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...
Like most everyone with anxiety..my anxiety ebbs and flows. Sometimes it gives me just a bit of a break and then others it is just horrific. Here's my question. Does anybody in here ever just lose it when someone asks them to do something out of their comfort zone. Here's an example..it just happened tonight. My daughter asked me to take her to Walmart after church tonight to get pencils and it just really irritated me. I mean it's only like 10 miles from me but she just kinda slung it on me and my current level of anxiety is just to high. I'm not really mad at her for asking..she's just a 15 year old girl..I guess I'm just mad at myself that I can't just make the short trip without having to feel all this anxiety...does anybody else go through this?
I find it strange, but many times my friends will ask me to do something and my anxiety will spike up. For example, I am beginning to start working out again and my best friend invited me to yoga at her gym tomorrow night. I told her yes- and I was so excited because I have always wanted to try yoga for my anxiety! Ever since she asked me on monday I have felt so nervous and anxious. it's crazy- this is my BEST friend and yes it is something out of my comfort zone but it shouldn't be causing me anxiety. I am not going to cancel, I am going to make myself go. I probably won't be anxious about it once I get there but I am right now.
I like to try new things but I am a creature of habit for sure. I do experience heightened anxiety when I break out of my comfort zone.
Here if you need to chat!
This past week I did 45 minutes on the treadmill Infelt like I had 35 or 40 minutes of anxiety. It was terrible.
I made it through and felt food, I just don't want the drama.
It disappoints me the way I act about it at times too.
Going Food shopping with my old man was a regular thing for me but in the past 3 months I have just refused to go. Last time I went my nerves had the better of me and I was trying so hard to keep cool and struggling and every time my Dad said something to me I would snap as I just wanted to get out of the place. He wouldn't know why I was like that so it doesn't make me feel great that it happens.
Also in work I kind of lost my way with my Anxiety and comfert zone and just ended up getting up out of my seat one day in a room full of 150 odd people and just walked out... I figured that was me walking out on the Job but they put me down as sick.
