Anxiety disorders and life problems associated

Hey. If by mental pain you mean the incessant barrage of turmoil associated with pretty much everything going wrong in your life, then yeah! I'm right there with you. Come to realise that anxiety plus depression has always controlled me, thus making me choose the complete wrong paths in my life, which in turn have created problem upon problem and battered my self worth. It's a vicious cycle that has been running for me for as long as I can remember. It's literally living hell. I don't know how I get up every day and do all the things I have to do. And I can't even remember a time where I lived without this gut wrenching pain in my stomach. On a positive, I'm still here and not many people know just how messed up I am! Only those who get too close and then run for the hills. Hurrah!

Sure. I am so scared all the time I take comfort in being able to tell someone who understands how I feel. Trapped in my own insane fearful World of anxiety.

hi im eddie and i have anxioty and would really like my teacher to understand that i cant do the tests i always fail because i cant breathe focus or feel my hands and feet. .                          why does life hate me

we all read posts and never fully understand the person behind them.. I think all people on here would be surprised by each other what I'm trying to say is open talk is hard but there is positivity to gain from knowing you can express.  World is tough with anxiety but some of the most inspirational people in the world have suffered from it, and it is true that there is a huge amount of honesty that worrying about the outcomes of scenarios that has excelled humanity. Understand this and when your crippling and want to turn off the hummmmmm,  keep some faith in future and the power that you actually do have!    Nobody will tell you how much you inspire them unless you have a job that gratifies it,  but people will remember odd comments you make easily and hold it with them.  I cripple a lot with this but I have had a lot people tell me simple words I have said have stuck and helped!   The power in this pain is,  the scenarios you have dealt with in your head is yet to be discovered by non worries.   I have had few years of ease and have respected my disorder,  citalopram and easing my life of actual burdens helped,  but the moments of clarity you have from inner confidence can hugely help in the down slopes!  Just me be hope there is someone else who see is that way!  

But you never visit anxiety sites when you are eased somewhat.  We all talk becouse we are struggling but it would be amazing if people revisit it during the good times!  Negativity is infectious as is positivity try to keep a handle on the ups and the downs,  that is balance! As hard as it is

The reason I started a group was To find like minded people who can see a littLe bit of positivity with this debilitating and painful condition.  I feel comfort in knowing that others feel this, but I also take pride in knowing there is benefits in the pain! If it was all negative there would be no reason,  but please people give us examples of positive actions.  There is no point in self help groups if we talk and ponder the worst! Anxiety is not known fully becouse the only help needed is when the pain is there! And relief is needed.   Please don't judge me incorrectly and not a real sufferer becouse I want people to express positivity in this subject,  I merely want the condition understood and have realised through my life that anxiety has led me to do some funny and crazy things and it needs to be embraced somewhat!   That I feel is where anxiety and depression can differ and that is what we all need to understand to be able to deal and understand ourselves!   No holds barred lets go for it! 

Some positive ways I have tried to overcome anxiety and agoraphobia: Since I would usually be worse in the evenings, I would tell my kids that I was bored. We would all pile in the car, and just drive around with the radio blarring, and singing at the top of our lungs. When I am alone is the hardest, so I read Scripture, I make things out of scraps of lace and material, anything I have laying around. I try painting a favorite picture. I call a friend that makes me laugh. I get my mind on anything but me. I have been through so much therapy all my life it is not even funny. But in the end it is us that has to find a way to make all the teaching they do work. It is us that has to change our way of thinking. It is up to us to take that step to getting past the fear! I could not leave my house for ANYTHING for 2 years. I can now go 300 miles with a person I feel safe with. That is HUGE!! It took me 5 years of driving a little further each time, but I am doing it. As long as I know I can turn around if I need to, I can do it.
