Anxiety Support Group
Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another. However, such feelings that linger over time and are very difficult to cope with, and which lack a clear cause, may indicate...
Right now, the anxiety is so bad it is a full blown attack. I can't think or breath or move and my mind won't let him go away.
I caan't take much more. My narcopath husband of 2 decades is still in my head and I can't get past it. My inner child just screams constantly and is terrified.

I did the dumbest thing today. I charged my earbuds, unplugged the block and put the block in my little bag instead of the earbuds. I wasn't happy about that when I got to the gym. What a dummy!
And we do want you to be safe here. I so want to welcome you here. And I hope you will have success sharing.
In writing it out here, you've taken the important first step in working out a plan of action that you can do without unlocking the fear itself.
Learning to live with a significant life sense of 'normal' changing to a different life sense of 'balance' takes a lot of determination, courage, bravery, and attention to self.
You are not along in this process.
For what it's worth
I hope you won't be too quick in giving up your counseling career because of your own problems. In my own long recovery, I have come to have more confidence in the counselors who admit to having troubles of their own. They serve me as guides through the trenches more than oracles on high who have never gotten their boots dirty. I don't all the way believe the counselors who present themselves as perfect and give me unassisted road maps to improbable places.
It's not about being perfect. It's about working ^it^ out.
