anxiety, dark place

[evita2015]

ive been suffering for a while now, feel like im being strangled by anxiety and depression. always have a feeling of feeling uncomfortable, or that something bad is going to happen, or just general doom. its horrible, im sure im never going to be happy.too much to write about, feel so edgy and just uncomfortable

I feel edgy and uncomfortable too its got too the point where I feel more often bad then good. Today I must say was a good one. You will be ok

Try WWW.anxieties.com Dr Reid Wilson uses paradoxical intention to calm anxiety.if the anxiety quietens hopefully depression might lift.a decent nights sleep might help too. Hope u feel calm again soon.

Low self worth feeds anxiety, I know its hard but try and remember time people appreciated you even just thanking you in past you , deserve some love towards yourself,when I'm in an anxiety spiral I feel like a loser and ashamed of being like I am. I'm very anxious now sitting here typing this and trying to feel like I'm worth it, the negative self chatter telling me I'm useless, never be OK etc. Its anxiety brain chatter its persistent and fault y and you must not be impressed by it, try and think some kind thoughts and letter the chatter go and try and calm yourself with house work, reading or going out. It won't go for a while but accept that your in control of anxiety not it controlling you,

Do you have family or friends nearby.My daughter is my rock.I can't manage without her.She keeps me sane.I've lost contact with friends over the years.We don't have anything to do with husbands family ,they were always putting him down.x

i used to have a serious alcohol problem ( ive been sober for four years ) my mum has never forgiven me for th way i behaved and what i put my family through, which i respect, feel guilty for and understand. she lives down the road, and i havent seen her since christmas day. i broke my ankle recently, and shes never even popped round to see if im ok, i understand why but its still hard.xx

I am 69 and have learnt nothing, never really goes away . Have been like it since age 24 . If I am doing something really intensive it helps but feels worse when I stop.

[evita2015]

hiya marie, yes i do breathing exercises, just sometimes my anxiety just disables me to the point where i just have horrible thoughts. i need help, theres a 4 week waiting list to see a gp at my practice!!! unbelievable . thanks for replying , means a lot xx i will definitely look at that link you posted, thank you x

I know how you feel. I see everyone around me having fun and feeling good. I can just barely work and otherwise no energy. People say think positive but really think I don't know how. I've heard for years things will get better but only seems they get worse! I hope you find your happiness and joy! Anxiety is tricky makes you feel horrible but others can't see it 😥 hang in there though because you are worth it!!'
