New Here

[baseballlover55]

Hi, I'm new here. I'm not the best at expressing my feelings into words but I want to start but saying it's nice to find a place where I can talk to people and relate to others going through the same/similar things as I am. A few weeks ago after having a panic attack my Generalized Anxiety Disorder return and have been a mess since. I feel like I'm worrying about every little thing and feels like there is no end insight. Has anyone gone through a similar situation and how have they gotten out of it?

Hi baseballlover55 and Welcome.

Anxiety plays a mean game with our minds. But as long as we can

keep a positive frame of mind knowing this won't last forever, there's

a chance this will and can go away.

I know from my own experience with Anxiety and Agoraphobia that

once I accepted this as not life threatening, I had taken that first step.

Finding a more positive approach to my anxiety made me have more

control over my life.

I found tools that helped me reduce my stress levels. Meditation and Breathing

exercises each day has put me in control once again. I am now here to help

pass on my success. Believe in yourself and the power within you. xx

Thank you so much for the advice as well as the support and kind words. I'll definitely try the meditation and breathing exercises.

It really does work. I have been triggered lately by a chain of events however I’m waking up every morning with anxiety pains and I cannot pin point it….I know it will subside and checking in with yourself really helps. Take it day by day.

Aside from therapy and medication, hobbies are helpful. Having somewhere else to direct the anxiety towards, such as swimming, walking, playing games, watching TV has been helpful for me.

I am going through a similar set of feelings right now, and trying to get past the worst of it. I’ve had these problems all my life and I am well aware that there is no easy answer, but when you are feeling awful, you grasp at straws. I turned to this site in the hopes that I will get to chat with others going through the same process. Realize, baseballlover that these feelings WILL pass, I can promise you that they will not be here forever. Like me, your thoughts are probably beating you up everyday, I think that these feelings get on a repeating tape through our heads and poison our ability to feel better. I need the emotional support necessary to get me through this hard time, I’m hoping that I can find it here.

Thank you for the kind words. It's something I've gone through before and gotten through it, it's just really tough in the moment
