Anxiety all day,,,!,

Well it's 00.21am and I feel totally normal..calm...no unwanted negative thoughts or if they have passed my mind they have just faded away without even having to try. Most nights I feel like the day I had happened to somebody else.

I'm a mess most days. My head struggling and wondering if I will make it through. I'm frightened and either rushing around keeping busy to distract myself or  sitting with the anxiety trying to let it pass over me.

Will all this level out at some point? I mean why am I in such a state all day long and then feel at night like I was never ill.

I'm sat here now thinking that tomorrow I will cope but yet tomorrow comes and yes I get through it but I wouldn't say I cope.

I suppose I should think myself lucky that I'm managing to get some ok time. Is this a sign that my meds are working?

    Hi Gillian,

    I'm the same as you - struggle every single day, all day with pain, dizziness, horrible scary thoughts etc then by the evening (around 10pm) I feel totally normal, like I suddenly got over it all! Only for the next morning to wake up feeling absolutely terrible again! It's a nightmare. But if your like me and worry about illness or something being medically wrong, then this should put your mind at rest because if it was something serious, the symptoms wouldn't disappear! I'm not on any medications so maybe it's not the meds and you are just having rough days and good nights!

    Hope you feel better soon x

      I don't have health anxiety Charlotte although my anxiety did start because of a health issue.

      That has been resolved but I am still full of anxiety. It was like the health scare was the tip of the iceberg from months of stress. It probably could of been anything. Think I was holding on by a string with anxiety waiting in the wings,waiting for a vulnerable moment xx

      Thank you so much Amanda.

      I try to give support on my experience of anxiety/depression 13 years ago and how even then I felt I'd never return from the dark,scary place I was in. I did,stronger and better than ever....Even though I'm going through it again now and have them fears again,,it helps talking about that time because not only does it reassure others,it also reminds me that it is possible.

      I love helping and feeling that just maybe I helped somebody through a bad moment.

      Thats why I love it here. We all get and we all want to help xx

    I am like that.  A total mess in the mornings, and by the evening I feel no anxiety at all.  It must be something to do with our bodies, but don't know what.  A mystery to me.  I am not on meds though.

      Your doing great Anne. Better than the majority of us if you are getting by without medication.

      I do hope you make a speedy recovery.xx

    It took a month and a half for my SSRI to kick in. It was hard to be patient with the wait. Also I would have anxiety during the day and it would somewhat vanish at night. For me, everything is so quiet at nite and no rushing around. I pick up on other peoples moods and make them my own sometimes. I'm very empathic. Maybe you are too?

    good luck and have a nice day💜

      Thank you Rose.

      Thats the hardest thing I'm struggling with right now. The only thing I feel is guilt....that I am not being all I should be. My son hasn't got his mum,yes I'm in the room but I may aswell be a million miles away. My mum and aunt are both going through some tough times and I want so much to be there for them,telling them it's gonna be ok but I don't have the strength. 

      I know I'm here chatting to you guys but it's different than being here having people depending on you,needing you and you can't.

      I am so preoccupied with how I feel that I find it hard to even sit long periods with them because I feel so detached.

      Its a long,hard road.......Wish it was the yellow brick road...I'd ask the wizard for a new brain smile

    Hi Gillian

    I know this is an old post but just wanted to know if you feel ok now?

    I started feeling nauseas and anxious 6 weeks ago it's really frightening. I wake up every morning with this anxious feeling and nausea it lasts all day. I can't eat as I have no appetite and even the smell of food makes me feel ill. The evenings are a little easier. I've been to the doctors several times for different tests and they say everything is normal, but I have convinced myself there is something wrong. I'm really struggling as I live alone I send all day in bed,
