I hate the same crap, different day. Take my pain away, plz

[Joel420]

I'm having a hard time with every day being a repeat of the last. Anxiety, stress and panic all day, awful feelings never quit. It's hard to hold on. I don't know where to turn or what to do. It feels like my world is in a rut and I'm stuck in the mud. Overwellming pain

Why don't things get better, ever?

Hi Joel420, I hear you. It sounds like the tires are spinning in the mud. Round and round they go and yet you get no where but deeper in mud. Life is like that when there are no changes in our life. We get into a cycle of anxiety, stress and panic each day. Somehow that cycle needs to be broken. Some choices are with short term medication and therapy just to break the cycle and get unstuck while working on the issues causing you do be this way. Another choice and most important is the acceptance of these awful feelings not being physically dangerous. It is mind over matter issue. Our minds sends out warnings that something is not quite right. We can either choose to override that thought or coddle it and make it grow. Before long we are in that rut.

Joel this doesn't have to be a life time sentence. Getting back control of your life is in your hands. It may not seem like it now, but it is. Turning negative thoughts and behaviors into positive ones is what will turn your life around. Not easy to do and takes time and some effort on your part. Do not allow these thoughts to take over your day.

You've turned to the right place in getting the understanding and support you need while making this transition. We all go through this, it's a part of what anxiety is all about. I'm glad you turned to the forum, I know you joined a while ago but it's a step forward in posting and responding with others so as not to feel so alone and so discouraged.

Take note as to what is your life like that allows anxiety to grab on and not let go?

Take care my friend, talk to you soon again.

I know the feeling Joel everyday feels like groundhog Day! But there is a way to break the cycle,just do something different even if it's going in the garden or reading a book! Small steps work best,I do anything I can to lessen my Anxieties and PTSD symptoms,I take painkillers for other ailments ,I know you feel it will never end and it may not but it does get easier honestly! I now get good days on a more regular basis,I still get days where I just want to give up ! We just have to try our best that's all ( sounds easy but it's not) take care Dell
