hello

[ThickSkull]

I have been dealing with anxiety/ depression/ panic disorder for as long as I can remember. I had a mental break in 2020, and since then it’s been something that’s very difficult for me to even try to control. A few months ago, I was threatened by a drunk coworker, and it caused me to have a mini stroke, and to be hospitalized. This seemed to trigger my issues even worse. A few days ago, I was aggressed by my boss, in front of my children, leaving me with no choice but to leave my job. This triggered me to have an episode that has lasted me three days now, with even the simplest of things triggering me into an amass of panic attacks, crying fits, bits of rage, and just wanting to completely be alone. I am in search of help from people who have experienced these issues. Joining a support group is something I’ve never done, and it in itself gives me a load of anxiety.

your time and help is appreciated.

thank you.

That's a lot to go through. I hope you find the support you need.

I feel your pain. I never experienced anxiety before and the first time I experienced it was back in January 2020. I took medication for it and it took me about 6-12 months to recover from it. I got off from the medication and was fine since then until now, I found myself anxious again. I am hearing/feeling heart beats so not sure why. A month ago I had a severe migraine all over my head and that cause my anxiety to come back so I have been anxious about a month. I tried a massager and that seems to help somehow. I wonder if that could help you too.
