I can't go on anymore
Posted , 7 users are following.
I can't do this anymore. Just being alive is tiring. I've pushed everyone away. The phone calls have stopped. I live with my boyfriend but we could 've other sides of the world. I'm tired of being anxious all the time. All I can think of is the fact that one day I'm going to die so what's the point anyway. My health anxiety is so bad I barely leave the house anymore. I honestly can't see a normal, happy future ahead of me :-(

I have been alone for too many years, I am battling anxiety, stress with awful symptoms like diarrea, palpitations, extreme difficulties digesting, I had to stop working. Struggling to pay the rent. Crying everyday since I got dumped.
I so wish I had someone next to me..
Im reaching out to my friends, without then Ill be down the hole..
I think Im going to try antidepressant as cant do this alone either.
Hate to take pills as Im scared of scared effects but we have to try dont we?
And your boyfriend, does he support you?

Just noticed your posts..
Well glad you are still fighting..
Agreed on the negative side effects of pills, too many.. Maybe we are more prone to them than others?
Im very slim so half a dose is always best for me.. Trying valium too, its relaxing but still havent slept all night?!?!
So you're alone as well?
For me, I think its at the root of all my anxiety, its been more than 10 years!
No one to talk to, to support me, to reassure me, to hold me..
Pretty crap, and if you tell people they almost dont believe you..( like no one can be single for 10 years, hem yes..)
Everyone so happy in their little relationship or with their kids, they cannot relate to us..
Thats my take on it anyway.

Me, I'm only 16 and I've had this for 3 years now, I have tried endless things to comfort myself I seriously didn't know I had GAD my freshman year so I just thought I was dying. But then I found it was just another fabulouse fam trait
Things I've found that have helped.. Talking! Helps a lot. Singing! I know you feel a little breathless, but just keep pushing it and you'll forget. Progesterone. It helps to calm me down just a little cream you rub behind your neck, or between your thighs just because it gets into your system quicker. Also rescue remedy tablets, they are hard gummies also just relaxes you.
Trust me I have encountered son bad stuff in only three years.. A.Lot... But you just need to surround yourself with positive things. Take up hobbies paint, craft, collect, find distract it's what interests you.
Finally I know not everyone believes and maybe it's not for you.. But God has helped strengthen me. I just went to mass today, and I felt so enlightened
I hope this helps but remeber were in this together all of us! Feel free to message me if you ever need help

I too was like you..constant panic attacks, scared of leaving the house, unable to breathe ect...you all know the rest....
But please, please do not lose Hope..I am absolutely fine now and I have been for a very long time....please do not be scared of trying antidepressants, they really are a life saver and I have never had any side effects at all, I have my life back...I just thought to myself one day...nothing has ever, ever happened to me
And after the panic wanes it is fine...we are afraid of the fear..!!!
I also found that if I went outside, I would walk as fast as I could, that helped with the overwhelming surge of adrenaline...please believe me, medication can save your life and sanity..side effects ( if any. ) soon pass, also valium is ideal short term for the initial worst times you have too deal with...
I do so, so hope that you all soon feel a lot better, there is no need to live like this, modern medications can help..really...
Warm hugs to you all...get well xxx Deirdre xxx

My other son ( his twin brother ) has been on it for a long time, he has had it upped almost to the maximum, and fortunately he has suffered no side effects at all...I think that each case is individual, what suits one person will not suit another...I have been on sertraline for about 12 yrs...200mgs, also with no side effects and it did really turn my life around....
Very often medication is essential for the treatments of mental health problems...especially severe psychosis and manic depression...there really is no other option..yes there is CBT and talking therapies, but they have no effects on the chemical imbalances in the brain....
We trust a GP to prescribe medication for a heart problem..or very many other serious illnesses...yet we are very wary...Quite rightly....of medication that works on our mind....mental health problems are very, VERY serious also and require specialized treatments.....I wish you all so much luck, and hope you improve every single day....hugs and sincere regards to you all...Deirdre xxx
