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 have a mild anxiety disorder that causes me to sweat uncontrollably. Confrontation sends me into panick attacks and I hate it. I inherited all of my mothers health problems [depression, bipolar, anxiety, allergies to just about everything]. My parents expect too much from me which doesn't help my anxiety problem, and all I can do is let them down. I wish I could get rid of the anxiety but my parents don't believe in prescribing these kinds of medications to teenagers. She doesn't understand how much I suffer because she doesn't want me to experience a few side affects. She doesn't see all the pain I go through. She doesn't see the things that go on in my bedroom when the door is closed. She doesn't see how much I cry, and hyperventilate. She doesn't watch me bleed. She doesn't read the morbid poems I write in my diary that speak only of death. She doesn't see the cuts and scars up and down my legs and arms. She doesn't know what I'm going through...And I don't want her to. I don't want her to think I'm crazy, and I don't want her to commit me. I don't want her to call me a whore.
I just want her to trust me again. I just want her to love me and accept me for who I am and who I will always be.
Help?...

Sorry you are going through this honey. Can you reach out to someone besides your parents to get help? A clergy person or a school counselor. Maybe they can explain how serious this is to your parents, or get you into counseling without your parents even knowing about it. Maybe there is an adult friend or family member you can confide in? You should not have t suffer this way. Please keep visiting this board. we are all willing to help you

I don't even know who to turn to...
I'd like to talk to my school councelor, but my anxiety is holding me back. I'm pretty sure if I stepped foot in her office I'd go into a fit. My parents are suppossed to be getting me a psychiatrist. Correction. My parents WERE supoossed to be getting me a psychiatrist. Like two months ago. So I took it upon myself to find one. I'm kind of scared though... What's it like to go to a psychiatrist?

Im so sorry that you have to go through this alone. I so would go to a psychiatrist. Isn't so bad. I am 32 soon to be 33 years old and I am just now getting help. I wish I had gotten help sooner. The sooner you get help better it will get. I have a 18 year niece who went through what your going through now. She is getting help at hospital right now. Do what is best for you. I would hope your parants would want the help for you. I was just scared and I didn't want to disappoint my parants. That is why I waited so long. Suzziea

Go to the psychiatrist. Everyone on this site knows I was dreading it for a long time. It took all my courage to go back to therapy. I went last week and I felt a lot better. Basically the shrink asks you questions about yourself, your life and if you answer honestly they offer suggestions to help your situation. Or they ask you questions that make you question the way you may have reacted to a situation. The best thing about it for me is sometimes I have tunnel vision and can only see things my negative way...I cannot see any other side to a situation. The shrink can help you see all sides, alternate ways to deal with things. I highly recommend you go. I think it would be very helpful to you. School councelors are there to help you. Make an appt with her and go and explain you need help getting to see a therapist. She will help you.

It takes alot of courage for you to write your feelings on here and reach out. You have the courage in you to reach out to a professional too, you just don't realize it yet. I am 35 and have suffered my entire life, living in denial. You are not in denial and that is positive. Even if it takes many attempts to go thru with talking to someone...keep trying. We only fail when we stop trying and give up. Don't give up sweetie! You sound like a great girl who needs someone to talk to. This site is great for that. Keep checking back with us!

    I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

    A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
