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...
I'm struggling with alot of anxiety right now. There are a number of things going on. First, I live in a personal care home for almost 3 years. I hate it. They control every aspect of my life: when to get up in the morning (6 AM every day), meal times, what is served (I had my upper teeth extracted so I buy my own food but I still have to pay rent which includes the food they serve, most of which I can't chew, and no, I don't want to eat pureed food), and when to go to bed (8 PM every night). They told me my room is designed to be a double, with a roommate. I want a single, due to having PTSD, I can't tolerate a roommate. The admin told me he'd call to see if any other personal carehomes in the area have a single available. But I'm pretty sure he hasn't done it. And I'm wondering if I'd rather have my own apt again, that way I could control my life. Problem is, I no longer have my car nor can I afford one, since I'm now on Social Security Disability. Transportation would be difficult. I just had a session with my therapist yesterday. I don't feel like she's helping me with my anxiety and maybe I should find another therapist. I'd really like group therapy, it helped me in the past but there are no groups in the area where I live now. I wonder if there are groups via telehealth. Also, I have a dr's appt on Friday and I'm scared because I have to take public transportation. I'm dreading it. I did arrange to have my psych meds prescribed via telehealth, which starts next week.

Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.

Taking public transportation will help you find your independence and better balance.
You are helping yourself to learn how to manage with the current situation, and you're making ways to change.
Best wishes.
Nobody here can make those rough decisions or cope with the harsh realities of your situation for you, but you have come to the right place for venting and sorting.
