I feel down in the dumps. I feel like I can’t smile and that I will never smile again. My heart is racing and my anxiety is at 99% at the moment. I usually try to respond to most posts on where but looking through them this morning I don’t feel as though I can.
Why does anxiety try to take away our happiness and why does it insist it’s staying !!!!

hi I was known as the smiler in my youthful days and its long gone.i do still smile but not as much sometimes I feel guilt if I smile to much.sorry you feel this way what things in life made you happy before.
Hey Kim , I see a therapist every week mostly and no medication due to my work. I take a small dose of propanol. I don’t tend to suffer with depression on a bad level. Just my mood drops now and then when I’m stressed out or anxious. I’ve made a 90% improvement over the years but it still lingers.

It's OK, it's just that as much as I do still try and do things, such as just been on a walking holiday. I feel dreadful all day and constantly fighting the symptoms tires me out.
So yes I do go out etc, but there is no enjoyment of me anymore. I'm sure it will change....
I’m similar on holiday. I think it’s because we expect to feel this way and when we are busy and occupied we feel better because we don’t realise the symptoms but then we get tired because we are always busy.
Anxiety and stress can cause many awful symptoms. I’m currently sat having eye twitches and muscle spasms in my face lol. Comes and goes ....
