Anxiety

Does anyone know what I should do? My anxiety is worse. The fears, the crying, the depression, the pain in my back and ribs. I can't take it anymore.

I feel the same . Fear depression. Pain on left side of chest and ribs. I can't tell you what you should do because I don't know myself. Just know your not alone in that feeling

I'm always scared and crying

Yes, go out and challenge yourself and do something fun that you like. Yesterday I went to play basketball and for some reason I feel amazing today.

Trees2357. Just been flicking through your posts and you don't seem to be moving forward.

I’m sorry if this is a little blunt but if you want to get better you have to make your life bigger than your anxiety. You are not a victim, you are where you are because you are doing this to yourself. Please read my posts, absorb the content and move on with your life. You are so much bigger and stronger than your anxiety and by getting out there and doing normal things, you will gradually start to focus on other things and forget about your anxiety.

Once again, read my posts and also any by Jeff1943. Recovery is not beyond you or anyone else on this forum. It just requires a good understanding of why you think and feel the way you do and learning to accept every symptom that comes your way and not adding more fear which is what you are doing and the reason you are stuck in the cycle. If I can do it, you can too.

Best wishes

Hi trees i thought that was me who had posted your post ! I get the crying a lot and i get pain in the middle of my chest the crying part is the worst part ! I was put on quetiapine for that but i tend to miss a dose which doesnt help ! Have you seen your doctor about your symptoms that may help ! I wish you all the best and hope you get well soon !

You have left essentially the same post a number of times. I don't mean this as a criticism, but just a statement of the facts. Have you seen a doctor? You need to do this. If you have not yet seen a doctor, you should think about what is holding you back. Even though you are very sad and upset, there are steps that are vital for you to take.

Might not work but it does for me and a few other people I know.

Get a stress ball.

Take a really really deep breathe.

Turn on some really soothing music.

Breathe and squeeze.

Keep breathing and squeezing.

Close your eyes and just breathe.

I hope it helps! Blessing! Good luck.

Hi trees. I feel you. I have tried meds but they don't work for me so far. Everyone's physiology is different. I have a counselor but that doesn't seem to be going anywhere (I think maybe he's the wrong one for me). Maybe it would help if you tell us what you're doing so far to work on this and we can try to take it step by step? I know it's hard to collect your thoughts when you're just so out there but what are you doing currently to work on this?

Same whenever i think of my fear i cried and worry a lot.. to the point that i dont have motivation to do anything because of my fear... but you can get through that by making slef distraction like sewing, painting, making some diys even though you dont have motivation to do it.. the more attention you give to your thought the worse it gets... you cant fight with ur anxiety but you control or manage it... thats what i experienced.. i came to the point that im so hopeless like i cant get out of bed and stressingg myslef from thinking but it will came also to the point that youll realize if you think of it everyday, does your fear will change?? It will not change right... i know its so hard but youll get used to it..you can watch motivational videos on yt i hope you feel better😊

Maybe massages , definitely counseling ( or a support group ..look in your area) .. hmmm yoga , Reiki (which I definitely want to look into) try writing in a journal ...it’s pretty theraputic , it can definitely have you in a chipper mood !! Anxiety can get annoying ..you want to be anxiety free 24/7 but sometimes anxiety is that chip on your shoulder . I definitely can relate to you. Hope the anxiety has subsided since you posted this
