Recently lost job and now feeling severe anxiety

[Yaarii14]

i have grown a bit since my last few posts on here. I started with severe panic attacks and anxiety. With the help of this app and wonderful people. I learned to overcome it. I went to school, graduated, got a job. It was well. I recently lost my job and I been overwhelmed with my thoughts and feelings. I feel as my anxiety/panic attacks are coming back and i cant calm myself. I panic once again as bad as before and these thoughts and anxious feelings throughout my whole body panic me.. I an feeling like anxiety is taking over me and im in a constantly feeling scared, I even dont want to leave the house.. I feel very sad, anxious and I want to get on my feet. Any suggestions may help to clam my anxiety, and panic attacks. I feel lost, I dont know what to do, especially I dont have w supportive family. So I keep everything to myself and its draining..

I can relate to you 100% I want you to find support and help right now make it a priority. Back in march I was so stressed from my job having covid ended up leaving my job and I had what they say was a panic attack two days later was hell been a journey since. If I could change anything months ago it would be forcing myself out of the house accepting help from people and making sure my mind could not go down the deep areas. You will get through this I’m so sorry you lost your job. Yes I know our stories are not linear and you could have a great out come in a couple weeks time.

No need for anxiety, Yaarii14, even though you have just lost your job. Remember: every adversity brings with it the seed of a greater benefit. Your job now is to look for that greater benefit.

Everybody I know who has lost their job, including self, ends up with a better job. It will be the same for you.

Of course, your job loss leads to higher levels of anxiety. Accept those feelings and symptoms for the time being, do not fight them as that causes more stress. Learn to live with your anxiety and soon you will be living without it. This is the truth, your way forward.

Accept your feelings of panic, do not allow your heightened anxiety to make you a prisoner in your own home. Take a deep breath, breathe out slowly and reclaim your life. Anxiety will not kill you whatever it whispers in your ear. Accept all those feelings and you will stop feeding your nerves with fear. Accept, float past those feelings and let time pass.
