General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another.

somtimes it just doesnt seem worth it. Ive been in this cycle of feeling depressed and worrying non stop about everything. Its like my brain is on a speed rap and I cant stop it. Im even waking up at 3 AM with all these thoughts flying through my head. I wish I could disconnect whatever it is in my brain that gets me so anxious. Anybody in this grouo who wants to be my friend please request as i'de love to have you all as friends and keep in touch. -chris

It isn't good to not have hope at all that you can't get rid of this. I spent years trying to deal with it on my own after doctors couldn't find the right meds. They made me believe that only the ssri's would cure it. You have to demand that any doc or psych try everything. I found that my docs were trying to push the most popular and newest meds on me and when I demanded it, my new psy put me on an old one that is not only a lot less expensive, but for the past 6 days since I started it (yes, that quick) I've slept at least 7-8 hours a night and have not had one P/A. I'm of course knocking on wood that this is the one and don't want to jinx it. Please don't give up. I'm glad I didn't.

Hang in there Chris. It's a tough battle, but you can learn new ways of reacting to your thoughts. I'm going through the same thing at the moment with anxiety so bad that I'm scared about losing my mental health.

I've just started Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and it seems to be helping already. Try writing down a journal/diary of your day and any anxious thoughts tthat you dwell on, then if you start CBT, you will learn ways to challenge the negative thoughts and look at things objectively.

It helps me so much just to get them out of my head and onto paper.

Keep fighting and you CAN change your life.

Feel free to add me as a friend if you like.

Regards,

Stu

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
