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...
Like a Year ago, My friend asked me post myself playing guitar, Her brother who has mental issues has alway's thought I was his little brother (Doesen't have one) Atleat he has a little sister.
Her brother has always wanted things of mine and want's me to look up to him, I think he has alway's wanted someone he could explain how thing's work to.....I used to go over their house when I was younger, And he doesen't even understand some stuff, So, when I tryed to explain thing's to him, He would get VERY angry.....Because, he thinks....He's older then me he should t Know more then me.
I know it's very frustating to think.....Your older, You should know know more then the other person.......People Younger then me Even to explain stuff to me.....I have A Learning disability, So does he.
But, the stuff I understand, thad he didn't, I would explain and he would get upset.
Now, I'm Thinking trying to get over this anxiety (if it is just anxiety) By actually posting.....But, everytime I tell myself That You can do it You have nothing to worry about I think about if his sister show's the posting to him, he might get really upset, Also, He's alway's thought "I'm suppused play a musical inturment, But You can't, You have to be jealous of me" (sorry if that part, or any of this sound's childish)
And The family used to come over from time to time, He would pick up something of miine, Which is alright he can have it, (cause his Father got me a job these are the kind of people who don't want anything in return for their kindness, and I respect that) then his Father would say "oh no that's David's" And he would pout And even goes as far as using my Mother to give him what he want's
So, By now I'm scared of the guy.
Don't know what to do
Thank You for Listeing.....I'm sorry to go on about this.....It's just that i'm goiing to the shore for a few moth's tomorrow, And, I just can't keep thinking about it.

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!

Ever since I stopped doing therapy because of insurance, I've been feeling that old tense and irritable sense of anxiety and stress. I hate that. I was making so many strides and changes during therapy, my therapist would acknowledge all of my progress and accomplishments, and I miss that reassurance. Today I thought about it, and I made those changes! She would always tell me that I chose to...
If you do not want him to see anything by accident, then do not post on public social media what you want to share. Post privately, or keep it general on social media.
Your fear of him is something you have to work out in a positive way to allow you the freedom to do for yourself in the way you want to express yourself. Work out how you want to handle him-keeping your distance, limiting your time with him in all directions, It's not your problem what he does. You are responsible for what you say, do, react, and respond. If he wants what is yours, that is wrong. If he wants to say he's better than you because he's older, that's his problem, his opinion. You do NOT have to respond and explain, Say something general, change the subject and move on.
Take time to know your strengths, and use them to build your confidence in keeping your balance to calm.
You can do this!
Keep venting, Guitar Man. Your answers are in there.

I don't think he really want's anything from me, He just likes to gloat.......like he think's a big brother does. It's not possessions I'm worried about, it's the gloating and the shaming, It's how the parent's let him go about thing's, They pretty much let him get away with whatever he want's, NO CONCIQUINSES for his action's.
I think The parent's feel bad, they couldn't give him a little brother....They shouldn't feel bad, it's not their Fult....;...atleast he has a little sister.......Some people don't even have that'
But, I guess in his mind, everyone should have a complete family (a few brother's and sister's) For him to tease, I think the parent's told him he doesn't have a brother.....He just can't except it........So, in his mind ( we haven't seen eachother in a while) But I'm afraid everything's gonna come back to him.
I never felt like I tell his parent's this......and i've known them for about 40's, I don't even know You, and I feel comfortable enough to tell You about.......guess You can "Always depend on the kindness of strangers"
But let’s say you do post a video of yourself playing guitar and he happens to see it, And he gets upset. Is the concern he will post something humiliating on your FB page? Or just simply this fear of upsetting him?
Also, He is VERY confused between "what's mine is Yours Yours is mine" And "if it's important to You, it's Important to me" him saying......it's important to You, So, I'm gonna have to have it
He'll make me give him something of great value, And, he'll give me something like......a drawing he might have done, Of no value
They are VERY religious, and I think he way be confused with scripture.....That Jesus told the rich man to give everything up, and he will have riches in heaven, And The summon on the mount (sorry to get all religious on You)
Also, the prodical son got everything handed to him.
So, alot of confusion is going on.
Why can't people just be happy for other people, Without wanting something of theirs....
Him getting upset is not your issue to concern yourself with or to own or to solve. Let yourself off the hook.
What is the worst thing that can happen TO YOU if he gets upset? He can’t literally have whatever is yours that he desires, and he can’t make you do anything, really, so he has no actual power over you. Just trying to reason it out a bit. It sounds like you allow him to get in your head a bit. Remember, he’s not in charge of you. You are in charge of you. If he gets upset so be it. He will recover. You will be ok too.
Also, i was on here before, I'd say a month ago about growing up with his sister and the family, And was told i was experiencing PTSD.....and that I should join a PTSD group on DS, That group doesn't seen to be active, So if I could ask You, Does PTSD have anything to do sleep and anxiety? Cause I've been getting up Very early lately.....Like this morning it was a few mins after 6 and I'll Want to get up earlier, But try to make self stay in bed. So is PTSD Associated with anxiety?
I do think it’s possible to have post traumatic stress type responses to things, where you may not officially have PTSD but rather had a traumatic event that kicks up a lot of emotional, intense stuff.
I think any kind of anxiety can affect sleep.
I know plenty of people who are not disabled who let other people get in their head. So you for sure aren’t alone in that.
It seems like that's the general feeling with mental illness.
I feel like just ripping into my friend about this,
as I have been rehersing everthing I feel like saying in my mind, even if it costs me a friendship, cause, this go on for another 20-2yr's-30yr's, Him trying dominate and deminish me everytime we see eachother
