Can't not think about my anxiety

1 Reply

Hey guys. Ok so I've always really suffered from anxiety but it's gotten ALOT worse over the past couple weeks. It's like right when I wake up it's on my mind and I can't not think about it. Also I used to get panic attacks a lot but now during periods it's just like 2 hours of chest tightness. Like when I try to watch a tv show I'm constantly thinking "I'm going to die" "nothing is real" and like it's so tough. I've been put on 20 mg of vibryd and I'm trying to exercise a lot more. It's just getting harder and harder to get out of bed each day. I know people say it takes like 4-6 weeks for the meds to work but I just am scafed they won't. I can't live every day like this. Even when I'm trying to have a normal conversation with someone I just feel so distant and my thoughts just are constantly about worries or whatever. And I feel weak a lot. I've been to dozens of doctors and gotten everhing X-rayed and examined. Does anyone know what to do about this? Thanks !

I'm really sorry that you are going through this. The best advice I can give you probably sucks and is of no use to you, but if there's a chance it will work I'm gonna tell you!! When you thinking "nothing is real" try grounding techniques! There are a bunch on the internet that you could look up. There is this one helps me sometimes maybe it will help you!! It is when you tighter your muscles in one area of your body starting at your toes for like 15 seconds. Then you progress, like first toes, then legs, ect. Or you can ask yourself silly questions like "How old am I?" "What day is it?" stuff like that!! Keep your head high and don't let your anxiety beat you down!! xoxo
