Hello there.

[muslimLAD in reply to Hidden]

hi jim i was going to say i hope your well but we are all on this forum for a reason i hope you have your demons under control

[Hidden in reply to muslimLAD]

Mine are under control, what about yours?

[muslimLAD in reply to Hidden]

my demons seem to be controlling me. even with medication i have asked to be reffered for counselling but there is a wait. i shall just hang on in there till i get seen. even if im surrounded by darkness at the moment

[Hidden in reply to muslimLAD]

Anxiety?

[muslimLAD in reply to Hidden]

mornings start off with anxiety and turns to grief and depression as the day progresses

[Hidden in reply to muslimLAD]

Go make yourself busy, don't sit around doing nothing you need to take your mind off it all. Anxiety won't do you any harm but you need to distract yourself in order to make you more relaxed. Get busy!

[muslimLAD in reply to Hidden]

its just finding that first step i tend to just hide away in bed all day hoping that when i wake up by a miracle everything will change.

[Hidden in reply to muslimLAD]

Get out of bed you only make it worse, the trick is to keep yourself occupied, I know because I have been there. Don't be idle.

[muslimLAD in reply to Hidden]

this illness has crippled me but i will try and fight back but theres no quick fix and i cant define a time so that makes it harder not knowing when and how it can be fixed if that makes sense.

[Hidden in reply to muslimLAD]

You can't define a time for it to end but you can choose a time to fight, no time like the present.

[muslimLAD in reply to Hidden]

I always think il start tomorow

[Hidden in reply to muslimLAD]

Start now.

Hi muslimLAD, I am suffering very badly with anxiety at the moment plus a few other things and feeling very lonely and helpless and know talking can help me. I seem to have lost touch with the few friends I had don't have any family nearby. Please feel free to private message me or talk openly on the forum.

Hi muslimLAD, I too will be your friend. I think as we reach out to others, we see that we are not really alone. Welcome to this forum!

[muslimLAD]

[mdooms in reply to muslimLAD]

Hi muslimLAD, I to will be your friend. We all are here on this forum to try to help each other deal with our anxieties.

[Mzemma01]

MuslimLAD, I'm here as well . We all need a friend and someone to talk to . It's better to talk to someone that can understand.

[muslimLAD in reply to Mzemma01]

thank you for reaching out how are you today.

im just in a mess not sure which direction lifes going in

[mdooms]

It is better to talk and be on this great forum site than looking up symptoms on Web MD!! Remember this one.

[muslimLAD in reply to mdooms]

if i looked up symptoms i would diagmose myself with everything so i try and stay away from that.

thank you for reaching out

[Grn_Eyes]

Hi muslimLAD, I have only just seen your post. I too will be you friend. I also suffer with severe anxiety and depression. It is much easier to talk to someone who is or has been in a similar situation to you.

Take care

Nicola

[muslimLAD in reply to Grn_Eyes]

Nicola

first and foremost thank you for reaching out also i was in a desperate place a few months ago and i was dead against medication. but i was left no choice i started medication for depression and then found i could not cope with the anxiety so iv started medication for anxiety and i swear it helps well it has me. instead of hanging off a cliff i feel like im standing on the edge theres alot of work to do but one day i have some hope as before i had none.

i hope your anxiety and depression is under control feel free to talk to me at any time

: ) days are long and hard but together we can try and get to the end
