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...
Hey guys. So I have been on this before and never thought after being treated for this before successfully would I be back. I have been battling panic attacks since 9 and severe anxiety and panic since 16.
Well i went thought a big amount of stress a huge life chafe moving out of my fathers pretty suddenly. I understand this may throw me off but I couldn't accept the fact that my anxiety and panic came back.
I have been with anxiety and panic again for about 6 months now. Mostly anxiety the past month, I don't remember my last full blown panic attack.
Any how, this is what I have been struggling with the most!
I don't remember having this problem with anxiety before - this feels like its new. I used to have anxiety more so about my health - or I would get like racing thoughts, sometimes bad weird thoughts and severe physical symptoms.
But this time around, i have this sudden change of outlook on things. Everything just becomes extremely negative at some moments! like everything hits me and life feels like it sucks!
I then started to battle with this thought "what if I do something to myself" "what if my thoughts get so bad I wind up doing smth bad to myself"
I don't want to say the word but you know what I mean.
The thing is, i love life and i have many opportunities ahead of me! And i get so frustrated when i get these threatening thoughts that feel so much like I'm going to do them and then i get terrified and then sad.
I lost weight from stress and gotten depressed from my anxiety - but my life isn't so bad at all! And i get these super irrational thoughts! they make NO sense and things are not at all as bad as I think sometimes!
And then the next moment it will go away. But it confuses me so much! it feels like, well what do i really think!?!?!
I DO see a great therapist, but sometimes i need someone to relate with.
Im freaking out right now because i feel like i don't even know what I really feel about think about things!? Maybe tomorrow ill even feel funny about writing this, i don't know!
Can anyone else relate?

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!
Take time to add something to help distract the usual pattern, and really focus in the moment.
Changing lifestyles brings a choice of pattern of thought, so use it to your advantage.
Best wishes!
If you obey this rule then you will never do anything silly, because you only want to do something silly when you are suffering an attack, either anxiety or panic. When you're fine, you're fine.
So never do anything unless you are fine. If you can make this rule and stick to it, it will solve a lot of the secondary problems caused by anxiety, where we do something dumb because we did something dumb because we did something dumb because we did something dumb. :)
I was suicidal for a year. I think it's just your brain's 'helpful idea' because it can't think of anything else to say. Brain is retarded without any idea of what is really not going to serve you best. Ignore brain when it is in this mood. And when you're angsty go to bed. you can't do anything dumb if you don't let yourself get out of bed. :D
