I would firstly like to send love and hope to everyone on this page whatever your feeling because you are important, you are worth it and you are special, so hug yourself from me ❤️
I am soooo tired but as usual soon as I turn out the light and close my eyes everything starts racing around and I’ll probably procrastinate till 3am then be knackered for working at home online again tomorrow and go through all the emotions I go through day in day out, and although I have my family I feel so alone and so anxious, I have suffered with anxiety and depression for years and I actually think I have some form of bipolar. I just want to feel normal everyone thinks I’m funny because I make a joke out of it but it’s actually a very lonely place to be. I’ve tried all sorts but I feel like I’m on a hamster wheel 🤦♀️💁🏼♀️

I'd like to Welcome you new friend to an amazing safe site. I think after a while we all
get into a pattern set in stone regarding our daily routine. And with that we wonder why
depression and anxiety set in.
We want to be normal, but what is normal? To the neighbors around you, they probably
envy you and how normal you and your family look.
As for dealing with Anxiety, it can happen to any of us. Anxiety doesn't bend the rules if you are rich or poor, famous or just the average joe. It's all about how you perceive the world. Is
it threatening to you? Do you feel unfulfilled? Do you want to make changes but feel you can't? All these are stopping you and keeping you in a cycle of fear each day.
Little do most of us realize, that we have the power and choices to make our lives what we want. Changes, there's got to be changes. I realize that anxiety is afraid of change but we go
no where unless we take that step forward out of our comfort zone.
I can't tell you if you are bipolar or not but I can support you while you go down this path
looking for some answers and clarity. I'm glad you are here with us. I wish you Love and Hope as well. Today you took a step forward by joining this forum xx
I was just looking over your profile and noticed that you too suffer from GAD as I did.
From the very beginning, I knew, no matter how long it took, that I would never give up.
Reading and researching in how anxiety worked, gave me a path to follow. Then I just had to find the key to achieve my goal.
I too believe that there is a time and place for medication. I am now off all benzos because I found other methods that work for me just as well. I know that you will find
what works for you as well. Meditation, Affirmations, Self Hypnosis, Breathing, Biofeedback, Mindfulness and Relaxation techniques including Reiki are all at my disposal each and everyday. I wish you well in going forward. I'm happy you are a part of this great virtual family on HU. You're not alone my friend. We're here for you
Finding this forum and coming to the realization that (after many, many years of suffering with GAD) I am not alone, has been a revelation of sorts. Who knew that there are so many of us that walk arm and arm together, holding each other up and reassuring each other that it can get better.
Medication can be a wonderful aid in times of despair.
Like you I meditate, practice breathing control and utilize mindfulness. I do yoga every. single. evening. This has changed my life for the better and was a key factor in letting go of the clonazepam. Yoga was sent from someplace spiritual, I am convinced of this.
Welcome, Waltershitty! As Sillysauge said, I love your name.
We all want to feel normal. Coming here each day has given me a sense of normality. I feel very connected and understood, for the first time in far too long. Hopefully you will feel the same, very , very soon.
Beautiful you opened up and joined.. welcome! I am fairly new to this site also. It sounds to me like you are really suffering.. have you talked to a doctor? A specialist? Before you completely spiral down therapy and meds can go a long way... I’m in it too. And every day is still a struggle but you can get better. Do not suffer in silence. Talk to someone who can help assess... in the meantime, we are here. And listening to you. You are not alone. How old are you? May I ask?
Just wanted to add my welcome as well. Thanks for adding your support and encouragement. I'm sure you will find the same here! I'm sorry that you are feeling so isolated in this journey. That is certainly not uncommon but it doesn't have to remain this way. When you say you've "tried all sorts", what does that mean? Have you had times of better management or success with your mental health? Do you feel like you can be honest about the loneliness you feel instead of joking about it with the other people around you?
I'm trying to find the meaning to this thing called life and I'm going through the same thing you're going through. It comes in waves. I know that my happiness should come from being grateful, praying, worship and having faith that there is something better. There is! I'm finding this out day by day. I'll cry. I'll laugh (not as much as I would like but it's an inkling). I pray for a breakthrough for you and me. This site has comfort but at the same time awareness that you are not alone.
