anxious and nervous ....

[NiBa5]

I have uncontrollable anxiety and nervousness recently. My condition is a bit different from depression since my struggle started from antidepressant withdrawal years ago. My brain itself has recovered a lot. But I'm so emotionally unstable lately. I don't want to take benzo that will mess up my brain more and it's just a short time relief. It doesn't treat anxiety.. I'm alone so fear kills me....help !!!

Try to slow your thoughts down. Maybe some mindfulness...paced breathing. This doesn't sound like something that's new to you...you know you Can get through it!

Thank you for reaching out. Yes I just took a bath to try to relax. It's very hardto calm down lately. But my brain function itself is coming back finally.

How are you doing? Hope you're doing ok. Hugs

Yes deep breathing is very good, I also use the mantra,This too will pass, which seems to help, take care

Thank you for reaching out. Truly appreciated it. I feel a bit less anxious now but a feeling of desperation kills me now....my brain isn't stable.

The worst thing about panic attacks is they feel like they will not end but they always do. I keep reminding myself that it is only temporary. Best wishes!
