Feeling overwhelmed lately
My anxiety is really bad lately. For the first time ever I will have to stop working. Il really sad. Meds don’t seem to work. Il scared of losing everything.
@Rbarros82 hello! I suffer with anxiety as well and I’m sorry to hear you won’t be working . Was that your choice or no? I’m sorry no one has responded to your thread ppl often don’t respond to mine either. I’m here for you if you need anything I hope things get better for you
Thank you for your kind words. Im praying for better days and to get some relief. It has been non stop. How have you been?
@Rbarros82 it will get better I pray as well so I will include you in my prayers. I am doing okay some days are better than others so I’m trying to take it one day at a time. Tell me abt your day!
Thank you. It means a lot
@Rbarros82 of course are things better ?
This morning was hard. It
was sunny today here in Switzerland it helped a little. Gotta keep strong.
@Rbarros82 oh goodness what a beautiful country to be in! Yes you must be strong even when it hard. When you hit rock bottom the only way to go is up. Do something that makes you happy today even if it’s small watch your fav movie get your favorite food do something for yourself :)
Managed to go for a walk. But it’s quite hard today. My chest is super heavy. How are you?
@Rbarros82 why is your chest heavy ? I am okay I had class Today I am in college so I just got that done and worked out
@Rbarros82Hey there. This is common. I've done some tips on my anti anxiety toolbox posts. Check them out. I hope they help. You got this. Don't stress. It passes. The trick is to not let it scare you. Even though it is scary, tell yourself, you're not afraid of it. Its just a passing thing. @antianxietytoolbox
Do you have any non- medicine techniques to help calm yourself during an anxiety attack?
Im trying a lot of stuff. Meditation. Workout. But it’s very severe lately. Hard to come out of the house. Stopped working for the first time ever. I’m scared of losing everything. Not even Xanax is helping a lot
@Rbarros82 Sorry to hear your going through this tough situation, I completely understand what it is like to feel anxiety, and what do you think you can do to put yourself more at ease?
Hey. Tks for stopping by. I can’t really answer that. Can’t find pleasure or solace in much. My physical symptoms are too strong and always present. I’m trying meditation. Medication. Walking. Eating well. No drinks. No smoke. No drugs. What works for you?
@Rbarros82
Anxiety can be difficult and especially when experiencing all those things.
What works for me is to focus on the sensation at the soles of my feet when I walk, counting the number of times I blinked, and thinking of food I like.
