Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread.

Hello,



I am new here and am looking to find ways to better myself. I have been dealing with depression and anxiety my entire life and last weekened had one of the worst panic attacks I have ever had. I worry about everything and need to make sure I dont mess things up. My other half witnessed my panic attack and was there for me but is now very distant and couldnt look,talk, or touch me. I think I scared him very much but am now dealing with my end of things, my fathers recent death, and the non verbal shutting down boyfriend that distances his self when bigger things happen. I need help with all of this and more and dont know what else to do.

Welcome to the anxiety board at DS.

You are writing it out. The more you write it out, the easier it is sort the thoughts and make a plan that works for you to find your calm.

I am so sorry you are going through a rough time. You are not alone. I have been in your shoes before. Maybe it's a good time to talk with your other half about what you're going through so that he can better understand your situation. I'm sorry for the loss of your father. My father has passed away as well. That can be a life-changing situation. Have you ever thought about talking to a counselor? Doing that has tremendously helped me in my life. Hugs to you...things will get better in time. Just take things one day at a time!

    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.
