However, such feelings that linger over time and are very difficult to cope with, and which lack a clear cause, may indicate...
so I watched this video on YouTube called mindfulness meditation it really helps anxiety because it helps you observe and not judge your own thoughts or just observe your own self. Interesting!!! I am going to try this more. I have been a mess lately and definitely needed this tool. My coworkers mentioned it lol

The best antidepressant is when my wishes are honored. An example, the faucet in my apartment was running although the knobs were turned shut all the way, and one of the pulling strings on my ceiling fan came off. As soon as I notified my maintenance man, he was quick to reply with the work order. RAPID response... he's getting my services around my apartment done. I appreciate my landlord and...

Hello,so I'm currently in a weird relationship with my long distance ex who I've never met in person and it's taking a toll on me. I've lost 15 pounds and lost my appetite, but I'm really attached to him. We've had a lot of problems and I think that has caused me to gain severe anxiety.

Most (about 99%) anxiety issues are all made up in your brain being stuck on fight or flight mode (a primitive survival tactic).
It's a matter of rewiring your brain....breaking negative thinking/self talk.
I meditate and practice mindfulness daily. I also make sure I eat, drink plenty of water, exercise, and get outside every day!
The is something that is a must to overcome anxiety of any kind. I suffered for 50 years.....but found my way out by working on it EVERY day.....all day long!
It takes a lot of work....but it is worth it to be med and anxiety free.
Anxiety tries to sneak back in, but I recognize it and deal with it immediately......and voila.....gone!
I don't try to fight it......I go with it and after recognizing it......I laugh it off and recognize that I need to focus on something else or meditate. Usually turning on some of my favorite music or a funny TV show/movie......or some other enjoyable distraction such as taking a walk......feeding and watching the birds is very helpful.
Guided meditations are helpful in quieting the chatter and help keep me directed.
Just remember.....your brain created the anxiety and your brain can cure it too :)
