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.

To much anxiety feels like I'm losing control.

I'm new to this site and in desperate need to vent about how i had finally gotten an anxiety to a place when i could cope and now with covid 19 and being stuck in the house. Especially with my step dad I feel out if control and like I'm slowing losing my mind. Which is only making my anxiety worse. I'm trying not to lose control or my temper but as time goes on it's not getting any easier only worse.

I know the feeling. Not only is it lonely but the stress is high. I pray we see the light at the end of the tunnel soon.

Welcome to Daily Strength. This is a good site to rant and to get feedback.

Do you have a psychiatrist or a therapist to talk over your concerns. I know for me my therapist has helped me deal with my anxiety. If you do not have these docs, I would consider it strongly.

How is your anxiety over the covid manifesting? I might be able to help there.

Good advice from Thor2008. Therapists can help you understand anxiety and expand your coping skills. I find it helpful to call a friend, journal my thoughts and challenge them, meditate or find something to do that makes me happy like listening to calming music or playing the flute.

I hope you can find peace.

Thank you. Yes I have a psychiatrist as well as a therapist. I see my therapist once a week. And was working on things to deal with my PTSD as well as my anxiety but now with all the covid going on we only have maybe a 20 min phone conversation. As far as my anxiety with covid it's ok I guess. Could be better.

You are responsible for what you say, you do, how you react, how you respond, and when you find your well-being and how you want to feel, that's your balance.

Keeping a journal, venting here, and working out what calms you naturally will help you as you find your way to a new balance.

And rather than look at it as "stuck in house", instead appreciate you have a roof over your head, a space that you can relax and chill in, and things you are able to do in this space.

Make time to go outside and observe nature.

Best wishes. You are not alone. Welcome to the anxiety board at DS.
