can i beat this and be happy ???

for some reason it has but gaps between sentences , im new so i apologise

Hiya,

What do you think caused the anxiety to start?

i really dont know , i wish i did and then i could start from there , all i know is , is that ive felt

this for a really long time and its slowly creeped up getting worse and then to severe ... i basically

feel trapped

thanks for the reply by the way

think back to things which happened to you maybe things which made you feel sad? Did you feel alone, asolated, break in job?

When anxiety is severe relax and tell yourself worrying achieves nothing, worrying will solve nothing,think of a good place,somewhere you've enjoyed ,felt happy and safe.

my last job i had , i was a great worker , i always have been , got my head down and did my job

etc ... but i would even spend more time in the toilet at clock off time just so i didnt have to que up to leave

and engage in convos , my face goes bright red.... i never once sat in the cantine for lunch , i would sit

outside with the older guys etc... this was a great company and then i had my breakdown ... they gave sick

pay and was sending me get well soon cards but i couldnt do it , and ive worked ever since leaving school.

i know worrying achieves nothing , but its like its in my nature now ... as though its normal

thanks for the replies

to feel human again

thanks for the reply , i dont know why it is putting gaps between what i write

Hello

You are not the only one barreling thus, I have been like it since September, I am 25 and can't bare the thought of being alone, I have a fiancé but he doesn't understand what I'm going through, I'm an only child and my mum died 7 years ago and then my dad 4 years ago, I did my grieving for both of them as we were very close, and had anxiety prior to this, I have been fine for about 2 years my normal outgoing bubbly self, getting up going to work, but ever since the end of September Iv turnt into a nervous wreck, my symptoms are, nausea, shaking, depression, toilet troubles, loss of appetite, dizziness, sweating, suicidal thoughts, it's bloody awful, I currently take 40mg of fluoxetine and 300mg of pregabalin but Iv seen no changes in taking these, I am going back to see my Gp

Most of us in same place so don't worry sf , all friendly and helpful on here. On the same dosage of fluoxetine with up to 60mg of propranolol which I find takes away physical symptoms.

hi hollie , sorry about your parents , i cant imagine how it was to go through that .... im currently living

at my parents and my dad has cancer and i hate seeing him taking loads of pills and oramorph daily ,

my mum , dad , 2 sisters are basically the only friends i have .... sometimes i feel pressured by my sisters has they want me to go out and meet someone .... i cant do that , im not happy within myself so whos gonna want to be someone like me , and i wouldnt at the moment anyway....all your symptons are familiar with me and my sleep is horrible , hope you feel well soon

hi rick , appreciate your replies and everyone elses , i even feel on edge writing on here as though im gonna be judged etc
