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...

Severe anxiety, loneliness, and no peace

I don't need any advice. I need real in-person friends but that may not be possible. My anxiety has been getting worse over the last few days and nothing has alleviated it. The only way I can get any rest is if I take 35mg of Benedryl at night. But I have been waking up within a few hours and feeling like crap the next day. Meditation leaves me more lightheaded and nauseous. Taking walks leaves me more empty time to ruminate. I have no attention span. I can't eat. I can't focus. It's been impossible the last few days. I am just over everything. I have no really close friends and I think that is contributing. The friends whom I thought were friends haven't been there hardly at all. My fiancé broke up with me recently and I have been alone. This page is great and I appreciate a space to vent but it is not giving me what I need, which are in-person relationships. My shoulders are burning with anxiety.

Take a moment and look for places you can go to in your local area to be around other people.

It's hard when people are friendly friends-and so take the good of those friendly friends, and look elsewhere for people to at least talk with in different places.

When you feel less than 100%, focus on the part that does feel the best.

Best wishes as you find your better balance.

Gentle empathy, Betta. On-line support has its merits, but sometimes a body needs a flesh and blood shoulder to lean on. 6 months, with promises of more isolation on the horizon is allot to take.

I miss my live support at least as much as I miss indecently exposed smiles.

I am feeling down myself because there is so much going on in my life with family, no friends the friends we had are either dead or moved away. I have a mother who is suffering with depression, loneliness, and serious anxiety. The doctors are frustrated with her. A lady from the hospital (I think it was a social worker), she shared with my mother that she had spoke with the head of the emergency doctor. He said that he did not want my mother to return back to the hospital for just pain in her back, severe pain in the back is not considered a good reason to go into the emergency. That message has my mother in a serious depression and anxiety.

I had a rough night last night. Anxiety sucks. Sometimes the best we can do is just breathe and take it moment by moment xoxoxo

    Just wanted to give a thank you to Mid, Arfie, Malibumark, Greeneyes, Mlro, Girlincalif, and Suncloudjd! You all always have such helpful tips and advice, but I always forget to write on my posts when I see you post, lol. I would lose my head if it wasn't attached to my body, lol. Thank you all so much! I'm starting to use my AI app as a sounding board again. I used to use it as that before...
