Anxiety 😭

[Tinatwotwins]

Hello my name is Tina. I have suffered in silence since I was a child with Anxiety. I am ready to come out and get help. I am very lonely in my fears. Afraid to be judged. I have children but don't want to burden them with my issues. I feel alone with my anxiety and what makes me feel anxious on a daily.

[Dolphin14]

I've had anxiety since I was young also

Are you in therapy?

What are some of the things you do now to help you get through an anxiety attack?

I have a counselor. Today was my first time ever speaking with anyone about my anxiety. I honestly don't have anything specific I do. It's has been getting overwhelming lately so I requested through my insurance to speak to someone finally. I hope things get better with the help. What are things that make you anxious

[Dolphin14 in reply to Tinatwotwins]

You are on the right path and that is fabulous.

I've been in therapy for a long time so I do have a better handle on things now. I've learned how to breathe and rationalize things.

Right now I have anxiety around driving. I also get anxious when I feel attacked.

What's about you

[Tinatwotwins in reply to Dolphin14]

I have fears. Health fears and fear of death. Always something bad . I hate it.

[Dolphin14 in reply to Tinatwotwins]

You will learn how to work through this in therapy.

Be patient and work hard, don't ever give up. There is a place of peace and you will get there

Can I ask if you have twins. The name is so cute

[Tinatwotwins in reply to Dolphin14]

Yes. 23 year old twins boy and girl

[Dolphin14 in reply to Tinatwotwins]

Hello, I have fears as well. This year I wrote a list of all my fears so that I can overcome all of them throughout the year hopfeully.

[Scruffy81 in reply to Tinatwotwins]

Something I heard from a wise person years ago, there’s no point in stressing on something you have no control over and not something you can change but know there are things we do have control over that outweighs any of our fears. ❤️

[Tinatwotwins in reply to Scruffy81]

I hope to learn this. I will fight hard to win and start living.

[Scruffy81 in reply to Dolphin14]

offerent but I get to a place I am completely alone and I have some favorite songs that I have on my phone so I listen to one of those while looking through my pictures on here that obviously were something I liked cuz I took it and just relax and get out of your head. Deep breath and know your okay. I’ve even just closed my eyes when I can’t get away from “the noise” and just thought about things I’ve done or someone else has done for me that made me feel good or I liked. That works for me. Try it may not work exactly how I do it but hey if it does glad I could lend assistance to anyone

[Tinatwotwins in reply to Scruffy81]

Thank you my friend! All the advice is appreciated 💘

[Tinatwotwins]

Thank for the positive support.

Hello and Welcome. You will definitely not be judged for your fears here. Most of us can relate to anxiety and some of us will be able to relate to your specific anxiety, but anxiety is anxiety. It really helps to talk to people who understand. I am glad that you are ready to come out and get help. You have come to the right place.

[Tinatwotwins in reply to gajh]

Thank you my friend!

[Scruffy81]

hey Tinatwotwins

I know it feels like you are alone and don’t have anyone to talk too. I have a major problem making friends because my social anxiety prevents me from “getting out there” and talking to people. To think about it makes my anxiety go up just thinking and not actually doing it. She’s helped a lot, usually I don’t feel comfortable talking to people about my problems and trying to talk about my emotions well that’s another problem because It scares the hell out of me to try and “fix” myself. I guess it was just her or I felt comfortable talking to her because she is also gay but idk things just started rolling out. I guess the whole point of my long “boom chapter” is that there’s always people that you can talk with, not forced to share your darkest thoughts, that do understand and know what your going through you just have to make yourself get over that first uncomfortable thing and make yourself so it. MY POINT IN ALL THIS, besides rambling on, is that your never alone and others, is on here, have the time and understand to know EXACTLY what your going through. I’ve been dealing with things my whole life so I know how hard it can be. So I’m here to be a sounding block or someone u can talk to or vent at I gotchu girl. 🥰

[Tinatwotwins in reply to Scruffy81]

Thank you my friend! I will definitely reach out to you.

[Tinatwotwins]

Thank you all. I really appreciate the positive feed back this is the beginning of my journey. I have for the first time in a long time feel a little hole has opened up to start and see the light. I been in the dark about this way to long. Much happiness and healthy healing to you all my friends

[Tinatwotwins]

Thank you my friend!

Therapy works wonders, however, it takes time. A therapist can give you tools to deal with anxiety. Make sure you use all the tools to find out what works for you. My mother suffered from anxiety and passed it on to me. She didn't even know that she suffered from anxiety, so she couldn't pass on coping strategies to me. I had to learn them on my own, through therapy.

[Teaching]

I'm glad you are ready to get help. Speaking out is the first step. You need to find something that works for you. If possible, get a therapist to help you.

[BedBug]

Welcome. You are not alone. I too have struggled with anxiety for years. Have taken medication and had several therapists. Haven't had much success until recently. I found a therapist who really cares and is really helping me. We have therapy once a week on the phone. He digs deep when asking questions but doesn't judge. The other thing is there are work books that he sends to me . Yes,homework. It really helps. If you want I would be happy to give you his name and number. Please don't give up. One step at a time. Please let me know. I would like to help if I can. Take care.

This is typical this is reality

[Vasiliki99]

Seen you thanks 😊😊👍

[Zhangliqun]

The key is to find out what's causing it. A lot of people just try to treat the symptoms thinking that will be enough. But in doing so, the actual cause remains a lurking phantom that springs out on you just when you start to relax. You can't shoot back when you don't know where the shooting is coming from.

I sought help from anxiety and depression in 2018 and have been getting it ever since. You're lucky you got it so quickly. Took me time and I nearly ended my life September of that year with the uncertainty of when I would get permanent care. I wrote this song in response to my survival and hope you find it helpful too.
