Sooo anxious

[anxiousgirl7]

I feel so anxious and weird everyday, feel sooo out of it and not right, major depersonlization and derealization. I’m scared I’m going crazy!!

I’m so sorry you’re feeling that way! I’m in the same boat right now, and it sucks. Just remember that there’s always an end to these feelings, even if it takes some work and time 💙

Anxiety symptoms suck for sure. Knowing that they are a symptom and we’ve had them hundreds if not thousands of times. We have to remember to do the slow breathing. Relaxing music and meds if you have them.

You guys and me will be ok. Negative thoughts are what fuels the symptoms.

Best wishes

John

“Negative thoughts are what fuels the system” is something I need to remember better

I’m sorry you’re feeling like this. You are definitely not alone though. You are not going crazy either, your brain and body are responding to the unbalanced chemicals induced by anxiety. Have you got a therapist who can talk you calmly through the attacks?

Absolutely agree with the others - it's a bit of a vicious circle. I used to get this for weeks or months at a time - very debilitating. Recently, though, I've come to recognise the symptoms and, knowing that it is anxiety and that it will go away, seems to have shortened periods to days.

Tough times at the moment, and somewhat unreal for all of us, but we're all more adaptable than we think, and we will adapt to the "new normal". Try not to struggle against it, pace yourself, and let it take its course; you'll get there.
