hi all I’m new and always overwhelmed! I’m in therapy and on meds. Right now nothing is helping. I’ve done breathing exercises journals and prayer. I always think the worst is going to happen because it always has. I’m so tired.

Hi I think we’re in the same boat. Meds and breathing exercises don’t work and you worry it’s never gonna end. I hope we can help each other on here. I’m new here and just reading as much as I can on anxiety. I hope you soon find a better place.

Hi Darkangst, I wanted to let you know that I have overcome my Anxiety as well

as 5 years of Agoraphobia where I never left my home. Therapy and working on myself

helped me to believe that I would get better. I stopped using negative words. Positivity

became my middle name. I knew I would one day get control back of my life and I did.

The "key" for me was Meditation and Breathing. The mind is powerful and these

tools helped me to retrain my mind/my brain. Believing that I could and I would do

this made me make a promise to myself that I would pass my success forward.

Lo and behold, I found HU and knew this was the community I wanted to be a part

of. I have been here almost 9 years bringing hope and understanding to those who

struggle as I did. I'm happy you are here with us Darkangst. You've just taken the

first step in finding a community of people who care. xx

Thank you for your comment. I did wonder if you had suffered from agorophobia by your name. I was a sufferer too, and have been lucky to improve with a lot of help. Your advice will be so helpful to me - breathing and meditation, but the one thing I lack is positivity. Will work on it! Thanks for passing on helpful tips to fellow sufferers! xxx

Thank you the positive thinking is the hardest part for me. My mind immediately goes to the worst things that can happen. I will stay here and hopeful this forum and my therapist can help me do better.

Hi Huckfinn, I am always researching videos that may help others get to where

they need to be. YouTube has always been my "go to". I do not recommend a video

unless I've listened to it fully and felt it could help.

I highly recommend Dr. Joe Dispenza's "How to literally clean your mind"

An excellent informative video. May this help you understand more as to what

we need to do in order to change our way of thought. My best to you xx

Huckfinn I want to welcome you and hope you love it here. I read your bio and my heart goes out to you. I also feel like something horrible is always just about to happen… I think part of it has to do with my brother’s suicide. I just couldn’t believe such a horrible thing had happened. I am so sorry for your losses in life and I wish you healing, peace, love.

Hang in there Huckfinn18. Honestly sometimes nothing works. And the more we worry or stress to stop the anxiety or worry, the more of it that lingers or moves in. Check out the late Dr Weeks book Hope and Help for your nerves. Spoke to me a lot on acceptance and having to sit with the anxiety for it to leave. Just doing what you have to do while the thoughts and feelings are there. Definitely not an easy task. Lifting you in prayer and sending a hug. 🙏🏻

I am also in therapy and am on meds. I do meditation, journals, prayer, and I am in a program to try to improve my life since I can't work right now because of my mental health. I have not been able to work in years because I have 3 different mental health problems that make life very hard for me. I don't get out much because of bad anxiety problems.
