I am pretty sure we all have felt this way. I have been having this since I was 32 on and off. actually I keep coming here because I know no one will understand be better. talk to others, that helps. talk to yourself. fight to focus on your rational arguments. see if you can see your fears and anxious thoughts for the misrepresentation that they are. something mischievous trying to wear you down. hold yourself with love and assure yourself as I assure you. everything is going to be ok.

I just feel like I can't do this anymore like I want the old me back Iv always had depression from a very young age but I never had anxity until I 3 years ago an I feel like day by day it's tearing away at me an I'm not in control

Hey Samiiex,

I can feel where you are coming from. I have been living with anxiety for 10 years now and it is not easy. It can for sure mess with your self esteem and self confidence. Just know that you are not alone and there are ways to better the symptoms and control yourself. This is not about anxiety or an outside force, this is all in you. What you put in you is very important. Try this, don't drink soda or ingest sugar. Do not drink coffee or alcohol. Eat food that is healthy. Take multivitamins and rest when possible. Practice meditation and also practice a physical sport like Boxing or Muay thai. This seems like a lot of changes but believe me, your change in life style will bring about changes.

For meditation go on youtube and search "guided meditation to rid anxiety" and work at it. Be patient and know you won't be a master if you try it only once. Keep at it. Go see a counselor and talk to them. Reach out for help and you will receive help. Again, all this will take time but you will feel better because you are taking charge.

Thankyou so much I will try all of that x

I want u to know that u can and will break out of your own head! When you are in in so deep you feel like you will never come to the surface but you will! I promise! Unfortunately everyone has there own pace. I have battled severe anxiety and panic disorder since the age of 19 and I'm 35 now. There was a time it was at bay for a lot of years and then I had my first child and all hell broke loose. I'm not gonna go int much detail cause it would be a book but it took over a year for me to recover and I thought three was no hope, god is good and I fought hard! I still have a few triggers but can control it. U can do this I promise

Thankyou so much
