I Need Help

I am currently in counseling for depression and anxiety. My anxiety has affected my life through my relationship with my wonderful girlfriend and my job. I read a lot-books, articles, posts; the inspiration is there. However a lot of the time, when alone, I just cry-afraid to lose my gf whom I love so very dearly & my job. I am a good guy with struggles. Any suggestions are welcome.

I’m literally going through the same thing. Just know you aren’t alone in your struggles. I’m sorry I’m not much help but I’m here to listen.

Welcome to the anxiety board at DS.

You've taken the important first step in writing it out.

The key to finding calm is to keep writing everything out, sorting out the words, thoughts, emotions, feelings, and the surroundings. Your goal is to use anxiety as the helper it is set up to be for your better balance.

Your goal is to improve the positive words and choices to help you remain calm and better balance.

Hey! Welcome. I go through the same thing. It is really hard, I agree with Mid- writing it out. You are able to visually see how you are feeling. I, too, read a lot of articles, books, etc. Yes, the inspiration is there! You just need to find something that you are comfortable with and try it. You have to find your zen. I am in therapy, take meds, meditate and do yoga daily, and listen to a lot of audio books on other cultures wellbeing customs; such as Ikigai, Hygge, Fika, etc. I am still struggling like crazy, but continue to work on self-low and a better wellbeing. We are always here to help and listen… take care!

I thank each of you for replying! It does help-every word, every encouraging statement. Each of us can and will overcome our anxiety. We are in this together, and we will win together! I have found my greatest source for comfort is my faith and reading Scripture. I will add more later. I wish each of you a good/better day. Just being here and connecting shows me that there will be better days!

Hello Manny. Welcome back. I snuck a peek at your first journal under your new profile.

My strongest suggestion is don't give up your therapy support network just when you need it the most. Your journal sounds like you've been hoeing a rough row since you left. Steadying support while you find your way out.

Welcome back.

Thank you. I will continue my counseling sessions until I can greatly reduce my anxiety issues.

    I haven't written in my diary on my computer since May because I thought that my computer was dying.  I got away from writing but my computer is hanging in there.  I think that I will start writing in it again.  It's so therapeutic.

    Reality Check

    Years ago, I won a mirrored armoire from my job.  It's in my bedroom but I rarely stand in front of it.  Yesterday, I had to have a dexascan done so I had to change into a gown.  There was a full length mirror in the changing room.  I'm aware that I gained 5 to 7 pounds over the last year from cheating on Keto but I didn't know what it looked like.  It was a reality check.
