I am feeling like you. You are not alone. It's scary isn't it.? I feel your pain. You can private message me anytime . I am on this site for support from others who know what it feels like. I try to do positives be things but they aren't helping. People on this site have strategies but if you want reassurance I am here. Hugs

Thank you for your response. I just had to reach out to find someone else who could understand. Yes it is scary, very scary. I take meds and have for more than 10 years but seems I may need an adjustment.

You are most definitely not alone. I have suffered from anxiety for as long as I can remember, some times it's worse then others. I have tried to hide my anxiety but it is to the point that I can't hide it anymore, it is consuming my life. My husband though I know he loves me, doesn't understand how I feel or what I go though. I hope that we will all find the help and support we need though this group. Best wishes and hugs.

Get tested for the MTHFR gene mutation. You've had it all your life, and your daughter has it. You may well have a genetic mutation which interferes with absorption of some vitamin Bs and can, in some sufferers, lead to lifelong anxiety seemingly without cause.

Is have been test yes I do have the MTHFR gene. I take 28 meds a day for all the health issues I suffer from. I have autoimmune diseases and some sort of genetic heart disease and something about my DNA is breaking. They also think I have lupus and MS. Seems like i suffer more from anxiety than anything else tho. I can't even him to church anymore because of it. I get so tired of hiding in my house. I am blessed to have a job I do from home so I can at least still work.

Lovingladyo you are so correct. I have been seeing a hloisgic doctor since January 19th of this year she had has helped make a positive difference in my life. I do see a Christian counselor 2x a week and yes niacin is very helpful. I suffer with digestive issues such as celiac and multiple food allergies so my diet has been closely monitored and altered periodically for years. Food makes more of a difference than you realize. Thank you so very much for your post.

Take a moment to understand that anxiety is natural. How you process it is simple to understand once you know how it works in you. Stay hydrated, use gentle movements to loosen tensed muscles, and give yourself a positive plan of action every day with a kind word, thought, image to yourself. You are not alone.

How are you feeling now?

Beachshore thank you for asking that. Yesterday was a very good day considering it was the 9th anniversary of my father's death. I processed my emotions verybwell amd had only one attack. And this morning my husband is going back to work in I'm glad to say I am not feeling anxious about it. Praying for a good day for us all.

Hi I've literally just joined this site so I'm not quite sure what I'm doing so bare with me lol. You are deffinatly not alone with how you feel with your anxiety. I've had it since I can remember and at times I to feel so lonely yet theres so many people around me that are supporting me. I got diagnosed with Aspergers symdrome when I was 17 years old after leaving school because I was bullied because I could never fit in and I was a easy target. I knew from a young age that I wasn't like all my friends I knew I was a little different. I moved out when I was 19 years old into my own little home where I noticed my anxiety, depression and aspergers was all joining into one big outburst. I didn't know what to do or where to turn. I've always been super close with my mom and nannan so they support me at all times but my brother, dad and my grandad don't believe in mental health they think it's not "real". At first it really did bother me but I soon got over it because they slowly understood how I was in certain situations. I don't work but I do voluntary work with young adults with Special Needs and that helps me as staff can understand me on my bad days. But no matter how many people are around me i still feel so alone..... so useless.... i even feel like i shouldnt be here at times. Sorry for the life story but I really do understand where you are coming from... I easily have 10 panic attacks a day, i dont go out on my own unless im with someone else like my boyfriend, friend or family member so this is why i have joined this group to see if it can help me and also that i am here for others too. Your not alone. xxxx

BeccyBoo it pains my heart to see you feel as though you shouldn't be here at times. Forgive me if this offends you I am a strong believer in Jesus Christ and I feel He creates us all with a purpose. You are perfectly and wonderfully made. You as well as a lot of us struggle daily to overcome anxiety. Your life story will help many people. Today just reading it made me feel less embarrassed by the fact I cant go to stores alone as I see someone else is the same way. Never feel you weren't meant to be. The struggles you face will make you able to help someone else. God Bless you. Prayers that you have a good day.
