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 I am Koyu and joined this group because I realized that I live in state of constant fear and anxiety most of the time. There are times I become so anxious and stressed that sometimes I just want to jump off the train platform. Of course, I won't but I just hate myself when I ask the same question over and over again or when I am nervous.

I went to the dentist today and I apologized because I was mentioning that i had a cavity over and over again. It is so frustrating to be anxious all the time. I know my mind is calm and telling me to not worry but I worry and I get stressed.

Thank you for this group. I hope one of these days I will learn to be more calm and open.

Take care, Koyu

Welcome to this group! You'll be able to make changes as you work through the moments.

Thank you both. I am glad I found this group.

Have a Happy Christmas.

I shared with someone on here yesterday about singing Let it Go! Let it Go! Let it Go! (to the tune of Let it Snow! Let it Snow! Let it Snow!) whenever I start to get anxious about something, especially when I get anxious about something I can’t control. As silly as it sounds, the more I do that, sing it over and over in my head, the less anxious I become. Try it! Or come up with something else that will work for you. I think I’m learning that I have to replace the anxious feeling with something else in order for it to go away. Let me know if you come up with something that works for you!

Welcome! I am going through exactly what you are and unable to understand this thinking pattern! I just want it to stop, ya know? I try to remind myself it is just stress and nerves playing mind games with me, and remember there is a light at the end!

Thank you all for welcoming me to the group. bellabuck, I am going to try today. I was trying to walk it off but went through the "I wish I was not me" or " I hate myself" scenario. I guess I have to replace my mind with something other than negative thoughts.

Thank you all for sharing that there is hope. I needed to hear that.
Hugs,Koyu

Welcome! One thing that has helped me with my GAD and anxiety is to tell the people around me. It takes so much pressure off of me - the pressure to hide my anxious feelings. I've told my dentist in advance I have anxiety and I am feeling anxious. That let's them know to be more caring/understanding. I hid my anxiety for so many years and now I have no problem telling anyone.

Thank you for sharing. Years ago I shared with a friend that I was worried about my physical and he said I had too much time on my hands. After that I kind of put walls around me and not mention but lately it is getting too much. I had a panic attack a couple of days ago because my retainer broke in my mouth and made such a huge noise that I thought I broke my tooth. And because it is the holiday season, my dentist is off which makes me more anxious.

I am trying "Let it go let it go" and breathing when I have a panic attack. It is frustrating.

Thank you for letting me share that.

Hugs,Koyu

I'm sorry your friend wasn't more supportive. Sometimes people don't know how to respond. Please don't put up a wall. Everyone is different. I bet you'd be surprised to learn more people you know are going through the same thing. Most people thing I'm so calm and confident when inside I am a bundle of nerves. You never know another person's struggles. I hope you start to feel better soon.

Thank you. Sorry I am downer.

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.
