what’s to fear, maybe nothing , maybe everything

3 Replies

I wonder if anyone ever feels this, I get this irrational feeling of fear that comes up again and again , I feel a like something’s gonna happen, my heart starts sinking , my pulse races and then I don’t know what to do. The fear grips me , and I feel helpless in front of it. I don’t know if it’s anxiety or maybe some unresolved fears in my subconscious mind , but one thing I know it keep on showing up again and again in my life in different forms ,fear is my monster and somehow I think I haven’t even started conquering it yet , just burying it deeper and deeper with my meds

Feelings of fear is very common symptom of anxiety. The subject of those fears will differ from one person to the next but the way to overcome them all is by drawing their sting and accepting the fearful thoughts and feelings and learning to let them all go.

They are all just a by product of having anxiety which creates anxious thoughts about anything and everything. They won't be there when you recover so don't give them the attention and respect they need to survive.

For more information, read anything by Dr Claire Weekes and practice acceptance.

So long as your only issue is trying to deal with the symptoms of anxiety, acceptance works.

Hope this helps ❤️

Are you seeking therapy for this anxiety and fear? Have you talked to your doctor about this? I went on antidepressants immediately when I notice that there was a situation that had come up. My anxiety is caused by situations and stressors that come. I just take a low dose at first and try to make an appointment with my therapist. I also use the Calm app and have learned breathing exercises and do this morning, during the day and at night before I go to bed. There's also the 4 7 8 breathing technique that you can look up that was created by Dr. Weil. I had calmed myself down by using the breath technique for a couple years now and it has helped and been my aid if I feel any anxiety coming on.
