constantly very anxious and you?

[Defenestration]

I'm constantly very anxious about the smallest things I have to do...even trivial things, because of social phobia and generalized anxiety disorder. As soon as anything disrupts my hermit-like routine...

Are you the same?

Drugs and therapy dont help me

 

[idontknowwhatiam]

Same

 

[Defenestration]

Exhausting

[LastNite]

Yeh same. It's hell. Constantly worried about everything that *might* happen.

 

[Defenestration]

The problem is that as soon as an event that makes us anxious is resolved and we feel calm, another one arrives 2 or 3 days later, and it's been like this endlessly for many years.

 

[Nolongerlive]

Yes, the same here. I think the brain is playing tricks on us.

I have to see a pysc for medication, giving up many stuff in my life, telling myself that is how the physical body works, etc etc etc

 

[Defenestration]

Oui, pareil pour moi. Je crois que notre cerveau nous joue des tours.

Je dois consulter un psychiatre pour avoir des médicaments, renoncer à beaucoup de choses dans ma vie, me disant que c'est comme ça que fonctionne le corps, etc.

I hope.drugs.help.you

I used to have problems like that. A couple years ago something broke (cortisol overload) idk. Now it's just chronic numbness now.

 

[Defenestration]

J'avais ce genre de problèmes avant. Il y a deux ans, quelque chose a déraillé (surcharge de cortisol), je ne sais pas. Maintenant, c'est juste un engourdissement chronique.

How do you do to be better?

 

[Defenestration]

Big Anxiety is my life

 

[lifeisadream]

Totally relate so understand just how crippling & painful it is. Leaving the house is difficult & go into full blown panic mode.

 

[Defenestration]

Yes but people say its lazy

 

[current93]

yes and ive stared taking benzos like perscrition ativan and alprazolam, and an rc called bromazloam to deal with it, it's the only thing that takes the anxiety away sadly. anxiety has ruined my life in so many ways. i think i hate anxiety a lot more than depression.

 

[restingplace]

Similar.

Got generalised anxiety disorder, every moment that I'm not very distracted with something I feel incredibly stressed and overwhelmed. When there's more stressfull things I completely shut down which results in more stress.

Not on meds for anxiety specifically but it's meant to help a bit

 

[lifeisadream]

If anyone says it's lazy then they don't understand what living with anxiety or social phobia is actually like. I'm sorry if someone has said that to you or made you feel that way.

 

[Defenestration]

Si quelqu'un vous dit que c'est de la paresse, c'est qu'il ne comprend pas ce que c'est que de vivre avec de l'anxiété ou une phobie sociale. Je suis désolé(e) si quelqu'un vous a dit ça ou vous a fait vous sentir ainsi.

Yes its hurts

 

[Hollowman]

How do you do to be better?

Decades of suffering must have overwhelmed my mind and it just shut down. I didn't do anything to make it happen.

 

[raincandy_v]

I am constantly stressed out about everything it feels like. I overthink anyways.. so something akin to a grain of sand to someone else is a mountain falling to me.

 

[singingcrow]

yes

it feels horrible

 

[Bishop]

Ouais. Ça, l'anxiété est toujours là pour moi. Ça fait vraiment chier.

 

[NamelessEntity]

Yes, my brain is so loud with constant anxious thoughts all the time. I wish I could just take my head off and throw it.

 

[Kokonoe]

yes. i'm constantly scared and anxious to the point where i just can't function and i'm constantly miserable. i hate living like this. and no meds or anything ever work for it. i don't understand at all.

 

[Defenestration]

Oui. Je suis constamment angoissée et effrayée, au point d'être paralysée et malheureuse en permanence. Je déteste vivre comme ça. Et aucun médicament, rien ne me soulage. Je ne comprends pas du tout.

Like me...

 

[Defenestration]

I hate doing things, even the simplest ones like going to appointments, grocery shopping, going to the pharmacy.
