can i beat this and be happy ???
Posted , 7 users are following.
Well here goes ... im 28 years of age from the uk and my anxiety is basically ruling my life
And i don’t know what to do anymore.
Does anybody feel like this on a daily basis???because this is me everyday.
So scared to answer the door when people knock?
Scared of answering my phone to numbers i don’t recognise
Scared to go to the shop which is literally 10 seconds away from my house , and even
When i pluck the courage up to go i pray that im gonna be the only one in there so i go straight in
And out , and the small talk and eye contact is a total nightmare.
I make sure if i have to have my hair cut that im there real early so theres not many people
About and once again straight in and out.
Going to the doctors and being in the waiting room. The list can go one tbh
Guess what im trying to say is that im a nervous wreck , i never used to be like this , i used to be happy , outgoing , confident and bubbly etc ..... i just don’t know how it came to this , i feel like
Theres a constant black cloud above my head day in day NOT out etc.......
Sorry for going on so long , i just dunno what to do and its sad really because i know theres
People out there with worse problems i guess.
I even deleted my facebook because all i kept seeing is people posting pics of family , holidays
And all nice stuff because it depressed me ... yeah i know that sounds selfish but im a really nice
Person and would do anything for anyone.
Anyway im rambling on .... anybody out there anywhere that has beat these beasts ?????
Thanks
Oh yes and im on mirtazapine and beta blockers , maybe i need the right meds for me

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

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
