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.

Hello,


I'me new to the group so i will give you some information about myself,


I'me 49,currently married with one son and one stepson.


I get so low and i dont know where to turn or what to do. I have no confidence in myself anymore,just feel like a great big useless lump of worthwhile nothing. I have no friends or social life,the farthest i go is to the supermarket each day. I feel like i dont deserve to be happy.


I try my best to do whats right for my family,but not for myself . I lack motivation,and i just dont know what to do anymore.


I get angry with eveyone around me but mostly with myself.

You have the beginnings of depression along with anxiety. Go to your doctor and discuss these issues. Therapy and meds sound like they are in order. They worked for me, good luck my friend.

When you see your doctor, perhaps you can ask him/ her about menopause. What you described could be signs of menopause. I have had some of those moments too. I try to exercise daily, listen to praise & worship songs and keep myself occupied so I would not allow my mind to entertain lies about me being useless or worthless. Hang in there. I pray you will rise above and get through this.

Stay hydrated. Keep your market trips in a journal and use those to balance your normal level. This will help you in healing the depression and anxiety to get back to a normal range.

Sometimes, just writing it out releases the feelings enough that we can heal them.

Best wishes and hope your doctor's visit goes well!

I am 53 and menopausal and going through some of that, too. Exercising helps me a lot. I have to go to work everyday, but most days, I would prefer to stay home. This is not normal for me, but I started a low dose of antidepressant (celexa) and it is helping me with my anxiety. I wish I could go without the meds, but I tend to have no tolerance for anything and I am overly sensitive to everything. I have always been an anxious person, but now I am doing so much better.

    I did the dumbest thing today.  I charged my earbuds, unplugged the block and put the block in my little bag instead of the earbuds.  I wasn't happy about that when I got to the gym.  What a dummy!
