Feeling tremendously anxious and afraid
Hello fellow anxiety comrades, uh I’ve never done one of this myself but I thought let’s give it a shot. Recently I came down with really bad physical symptoms of what felt like IBS and frequent heartburn, which I believe have to do alot with the fact that I’ve always been an anxious and panicked person. Well my IBS cleared up but now what ended up happening was the fact that I was left with heartburn and an uncomfortable feeling in my esophagus which is sending my anxiety to new heights at this point I’m feeling hopeless and afraid . I did have my long term listener but it seems like they disappeared. Looking for support in this dark time. Any would be highly appreciated thank you for reading.
@CloudsEscape Hello, I'm really sorry to hear that you're going through such a challenging time right now. Dealing with physical symptoms of anxiety can be incredibly overwhelming, especially when it feels like they're compounding on top of each other. It sounds like you're experiencing a lot of discomfort, both physically and emotionally, and that can definitely take a toll on your mental health.
It's completely understandable to feel hopeless and afraid when faced with such symptoms, but please know that you're not alone in this. Many of us have experienced similar struggles and can empathize with what you're going through. While your long-term listener may not be available right now, I'm here as a supportive listener if you wish to talk.
Have you considered reaching out to a healthcare professional for guidance on managing your physical symptoms? Sometimes having a professional opinion and a treatment plan can provide a sense of relief and direction.
In the meantime, if you need someone to talk to or just want to vent, please feel free to reach out here. I'm here to listen and support you through this dark time. Take care of yourself 💕
Thank you so much for the response very kind💖, I will take you on your offer right now I’m doing a little better I’m taking it one day at a time is all I can do at this point.
In the same boat. It is such an awful feeling. When anxiety this strong, it is moment by moment. And being as gentle with yourself as possible. Anxiety makes you feel weak, when it reality, you are so strong.
I try not to fear the fear and call it's bluff as much as I possibly can. But when it's severe I know it can feel impossible. I'm with you. And I hope you find this a safe space where you can feel more support.
Thank you for your lovely message , it gives me courage honestly and I admire anyone including you who can keep going toward. I appreciate your support💖 I am with you as well fighting this all us together✨💖
Here with you. Listening
Thank you 🙏I appreciate it It’s just a rough time at this present time I keep teling myself this too shall pass and the sun will shine once again, but right now I gotta go threw the rain first.
I have anxiety and panic disorder and I’ve definitely felt stuck at times. It can definitely feel like nothing will relieve the bad feelings. Recently, I tried a version of pranayama breathing. Basically you hold one nostril shut, breathe in, hold, then switch nostrils, breathe out. Repeat this for as along as you like.
everything works different for everyone, and after 5 years of panic attacks I can confidently say this has been my best friend. I hope you try it and I hope you find some ease ♥️
Of course thank you so much for sharing , I don’t mind at all I like learning of new techniques that fellow anxiety people use. I’ll be sure to try this. Yes I’ve found ease in your message shows that you care ✨💖I’m grateful and I hope for you too we find more tranquility🙏
@CloudsEscape awww I'm sorry your unwell sweetie ❤ I know anxiety (and googling symptoms) can send you into a panic, when your not sure what's wrong with you.
