Feel like I’m drowning

[21pilot73]

I’ve had anxiety since I was 21 but the last three years it has been 24/7. I try to do all the coping skills and I have medication but it doesn’t seem to work I had two weeks a couple weeks ago that I felt great and all of a sudden I just fell in a hole again. I have a 20-year-old daughter that lives with me that has severe bipolar and it’s very hard I think the one thing is that I really just want to be happy and I am not happy

Hi 21pilot73. Welcome to the community. I wish I had some helpful advice, but frankly, I am in a very similar situation and haven't yet figured out how to get away from the anxiety and find comfort or happiness. I guess we just have to keep believing that things will change and get better. For what it's worth, you are not alone and will find many kind people in this community who are dealing with similar struggles and feelings. I hope you can find some relief and the happiness you deserve.

Have you told your prescribing doctor how you feel? Try giving them a call today or tomorrow, maybe you can find a better medication! They’re really not all equal and different drugs work for different people. I’m on Atenolol and it’s worked wonders, just gotta keep an eye on all your heart metrics. Ask your doc! Hope you feel better soon 🙏🏼
