Feeling trapped by anxiety
I’m new to this app, but I’m hoping to find some help. I suffer from GAD, panic disorder, OCD, depression and hypochondria. I’ve been this way since I was 8 years old. I’m currently seeing a therapist once a week and on 2 different medications. I go through highs and lows and I’m currently in a low. I’m currently experiencing extreme anxiety around my health. I’ve been to a doctor who examed me and I go to another tonight, but this feeling of impending doom is never ending. I’m so tired of feeling like this all the time. Can someone please share their experience and how they cope?
@anxiousmama2015 First of all, thank you for being brave enough to share what you are going through. Sometimes it is helpful to label it and talk about it. It can also help to find others who are going through similar situations. Did you know that there is a sub-community just for anxiety? You can find it here: https://www.7cups.com/home/anxiety/
I am glad that you are seeking help from professionals. I hope that you have, or can find, supportive people to help and encourage you as you journey through this difficult time. And I hope the doctors can come up with a clear plan to help you move forward.
Please reach out if you'd like to chat further.
Thank you so much for this! I appreciate it.
@anxiousmama2015 hey, question for you - do you have a kid born in 2015? Maybe we can be mom support buddies.
