Anxiety and panic
Today I'm feeling very anxious and incapable of doing the things I need to do. I tried to go out and get groceries and had to turn around and come home because of panic. I feel useless and don't have anyone to talk to
@Firewife
It seems like you really tried your best. I appreciate that you made the effort! Even though you had to return back home, I think it's a good step that you tried. I'm sorry that you're feeling anxious at the moment though. Anything that usually helps? Sending hugs💜
Thank you for replying. I ended up calling my therapist and he helped some. I'm just hoping tomorrow is better!
I’ve been dealing with a lot of anxiety and depression lately also. I went and saw a psychologist yesterday and he helped tons. First time in about 7 years I’ve talked to one. He shed some light on cycles of depression and anxiety. It was good to hear. If you need to chat I check a few times a day even more.
Thank you!
Sorry to hear that this is happening to you. It’s okay to have anxiety. Going outside and facing people is hard and what matters is that you tried your best. I hope that you have a great day.
Thank you so much for replying
@Firewife You are willing to go out alone. I am proud of you. I think maybe the surrounding environment is too noisy to make you feel uncomfortable. If you try listening to music? Focusing on the music in your headphones is a great way to avoid panic attacks; hopefully, you won't feel so bad going out.
I will try that!
@Firewife Hello, I don’t think that’s a too big problem, I know how you feel because I often have anxiety, I don’t want to be like that but I can’t control myself. So I know that you did your best, but just try to be just a little bit more brave next time, and so on, you might not have anxiety or be panic anymore.
@Firewife
Even making an attempt as you did took incredible effort.
I don't know if you would find this recommendation helpful for your situation, but I'll share what helped me in case it might. I started using a grocery shopping app and slowly grew to be less anxious about the whole ordeal of grocery shopping.
I hope the best to you.
