Afraid of anxiety and thoughts

Is anyone else afraid of their thoughts and anxiety? I've like this for almost 41/2 years and can't get better.

Trees2357, How have you been? Haven't seen you post for a little while? Anything changed with your medication? Glad to see you reach out to the forum... x

I'm still suffering. Nothing has changed with the pills. Counsel house hasn't been too good. We lost 4 people this week. I'm home today and don't know what to do with myself. They told me I have to do things to feel better it what do I do. Husband doesn't want me driving.

Trees, I still think you are stuck between a rock and a hard place regarding your medication. Cutting down on dose and then stopping mid way is bound to make things worse for you. If counsel house isn't helping (you lost 4 people) what are other options out there for you. You might be better with one on one therapy if possible rather than 5 days of counseling that doesn't seem to work.

They are right in telling you that you have to do things to feel better. It could be simple things that give you a sense of accomplishment. Sitting around, watching tv just feeds into anxiety. Too much free time for your mind to conjure up fears.

You not being allowed to drive I'm sure cuts down on a lot of options of getting out. But it sounds like it is for your safety concern. x

Sometimes Trees2357, when nothing seems to work and we feel we can't move forward, then it may be time to bring out the "big guns" and think about in hospital. I was there by my own choice when I got as low as I thought I could be. In hospital has it's pros and cons. For me, it was life changing. Intense therapy, medical supervision over physical as well as mental health are provided. Intense therapy around the clock, always someone on call to talk with. It's a big decision but like resorting to the decision to take medication, sometimes we have to go one step further and go into the hospital.

It is not all that bad, actually it was comforting and a safe place.

What can I do to feel better

[Marisoljay]

I suggest you pray make a commitment with God that u know u can fulfill and watch things turn around for the good

I've been going to the Bible church meeting with my pastor. Nothing works. But I don't pray enough.

I'm too very scared and my guess is that I am scared that another attack is coming and I will trigger one myself. Nothing can make me feel better.

What thoughts are you having that are scaring you? Are they actually scary or is it a general feeling of being scared of your own mind and the feeling of fear ?

I have suffered from anxiety for 17 years; and what I gave learned about anxiety is that it is nothing to fear. Anxiety will not kill; and with every bad thought you have; you must counter that thought with a positive one. Anxiety cones from our inner fears; and when these attacks occur; you must let them happen and tell yourself "it's only anxiety; and it will be gone soon. You have to take its power away from it and conquer your fears. Once you begin doing this; they will become rare and or stop coming. Make sure you exercise 30 minutes a day and find a stress reliever such as meditation to lower your stress levels. I know these thoughts can be scary; but you are stronger than anxiety; and don't allow it to consume your life; challenge it and you will start to feel better. Talking with counselors and group sessions are also important, and if it gets too bad speak with your doctor so he or she can run test. You are not alone my friend; and you will be ok.

Hi, I've really suffered with anxiety recently. I often think that I feel like I've offended people with silly comments or that I've told someone a real truth, or I look back on things I've done as a massive mistake....actually I've done none of those things it's just my mind playing tricks from something so trivial that can send my thoughts off on one.

Please just take a little time to re-set yourself and check out actually what is going on.

You are fine!!

🙂
