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...
Hi there everyone,
This is my first time doing something like this but I thought it may be a good idea for some support. I am 25 years old and I have dealt with generalized anxiety my entire life. I had it under control at some points in my life with therapy and medication. However, this past month has been hell for me. I have developed monophobia (fear of being alone) and it is affecting my life in all aspects. My family is supportive but they are starting to get overwhelmed with my ongoing attacks, I can't focus on my job, my relationships are crumbling. Today, my mother actually flew out internationally to visit her sick father. I will be home alone (I work from home) for a week. She left 6 hours ago and I have already took 2 xanax's today. I feel so alone because I have never heard of anyone having a fear like mine. Currently, I am seeing a psychiatrist and I started on Prozac 40 mg (only on day 7) and 0.25mg xanax as needed (my psychiatrist knows my mom was leaving so she gave me some xanax-thank god). I also have been seeing counseling and that helped me temporarily. Recently, I did an intake at my hospital to join an Intensive Outpatient Program. I am waiting on a call back from them so I can start my 12 weeks. I just could use some friends here that can relate to me and maybe offer some kind words. Its about to be night time and thats going to be scary for me to sleep in a quiet dark home.
I look forward to hearing from you guys,
Thank you!

Welcome aboard. Hope you find healing companionship here.
For instance, I noticed smoking messes up my blood pressure and makes my mind believe that I'm about to get a heart attack any second so I switched over to vaping and focus myself on making rings and shapes with the smoke. I buy my equipment and juices from an eliquid wholesale distributor which goes by the name of iBliss. (https://iblissvapor.com/ ) Btw, don't even try vaping if you haven't smoked before- better not to do anything that smokes your lungs, a word of advice from a friendly smoking addict. Oops, let me rephrase that- vaping addict :)
I actually dont smoke or drink lol. Im like a grandma. I even cut out caffeine from my life. I do drink chamomile tea, that does comfort me.
