I Feel Like I Am Not Free.

[guest1234_56789]

Last month I had a mental health consultation with a professional. I am constantly having an anxiety for the past three years and I am caged with it that i don't get to feel what real world is like. It feels like I am in my comfort zone and I can't get out. I don't know how. I have so many worries, questions and it happens from day to day basis that I forgot how happiness felt like. I mean some time, when I'm outside with my peers, I feel like I am human again but when I'm alone? That's when all the worries kick in. The negativities come at me all at once. My consultant consulted me to avoid things that could make me worry and I did it. But what? She didn't consult me anything.... it feels like she told me to just avoid my problem, which is I think is not the best solution to face my anxiety.

Sometimes I feel I would lose my shit anytime and I don't know what to do. My parents know about my condition but I just don't know how to handle it. It feels like I've lost my direction and I don't know where to go especially that I am filled with negativities. I know I am not the only one being like this but I still hope that one day, I'd be able to counter this.

I just want to be free from my own complex. That's all.

hi guest, my advise is to educate yourself about your anxiety and focus on some options to try to alleviate your anxiety. if you have Netflix check out Berne Brown, or look her up on the net. there is a lot to look at but think about how you learn and what interests you. I have found that therapy helps but it is up to you to care for yourself. I really like this forum it feel safe to open up.

Hello! Actually I started feeling this way right when pandemic kicks in and I've been searching up about anxiety since then. I started out exercising, eating healthily and everything that could make me more energetic. I don't use social media starting when I had my consultation because it seems like it is the root of all of my anxiety and I don't read or watch too often about because I think it would make me more imaginative than ever ( I think what makes me anxious this morning is because I read a romance stuff from some reading materials online) and I overthink. I will definitely look up at your recommendation. Thank you very much :>
