Experiences with

Anxiety

I usually use ashwaganda for my anxiety and it calms me down. But it also puts me to sleep. That the next day I would need coffee to wake up. And I can’t drink coffee cause of anxiety lol It’s an ongoing loop :/

Going another round with anxiety again. Woke me up last night. It’s so frustrating! I feel like a tight rubber band about ready to split. I have Gad and dysthymia which sometimes erupts into more serious bouts.

It does take tremendous strength to keep going when we carry heavy loads like loneliness, depression, and anxiety. Can you relate?

I've just been diagnosed with unstable emotional personality behaviour disorder along with my anxiety and depression.. and have been reading up on it .. very interesting and helpful info . I was also wounding if any of you guys have a personality disorder and if so what's the best type of help ??

But having to do it also sparks off my anxiety and depression. This last year has been hard on both. Started out 2020 in the hospital for clinical depression and I’ve been working on it and the anxiety issues ever since with my therapist. Still it’s very hard.

It connects to my feelings of depression, anxiety, and loneliness. Now, the people who I confided in can't understand why I cancelled the appointment, and are not happy with me, thus isolating me further. Some days I'm fine with it, other days I struggle.

Hi everyone For some time now I've had to take melatonin (the tablets), mostly during nighttime when my anxiety acts up or when I can't sleep. I have found they work very well. The only thing that bothers me is that the next morning I wake up feeling very tired and out of it.

I want to get back on with my life as this anxiety has crippled me and cost me my job.

After opening and reading My feed, I can see there are so many desperate vulnerable people on here stuck in a monumental rut, what with relationship problems and loneliness to severe depression and anxiety disorders....the list goes on...so I just wanted to try and cover the whole spectrum of ailments

Does anyone else feel like depression and anxiety are life sentences. There are so many times I feel like I’m stuck with this. I feel as though I’m treatment resistant. I max out every antidepressant I get put on. They won’t give me stronger anxiety meds because of suicidal ideation.

I have started to be attacked from bouts of feeling hot but no sweating.Also awake all night long with pounding heart that is still going on.Is this anxiety as never had such a long bout that is worse laying down..has to be on my back but still awful x

But I’d love to know how you all get through workouts while managing anxiety .

I read in other places that sleeping is not recommended for anxiety and depression. But when I wake up from sleeping too much I feel more refreshed and relaxed. And in a better mood.

My parents are elders and I’ve been living in with so much anxiety cuz I feel I need to protect them but at the same time I can’t control their lives.

But, I am starting to realize much of my depression and anxiety is from regrets that I am so educated and have never worked. I need more of an income, so I need to figure out a way I can work. Does anyone have any experience with this issue?

Do you have a pet that has a positive effect on your anxiety and or depression? This is Daisy 1yr old Rex bun 💛 such a good girl.

I’m taking care of my Dad who is bed ridden and not well; not working at the moment; I have financial issues; depression and anxiety; and no one to really talk too. There’s just so much. This latest guy really hurt me. I was so excited and hopeful.

Today I'm a little bit worst with too much anxiety and obsessive thoughts and I just wonder if I should talk to my therapist to get meds or something. I didn't need them while it was just anxiety and obsessive thoughts but since I have depressive episodes when I feel really really low...

My anxiety this whole week has been at an all time high. Living in a very emotionally, verbally, & mentally toxic home has just become normal for me. But this week in particular i shared with my family that I’m looking for a new job.

Are the obsessive thoughts usually associated with anxiety or with depression? I can't stand being alone. I feel awful when theres no one that's with me. During the day I always stay with my family but when I'm alone I keep having the obsessive thoughts - they never stop! Please help.
