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...

I have WAY too much going on right now. 


As you all know tomorrow is fathers day. my dad left me when i was little. Recently i found out he might not even be my REAL dad.


On june 16th of 2018 (also tomorrow) i had to call the polic on my best friend. he was sending me murder threats. it was a very scary moment in my life and tbh i am STILL having a VERY HARD TIME with it. I havent seen him in a whole year. 


I had a HUGE fight with my close friend. he thinks im worthless, and that i am i crappy person.... it hurts to hear that from smeone you love so dearly...


Im having a hard time fitting in with the kids i know. Its like im trying to mold myself into who they are and what they like that i have forgtten who I am.


On top of this my parents (mom and stepdad) just split up. My whole life is about to change. My mom has to get a job, and this means i will be a babysitter all of the time... and have NO FREE TIME. im not complaning... Im just being real. I dont mind helping. but its nice to have my own time.

If you are not complaining, RM, I will happily complain for you while reserving the right to get colorful in the cussing attached. Why does all this hard stuff have to come all at one time?!?!?!?!? Can't these uglies take a number and stand in line until their number is called!?!?!?!?!? One at a time, morons!

Sometimes venting and/or complaining helps. Vent freely here, RM. Vent often.

I honestly dont know what to say.... I want to scream and yell, but I cant. I feel like I dont have the strength to be angry. I feel like im drifting away from my body. like im always on the verge of tears but I can never really get them out.... I want to give up sometimes. by this I dont mean suicide. I just want to lay in bed and not move. I want to stop going to the places I have to go. I want to stop talking to friends who dont even care about me. I want to be noticed! I want to be loved! I want to be WANTED.

Finding a place to give in to that impulse to scream and yell really did/does help me, as do anger channels, such as beating on a pillow and vigorous physical workouts. Channeling my anger works allot better than repressing it, especially when I have every right to be pissed. Repressing my anger and grief are where I start getting that feeling that I am drifting away from my body. For what it's worth, my shrinks call that, "Dissociation." It is NOT a good thing.

I hate it when life is no fucking fair, but it keeps happening, no matter how much I hate on it. Knowing my therapy support network is here for me helps me get by with a little help from my friends.

We are here for you, RM. Still listening. . .

I'm sorry you have so many difficult circumstances. It's good to have some coping methods that help you in these times of your life. Some people write in a journal, meditate, or listen to relaxing music. I hope you can find some coping methods that are comforting.

Your friend might have had a psychotic break. My friend called me when we were in our 20s and wanted to come stay with me. I said no. She said she
would sleep on the floor. She had to get away from home because her mother
was trying to kill her. She ended up in a Mental Hospital. The doctors helped
her and she was normal again after she got out.
Remember to take time for yourself. Even if you have to babysit and do more
at home. Early in the morning or later at night whenever you can find a bit of time. It's real important.

Have you ever read Rick Warren's "Purpose Driven Life?" It may be encouraging to you. You don't need to fit in. You were born to be YOU. And while things seem to be falling apart and spinning out of control, you have to trust it will all be ok. It's ok to cry, yell, and scream... Or don't. Be angry for awhile. It is all a part of grieving. You have lost a father, as well as father-figure. You have lost a close friend. You have NOT lost you.... Deep down. Remember your passions, what you love, things that come naturally to you. Emerse yourself in those when you can. You have a great purpose in life. This road you're on is leading you through some darkness, but light will come.

    Jay's podcasts are really good.  I watch them on YouTube for free.  Today, I watched his video about motivation.  In fact, I've been watching a few videos on this subject.  Jay gave us an assignment to complete the following sentence:  I am stuck because?  I don't describe myself as stuck, but to finish the sentence, I would say that I am stuck because I am tired.  When I have energy, I do...
