    Hi michelle

    When I was much younger I used to cut my initials onto the top of my hands.

    That was to remind me of who I was, no one could take that from me. I had a traumatic upbringing but I could always see who I was.

    Now, over 50 years later, I am on fluoxetine for anxiety, depression and ptsd. I have outgrown cutting myself physically, but mentally it still goes on.

    I hope you can learn to live a life more rewarding, good luck for your future.

    Mike

    Anxiety is when those feelings don't go away, they’re extreme for the situation, and you can’t seem to control them. When anxiety is severe or there all the time, it makes it hard to cope with daily life. 

    Some anxiety is helpful – it helps us react to stresses or potential threats, by quickening our reflexes and focusing our attention, and it usually settles once the stressful situation has passed.
