Hello Nelly-dray nice to meet you and thank you for posting on here. You are not alone with this anxiety. I've had it pretty bad the past 4 months

How long have you had it and what are your symptoms?

Talking about it helps so you have come to the right place

It's hard for other people to understand what we go through...breath, nothing bad will happen to you, trust me you are not alone!

Talk, cry if needed, talk more, anxiety is a silent killer and looses power when you let it out...it may bend you down but won't defeat you...

A hint: do not over analize yourself, let is pass and do not make any important decisions when you feel like that.

Wish you the best and remember, you are not alone on this....

Hi Nelly,be aware of suffering of anxiety is a big step toward an improvement or a better way to learn to cope with it.The experience of anxiety is something that stop us to take decisions, actions and even a small issue is view in a more exaggerated way.I think the way we deal with daily routine and relationships with others in some ways can be the trigger, but as you said your anxiety is not constant,it comes and go,but when it comes is difficult to let that feeling go away.The answer is in ourselves ,not in what is around us,the way we deal with issues has to be modified and adjusted in a more convenient way and level of anxiety will diminish.When you feel that something could be the trigger for you, try to distract yourself thinking at something positive, could be for example remembering nice memories,your friends, an event, your favourite actor or actress in a superb interpretation, a line in a book and so on.If you move your thought in something that let you feel rewarded instead of worried, then you will feel better, but is only your choice ,nobody else know what really you are going through.Take care

Hi and welcome,

I find I can cry at the drop of a hat there is no rhyme or reason to it and it can be very embarrassing. I just try and go with the flow IF i'M WITH people I know well or pretend i'VE GOT SOMETHING IN MY EYE and turn away if not. Some subjects at the moment I just don't touch.

I do find that exercise helps to stop the constent worrying and I try and do this a few times a week. I try and keep occupied as well and to keep my mind actively involved.
