Anxiety All Around

[Kami224]

It feels like I get anxious about literally everything now as an adult... I also have struggled with getting and staying asleep. I've seen doctors who basically like to shrug off anything that pertains to anxiety. My periods have progressively gotten much worse that the thought of them coming every month is a stressor. I get headaches, unbearable abdominal pain, lethargic, nausea, anxiety and depression all at once. Idk what to do or how to feel. Seeing a therapist is alright at times but when I have all the issues there never falling on that day.. so I feel like my issues aren't being addressed or that they aren't really talked about on the same level. What I'm anxious about sometimes isn't what she says she thinks it is. Sometimes you have so much to say that a session can't cover it all...idk where I'm going with this...maybe it's venting...but it's lonely and hard...I don't really have friends and it's probably from this negative thinking and depressive nature...but it's so hard to get up when it's like back to back slaps in the face from reality like I'm not doing enough...I get sick all the time and I'm told it's practically all in my head...then told to take meds...but if it's "fake" pain, shouldn't I take "fake" meds too? I just don't get any of it...I feel alone...I feel vulnerable...and I feel forgotten and lost.... idk what I want to do because everything makes me anxious...and then I also feel like I will just fail again or it's all the same everyday on repeat and it gets old...all the cleaning because the dad barely helps in the home...the expectation of going to work and coming home to not get enough sleep and be sleep deprived and still expected to function, clean, take kids to school, and everything...it's overwhelmingly stressful and I'm so solemn...I don't know what I want... Has anyone else felt this low...?

Definitely can relate at times. I might recommend you get blood work done to see if there’s some kind of underlying cause that could explain things.

I really hope you can find some relief….I believe it’s out there for all of us….it’s just a matter of finding what works for each of us.

Hi Kami. Different situations but I have felt that low. Feeling it now. It sounds like you’re really dealing with a lot, and not getting much support. So you’re not seeing a psychiatrist right now? I think Kelkel has a good suggestion in getting some bloodwork done to get a full picture. Finding a caring and sympathetic provider can be hard for us. Hang in there with us
