Anxiety duration

[Simes3]

I wonder how long the high state of anxiety level can last. Does anyone else feel like their anxiety just stays and stays? That's where I am and I don't know how to make it go down. I'm having a very hard time finding an open therapist and I'm on a wait list.

Hi Simes3 and Welcome..

Your high level anxiety can last until you learn to say "no" to those who repeatedly

need you. Right now, it's got to be about you first. Loving yourself, respecting your

needs must be a priority before you can continue helping others.

The Anxiety will stay and stay until you don't feel trapped anymore. While waiting

for a Therapist appointment, I would suggest finding other methods in calming your

nerves. I personally use daily Meditation and Breathing. First thing in the morning,

midafternoon and before bed. This can be very useful in calming your over sensitized

nervous system. Once you get to talk with a therapist, they can address the situation

at hand and tell you how to proceed forward. I'm happy you have found our virtual

community of friends. As you listen to other's journey with Anxiety/Depression,.

you will find some answers to your own issues. It's time for you to make some

"me time" for yourself. My Best to you xx
