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...

Anxiety and dying

TheLionSleepsTonight
TheLionSleepsTonight

It's hard for me. Maybe in a little while it won't be anymore. I know I'm to leave my body as it betrays me by failing. But going though it is so difficult. Anxiety is so great and I cannot take anything for that. It's natural for the body to try to correct what's going on. But with each correction new symtoms come. There are NO support groups where I live for the dying.  That kinda sucks. There are plenty for bereavement. I think people need support when they are near the end of this journey. I would greatly appreciate daily support. The Lion May Sleep Sooner Than Later.

Thank you for putting a wonderful song into my head. I'm off to put my favorite Weaver's version on the good speakers now. Here's the Youtube link if ya wanna sing along. Who can resist singing along with Pete Seeger?

Ginny,

So sorry to hear what you are going through.

Not sure if you are spiritual or religious or not, but I have worked with hospice patients before and I have seen that prayer, song, and reading of holy writings can be comforting when you feel alone.

I'm pretty new to this forum, but there are lots of good people on here who give good advice and will provide a kind ear. We are here for you.

Not sure if you are a Michael Jackson fan or not, but his song popped in my head just now.

Lots of love to you.

Big hug Ginny...…. I was just going to suggest looking for hospice care in your area and give them a call.... There may be meetings there or they may know of where you can get some help for yourself

I am so sorry for what you're going through...… Another hug.....xo

Yes, I’m in a medical crisis for sure. My BP drops to low because I was over medicated with heart meds. I’ve been in crisis for almost 3 months now and have found no to little help. I do see another cardiologist tomorrow. I’m also coming off of Clonapin because it’s bad for my heart. So I can’t take psych meds at all. I have no in person friends and I am the caregiver for my son who needs a lot of direction. I’m hoping my BP will go back up and I can live another year or two . I would be happy with that. I try to keep it together and not cry but sometimes I just do cry. I have no family except my son who is 31. So I feel like I’m an alien on a foreign planet and no one truly understands me.

Do you see a therapist? That’s my only idea. Hospice can also be helpful but sharing your feelings with a therapist sounds very important for you right now.
I also second what was said about praying. Surely there are churches nearby and you don’t have to be a member to talk to a pastor or religious leader who can guide you in your end time.

    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!
