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...

Something? Or maybe nothing?

I have generalized anxiety disorder and social anxiety disorder, neither of which I've had too many problems with for a few weeks. Today though, I just have this feeling of dread in the pit of my stomach. This feeling of something being wrong. I don't know if I should trust my gut or not because maybe something is wrong, but then again, it could all be in my head- or stomach in this case. I just can'thelp but feel that there is something terribly wrong.

Writing it out is the best way to work through all the words left floating in your mind.

I would say try to figure out exactly when that feeling started--what was happening...who said what? etc to figure out what triggered you. definitely stay off news feeds and don't watch it on TV either. was someone talking about something that might have gotten you going? if nothing comes up-chalk it up to wandering free flowing anxiety. I get that sometimes.

Has this happened before and things have still been ok? Maybe it will again. It’s normal to ruminate sometimes, just don’t let it consume you. Good luck with it.

Well recently, I talked with a counselor about past family issues that used to go on. That might've caused some anxiety? I'm not sure. I've also been sleeping horribly. I take melatonin at night and I still manage to wake up 3-5 times during the night.

I'd say both of those are good reasons for anxiety to rise--I slept lousy last night and was a hot mess this morning!

I too think that way too. I always think that something is wrong with me or something is gonna happen to me. In the 6 years that I have anxiety nothing has happened. It's anxiety putting those thoughts in your head. Writing your feelings out and how your feeling helps. Family issues sure could of caused you anxiety. That and not sleeping will get your anxiety going. My sleeping is so broken every night. I'm a hot mess like how Hypergal said. Lol. Hope you get some sleep and try to distract your mind from thinking about negative thoughts. Good luck. Here's to good sleep and good thoughts.

I really would like to get a good night's sleep. Coffee has been my best friend lately. Well, more than it usually is.

    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!
