Hello happyjackandjoan
I love your user name
Thank you for your reply , it is good to know what other people would use to describe how they feel and your input is much appreciated x
Hi there ,~ and welcome!! Hope you are having a good weekend 🙂
Morning lulu ~ I have put nightmare as my response. But I also find Anxiety very Draining ~ just seems to suck the life out of me leaving me feeling tired and weak. When ever I have an episode of panic all I want to do is lie down.
It would be so lovely for all of us to be Anxiety free ~ let's hope one day??? 🙂xx
Hello Hidden
I could have chosen all the words and maybe more that members will suggest , I narrowed it down to debilitating in the end as no matter what part of my anxiety is playing up it all feels so debilitating and stops me doing things
I can totally agree with feeling drained
Thank you for your reply x
Yes there are so many words to describe anxiety and none of them pleasant tbh. You couldn't list them all.Just wish Mr Anxiety would let us live our lives in peace tbh. Not too much to ask is it??
Wishing you well today 🙂🙂xx
It tries to take over everything, replacing every spark of happiness with negativity and doubts
Hello pccogni
I hope you are keeping as well as you can be
Yes it certainly does , I relate to where you are coming from
Thank you for your reply x
Too true !! Anxiety just doesn't want us to be happy at all.Rejoices in all the negatives that make us unhappy 🙂
That was very difficult to pick just one because when it's bad all of them can apply
Hello Cleaner
I agree that all the choices I could have selected in one way or another
I went for debilitating as no matter what my anxiety is focusing on it is debilitating
Nice to see you and I hope you are keeping as well as you can be
Thank you for your reply x
Yes I agree ! I could most likely have ticked them all.Anxiety just drains the life out of you!!🙄
cop well
Hi lulu sorry I didn't get back to you sooner! I look forward to your post but I've been really down for a while! Can't sleep and it's getting to be a real problem any ideas diazepam doesn't even help? Thank you for any help you can give david
Hello Celtic27
Have you seen on weekly check in post on the Community , if you have I bet putting this question on the post might get you some good suggestions
I am sorry you have been struggling with sleeping there is nothing worse 
If Diazepam are not working well I am a bit lost
But you could try and make sure you don't sleep in the day ( that is if you do )
Take warm bath before bed
Maybe listen to some soothing music or meditation before bed
I never have a set bed time but always go to bed when I am tired or other wise I would struggle to sleep
If it continues though have a word with your Doctor there could be something else they could prescribe to help
Let us know how you get on x
yes it controls me
as boy had no vaccina he don well
he has all the family look after him
i hate it !
