Anxiety and lying

[riverscasino]

I have major anxiety issues. And it’s really getting in the way of work, relationships, even sports. I’m staring to lose all my energy for things. Everyone tells me i’m just being lazy. I don’t know what to do.

Hi Rivers, Welcome to our support group it's a really great group of people I understand having no energy and I know it has nothing to do with laziness I think it's part of depression and makes your body and mind just like have no energy at all . I also have no energy a lot people also have told me that I'm kind of lazy but I just have no energy too You are not alone here we are all here for you please stay strong you deserve to be happy and relax and at peace. I wish you the very best you deserve it.

I agree. Anxiety has worn me down Mentally and Emotionally to the point of exhaustion. I felt like I’d done hard, physical labor all day.

Exactly! It’s getting to the point where just getting out of bed is hard. And when I finally do to get ready in the morning. Thinking about the day ahead makes me want to go back to bed. Panic sets in and it’s hard to leave the house. My doctor and my therapist are working with me on it, but when it’s like 12am and I need help, even just someone to talk to. I can’t reach out, they’re off duty. You know?

I feel like a lazy slug most of the time. I look around at all the chores I should be doing and stay unmotivated. It’s really frustrating. I have to push myself to do the simplest things. But I consider it a win if I can get out of bed. And can make said bed!

Go see a doctor to start. Don't listen to the couch physicians!

[LilyAnnepuppy]

Yes. Seeing a doctor is a good idea. But don’t negate the feeling of support you get here, where people understand where you’re coming from. This is a peer-to-peer forum and is not meant to take the place of medical professionals.

I also wanted to tell you something sometimes when it gets too hard especially with the anxiety and I can't reach anybody here I mean even though people usually respond pretty soon I sometimes call the hotline and it helps me especially when I'm on lunch from work and stuff like that and I can't reach anybody immediately to talk to you because a lot of times I can't log in from work and stuff so during my breaks or lunch I'll get on the phone to the 1-800 hotline and it's not only a line where in your word if you're in a heavy crisis or something you can just talk to someone about anything you're feeling at the moment and it really helps and they understand what you're going through I hope this helps you I called about like 12 times last year
