worship music to help me ... I sometimes smoke marijuana for anxiety .. I did not particularly like to smoke but it help

[Whiskers16 in reply to Hidden]

Hi I’m exactly the same just want to see a little glimmer of hope as not sure how much longer I can carry on like this.

The medication doesn’t seem to be helping,

[Demichoc53 in reply to Whiskers16]

I take klonopin sometimes it work I just want to be normal .. I cry out to God for healing I think when my life is not happy I have a lot more anxiety

[Hidden in reply to Whiskers16]

I wish I could see a glimmer of hope too . I know exactly what you mean about struggling to carry on , its relentless. I keep trying to reason with myself but 5 minutes later I'm at it again. I'm always here to talk to

[Whiskers16 in reply to Hidden]

I think I have unrealistic expectations as usual in the evening I feel a little better so I take my medication which knocks me out for a few hours and hope that when I wake it will all be gone. But every morning the panic is there as soon as I wake up.

[Hidden in reply to Whiskers16]

Hi I am very similar in the fact that every morning the panic starts before I've opened my eyes, my thoughts are out of control, if I could just reign it in a bit , but I can't. I shall see what today brings
