Everyday. It’s becomf my “baseline” where someone without anxiety disorder has a baseline of feeling ok or content or “normal”. My baseline is always high anxiety.

Hello Will2015abc :-)

Every day is such a lot to be worrying and feeling anxious

I know for me when something is bothering me or I have a fear that has set in I am the same everyday all day and can even wake in the night with the thoughts , not a nice way to live at all

But when I am more on form then it is a lot less which I suppose is a blessing :-)

Thank you for your reply :-) x

Anxiety has run my life since the age of 11, and now I suffer with Atrial Falibralation which is made worse by anxiety and panic, so it’s not only run/ruined my life but now likely to kill me. Every day I am in pain due to needing various surgeries but my health anxiety stops me having the surgery.

And then to make matters s much worse this horrid government want to persecute us even more only adding more stress to what is a really crap life already

Hello stix & Welcome :-)

I hope now you have replied to the poll you will feel free to be able to come on the Community and talk with us to you will always be welcomed :-)

I totally understand that when you have health problems that this causes more anxiety and the fear is so strong that then that stops us getting the treatment we need , I always say that is anxiety at it's worse taking full control over us and somehow we have to try and beat that and make sure we win and not anxiety I know it is easier said than done but with support you could and maybe talking with us could be the first kind of support you get as we all understand :-)

If you need a chat with us you know where we are , there is always a listening ear even if we don't have all the answers :-) x

The fear of fear never seems to leave me...I get some respite at times, a good movie, or programme or a walk, although each day it’s there lurking...I have social anxiety and it seems to affect everything, the postman calling, the post arriving...the neighbours chatting in the garden..

Yes I worry each day about my anxiety triggers...

😱 I treasure those times if peace during the day that I do get x

Hello Hidden

I can relate to how you feel and how anxiety affects you in some way each day

I also understand treasuring the moments when you do get some peace

Hopefully a day at a time we will get more of those days when we can say it was a good day , we can only keep doing our best :-)

Thank you for your reply :-) x
