Brain fog

I just wish my Brain would shut up and give me a break. If I had had one day out side of my head I think I would be able to recoup. It’s hell always getting lost inside my thoughts no way out! The more I try to stop thinking the more I think.. Does anyone else ever feel like they will get lost and not come back?? I think that’s my biggest fear.

Yes! The more I think about anxiety and all of its symptoms the more I get anxious. Then I will try to change my focus and distract myself only to have my anxiety come back stronger. Luckily there are times that I can distract myself and it will work. Now I'm trying to just accept anxiety for what it is. Its harmless but so very irritating.

That is how I felt at my worst before asking for help. You need to seek help if you haven't already as it will just get worse and start seriously affecting your life. Wish you the best.

Thanks I do get help that’s just it nothing is working.. I feel like I have been the test dummy for years and nothing is helping me. On good days I tell me self you got this next time you will do this but as soon as I catch a glimpse of fear everything goes out the door I’m in flight mood and starting from square one..
