Has anyone on here beat the battle of anxiety and regained there life where there not always thinking in their head about things that dont matter? Is there hope? I am starting to feel better, abd i finally realized in good sence that im always fighting trying to stay in control of my anxiety. Is there a point where we dont have to control it anymore it just comes second nature and we can get on with our lives? Thanks

I have always tried to stay in control of my feelings in hopes my anxiety would go away. But that just made things worse. You've got to learn to feel you feelings and understand why you have them. There could be something that happened to you that you could be unaware of that you need to deal with.

You can't 'beat' anxiety or battle with it. That's what perpetuates it and makes it worse! Took me 18 yrs to figure this out.

I been alot better lately maybe 50%, (80% on a good day!) since i learned to stop fighting it and being scared of the symptoms. Read my journal for details, Reply 1 suggests the original source.

Get recovered soon man :)

I don't know if it's possible to BEAT it, but it is possible to MANAGE it, by facing the very situations or people that trigger it until one figures out a way to handle it in a different way. Trusting that LOVE WILL PREVAIL helps too.

I know for myself, I have come a long way. Then there are days where it is worse than others. Keep fighting the fight and never give up. There is always hope for recovery. Hang in there, my friend!

    As a lot on here, I feel as my brain is just wired wrong. I feel like whenever I've been real bad with anxiety, my only coping mechanisms are either having a few drinks, or sex and masturbating.But then having a climax ONLY to decrease anxiety makes me feel worse sometimes!  Like I'm only using it as a crutch to feel ok.  So then after I... *release*... I feel kind of weird and awkward about...

We've had hard times and great times, but always make things work and won't give up on each other. We are best friends and I can't imagine my life without him. My husband and middle child are ADHD. It's been challenging. Fighting for my child from...
