What do you get anxious about? Is it one thing or everything?

Google "100 coping skills". Coping skills are so important when managing anxiety. Meds are great but you dont want to depend on a pill to maintain your sanity.
My favorite coping skills are crochet, reading, playing with my dogs, writing on this site and reaching out. I also have a couple of apps on my phone that help me relax.

Hello Broken47. Welcome to DS.

I'm another lifelong anxiety sufferer. My official dx smorgasbord includes several of the anxiety subsets, including PTSD. I've been through allot of years of therapy and peer support has been an important part of all of them.

My advice is to keep building on this thread. See where it takes you. Maybe start another thread or three to see where *they* take you.

Welcome aboard. Listening. . .

Thank you for your replys i have suffered for years i have try everything but when it starts its like the very 1st time over again i no wgat i should do but it all just goes out the window and my mind goes blank so i thought i would join a group to see if that can help thank yous all for leaving message x

It was a process for me. My healing didn't happen overnight. I was in therapy in my twenties and took medication. I was eventually able to get off the medication but needed it a couple of more times in my thirties when I had relapses. Now in my forties, just resting and avoiding additional stressors help. For example, if I know I have something big coming up at work during the week that will make it hard for me, I'll try to spend a quiet weekend at home. But it did take a lot if time, therapy, and medication to get to where I am today.

Have you been in therapy, used medication? There are good
books and websites on coping with anxiety that might be helpful also.
I have had lifelong anxiety. After therapy with a person that specialized in
anxiety disorders, I got better at coping with anxiety. And being put on
medication. You have to work on it everyday. But it can get better.

Thank you everyone i have had therapy after therapy medication cpn cat team the lot i do get back in a better place but for some reason thus time feels unusual i cant explan i dont have anyone that really listening people say she's bad again which makes me believe people dont understand i am a good listener and can help people with there problems but its different when its yourself thanks again x

Coping with anxiety is best when you know you're triggers. Understanding the things that set you off will help you be prepared and even prevent the anxiety. It is a very difficult thing to go through, I know, I dealt with it in a debilitating way for about 25 years. You can be free... believe in yourself and that you are stronger than you think. HUGS!

Thank you all so much this is the 1st time i have reached out as sometimes feel ashamed thank you all

This sounds just like what am going through, I've never told anyone of what I go through... Not doctors or therapist or loved ones... Ive just tried to get through it myself... I've got to point where I understand I can't beat it on my own any more... I need help I need advice.... Hoping to gain some understanding and help from DS.
