Very high anxiety as of late

[ss1983]

I am new here and I don't know if this is the correct place for this. I am sorry if I ramble or jumble my points up.

I am dealing with very elevated levels of depression and anxiety that has been going on for the last 2 or so months. About a month ago I was not selected for a job that I really wanted. I am going to be going through a major life change in a couple of days(new job that I don't necessarily want but feel like I should do for experience) that has me adhering to a strict schedule where as before I was able to make up my own schedule. This is proving difficult for my body to adjust to.

I still live with my mother and she has several health complications that further my anxiety by making me worry about her. She has been everything to me for most of my life in supporting me and lately, even though it isn't going to be for a while, I am having feelings for some reason, that if I am stuck in this one job I don't necessarily want, that when she passes I won't see a reason to continue on.

I have trouble sleeping at times, feel fatigued most of the day, can sometimes be jittery, feel the usual agitated stomach and fear/worry of the future that comes with anxiety. I have been taking an anti-depressant for 20+ years now but haven't seen a psychiatrist/psychologist for a very long time.

Thanks for your time anyone who reads this. Any advice would be welcomed.

Poor thing. I feel like you should seek out support in a counselor or support group local to you..but I am also happy you are reaching out!!

I, too, have bouts of anxiety. I have learned that giving myself wholly to God and letting Him take the burden helps. Have faith that He loves you and just give yourself completely to Him through His Son Jesus. I am not a crackpot type of Christian who thinks all will be sunny and bright if you do this. Bad things can happen to everyone. However, if you lay your burden on God and not waver in your faith you will find peace and understanding. He will help you to deal with the circumstances. God bless you.🙂
