Scared

Lately I've been feeling scared and full of anxiety. I recently found a lump under my nipple. I hurt my back too. I'm in the process of moving. I'm run down. Everything is hard

Hugs! Lots of slow deep breaths! Do you know DBT at all?

Dialeticalbehavior therapy. It changed my life, I went from being severely depressed always for over 20 years until I did the DBT program and did the graduate group at the mental health center too where I live. There are a lot of websites about it and YouTube videos. Teachers you how to manage emotions and control how you respond more. I still struggle some with it but not nearly like I did.

hello northern. welcome to the forum. sorry for what brings you here but glad you are here.

moving, all by itself, is enough to bring out my psycho demons. processing all the changes is anxiety city, even when i love and want the changes. even then, there are always proverbial snakes in the grass.

anxiety management is what helps me navigate the stresses. don't accuse me of experting, but i do believe DBT is listed highly on the list of anxiety management tools.

and then there is us. we can provide some of the support it takes to get through.

welcome aboard.

I agree, moving is one of the most stressful things in life. Seldom do things go as planned. This alone causes anxiety. Along with your health issues, of course you are not at your best. Try the suggestions mentioned here. Deep breathing, yoga, listening to music. Take time to treat yourself well. Sending good vibes your way

    I know my mommy is no longer suffering in this life. But sometimes I feel like i killed her. The doctors explained how her organs had shut down and once the life support was removed the body would completely stop functioning.

    I wish my anxiety woulg go away. I'm feeling less in control so I know that has me feeling more on edge. I cut back my work days from 4 to 5 but that makes me nervous about money. I'm just so tired of worrying but can't stop. Of course chronic pain worsens with anxiety.
