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 one day

And depressed the next. I feel like I haven't been the same over the past few weeks. I worry whether my luck has ran out after years of overall stability. I have started losing my focus at work for the first time in a while. Why after all the therapy, the meds, do I still keep having issues with my moods? I suppose it will pass just like all the other times.

If you can see a therapist, can they help?

Yea, I still wish for a *cure* instead of this tedious maintenance bull, but. . .

Sigh. . .

Yea, most of those psycho yaddahs pass on their own but they seem to pass more smoothly and comprehensively when accept the need and *simply* keep up with my therapy (spiritual) maintenance, whether I like it or knot.

I kinda wish I didn't have to brush my hair and several other self-care chores every day, too. Doing away with that daily dump biz is top of that list.

Another sigh. . .

Yes, it is a roller coaster - feeling better and then feeling worse. Hang in there.

I go to therapy once a week, and it is something I kind of need to do as "maintenance" as arfie described it. Sometimes it just helps to have someone to talk to, but it is difficult to pour on intense feelings onto a friend or family member. As with my moods, yes, they ebb and flow. I know I can feel hopeful and motivated and upbeat, but it's been a while. I hope it flows back in soon.

Thank you for sharing. I too have been having problems focusing at work due to a recent spike in anxiety. I am praying for you! One day at a time. The medicine and the therapy and all the things that help are tiring yes, but they do help! Keep fighting one day at a time. Again, I am praying for you and know that I feel the anxiety at work as well.

Yeah, usually I am motivated about work. And I am grateful that I like my job. Fortunately things are not very busy so I can afford to work slowly and less productively. Thanks for your comment and prayer. I hope your anxiety floats away soon.

I am sorry that you are struggling so much! Sometimes we have a daily battle with some things we have to face, but I hope that you won't give up doing your best. I pray that God gives you strength. We all need strength. I hope you feel better for a long time. Sometimes we can have a relapse in spite of medications working and effective therapy. I suggest you continue your meetings with your therapist. You are a strong person!

Unfortunately I think it takes alot of work for most of us. I am back to therapy and it definitely helps. Exercise definitely helps too. My desk job is really bad for my anxiety but after work I go to the gym and i feel better physically and mentally

    I haven't written in my diary on my computer since May because I thought that my computer was dying.  I got away from writing but my computer is hanging in there.  I think that I will start writing in it again.  It's so therapeutic.

    First, I hope everyone is doing well, and continuing to fight that good fight! Keep up the great work on yourselves; I'm rooting for all of you!So, I started doing therapy at the beginning of the year, when I was in my most depressed state, but with my therapist, I made big changes and steps in the right direction. But, over a month ago, she couldn't take my insurance anymore, and I had to stop...
