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...

lately my mind has been in constant motion. I feel like the only time I get a sense of relief is when i'm asleep but lately I can't even get that due to vivid dreams that feel too real. I can't remember the last time I laughed for real or felt genuinely happy with myself. I feel like I need help but I don't want to get help because I feel like if I do I will feel even more crazy that I already do. Does anyone else feel this way..?

Yes, i have even tried help. Many different therapist but none seem to get it. They don't make you feel crazy but if you find the right one to be more of an understanding friend it would probably work out great to you. I suggest getting help, or at least trying. Remember you don't have to stay with the first person you meet. I hope I may have helped or at least givin a sense of understanding,i i know how you feel and I'm here for you!

Yes. It's very difficult, there many simple things I want to do but my mind is such a chaos that I can't never get to do them. I wish I had a solution for you, I don't know the answer either. But know that you are not the only one.

No matter how shitty you feel, it doesn't mean you're crazy, or if you'do rather see it from a better point of view, it doesn't mean that anyone around you is saner than you are. We're all a bit crazy, some more than others. I can relate to finding it hard to laugh and be happy for real and not being happy with yourself. Sometimes it takes a while to find the little things that can change how we feel. Also, help comes in many shapes and forms, you're reaching out here and all the different people might be able to help you in different ways. I'm always just a message away if you feel like talking to someone and I don't sleep much due to nightmares so I'm up most hours.

Take a moment to look at yourself in the mirror and give yourself one positive image, smile, grin, and put this image in your head every time you feel less comfortable. Sometimes, it takes smiling to help release the tension so you can relax a bit. When it comes to dreaming, sometimes writing it out helps sort out everything, and give you a moment to relax as well. You are not alone. Best wishes.

    Reality Check

    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.
