Anxiety😭😭

[Lovedogs0877]

My anxiety and panic attacks are horrific and debilitating if I have to leave my apt for anything. Grocery shopping, drs appts etc. I'm up now so i can walk at 345 am cause i can only go walk if it's super dark outside. I'm still scared ppl can see me. I have double sagging skin around my mouth that's severe. You cant see it in my pic cause I'm looking into sun and smiling. I would never post pic showing this severe sagging skin. Anyhoo it is the main reason i stay locked up in my apt everyday. Ppl stare me down and they walk away from me like they are frightened of me. It causes so much more extreme panic. I spend all of the year locked up in apt. Life is miserable. I dont know anyone here in Las Vegas. I want so desperately to go adopt a pitbull but scared I'll be to afraid of walking the dog during the light hours. Here in vegas you have to get dog out early before it gets to hot out. Sorry for rambling. I just want to stop living in torment and sheer panic. Its beyond exhausting as many of you know. Hugs to all who suffer anxiety💞💞💞

Hi

I am so sorry about what is going on with you. I realy do sympathize with you. We are here for support if you are lonely since u are sitting in the apartment alone. Can I ask, is it possible to get surgery?

Thank you kindly!!! Surgery on my face I so wish!! I haven't worked in 3 years and being supported by mom right now. I had two shoulder replacement surgeries so I haven't worked since as one dr made it worse. I'm definitely alone and always have been.

Understandable. You can use us as well to avoid loneliness.

Dermatologists can do wonders and I’m confident that they could eliminate or drastically reduce the sagging skin problem that is keeping you prisoner. Clearly, cost is an issue if you don’t have medical insurance. Though some dermatologists that I know have sliding scales. There are likely issues that go deeper than the skin but getting that taken care of would be an amazing first step toward turning your life around.

I've had two shoulder replacement surgeries the last two years and haven't worked in two or three years. Plus I'm on disability getting 925 a month. Once back to working part time I do in home caregiving so the pay is crap!!! Doesn't even cover rent and Bills. So I dont have the money to even think of getting anything but oh how I wish!!! So it's been ruining my life for years now. Its not a new thing the skin sagging has been bad for at least ten years. So I refuse to go outside during the light hours to avoid mean ppls looks that cause my anxiety to go into sheer panic attacks. Well it's now its 330 am and I'm leaving to go do morning walk before it gets light out. Thatll make me feel better for awhile at least. Ty.

I hear you. Just remember that what’s inside you is so much more important than what’s outside........there’s a lot of “pretty” people out there who are miserable....I know a few
