I found this site by mistake. I'm hoping that just talking to people will help my anxiety and maybe I can help someone in return by sharing our feelings. I want to know what others are feeling. I'm an overthinker! Its sick! I have a wonderful normal boyfreind that I feel that I am slowly pushing away because of my anxiety and overthinking. I feel like I'll never keep a guy with my terrible panic attacks and anxiety. I accuse him of stuff that doesn't even exist. Then I feel guilty and take it out on others that I love. It's a miserable cycle. Haven't slept good for years. Just cant shut my mind off EVER!!! Really no one to talk to about it that understands. In college I was on anti depressants and anxiety meds... but they only turned me into a person I was not. I had developed eating disorders and far worse things. Sometimes talking things out is the best.

I know how you feel. I have to be on meds but it takes the right one and their are so many. I will listen any time. I have a friend that dosent take meds and she has to call me when she has a problem. So just chat with someone here when you need to.

Thank you! I have tried all sorts of medications and I react poorly to them. Each anti depressant did something different to me. I feel that I need to change the way I am thinking. Can't afford therapy. Although, I think CBT would be the best for me. Sometimes I succeed at talking myself out of negative thinking/overthinking... then others its literally killing me. I guess it really bothers because I see myself beat it sometimes and then other times I'm sitting there dwelling on something that yesterday I didn't think about at all. Now I'm confusing what's real and fake. I'm worried that my constant anxiety stress my whole life will leave me alone and miserable.

Hi there; I just joined today and saw your comment. I too often can't shut my mind off. I often lay there, thinking, thinking, thinking. I have a hard time making and maintaining frienships, it's hard for me in general to talk to people, especially about myself. I have a hard time opening up. Anyway, just thought I'd say hi and that I relate to what you wrote...

Hi I'm also new here. I don't have a problem with anxiety all the time. It just seems to creep up on me. I let things pile up and feel like I shouldn't burden anyone else with my problems so I stuff them inside of me. I feel so alone most of the time. I try to talk about how I feel to people but I'm not sure if they understand.

I know what you mean, I constantly feel like I'm pushing my boyfriend away through the attacks and anxeity but I found that the more he tries to understand the more I worry about everything as I feel I'm worrying about the problems for the both of us not just myself.
I found that if I feel guilty about something or I'm worried about something if I write it all down and let him read it. We then go down to the beach and watch as the paper floats away into to the see. It just makes me feel like all the worries are in the writing and that if the paper is gone then so are the worries! Good luck!xxxx
