Venting Constantly Anxious

[Proxycake]

I am constantly anxious. I can't stop. My stomach won't stop hurting. I am so scared. I can't stop being scared. Of everything.

I love the song in your username. I hope we can find peace soon, dear friend.

i've found myself getting so anxious, my vision starts to blur. i wish it wasn't as often as it is, even while being heavily medicated:(

I have PTSD and feel the same. Do you look anxious? I don't.

 

[jbear824]

You're not alone OP. I'm in a constant state of anxiety and panic. I get so anxious that I pass out for hours at a time and my therapist is. Just like "why can't you work?" Jfc

I'm continually anxious. I get respite in the evening because the second pregabalin & diazepam & codeine is starting to kick in (Dangerous combination allegedly but it hasn't killed me yet unfortunately)
Breathing exercises & meditation is like trying to use an umbrella against a typhoon. I curse this brain of mine

May I ask if the cause of your anxiety has been diagnosed ? If the cause is known, perhaps psychotherapy could help.

 

[FuneralCry]

It must be really torturous and tiring suffering like that, I see it as being so cruel how there is too much suffering in existing. But anyway best wishes.

I'm so sorry, friend. You will never deserve that. I wish you all the best, I will be here if you are blinded by fear.

It has not, I do not visit the doctor often, they usually just want to throw me into a mental ward. But I have been diagnosed with depression and psychosis

Codeine... that is a familiar word to me. I'm sorry, that's horrid, sometimes it gets so bad that there is nothing to calm one down.

I do not. I usually just run outside and walk somewhere I don't know of.

Therapists are laughable sometimes, un-fucking-believeable.

I've been drinking for it. It makes me act like a moron in front of everyone, though.

drinking is very temporary and something i don't consume at all. dealing with stress is too much for alchohol to manage. i would stop if i were you.

 

[betternever2havbeen]

Yep I'm the same-very scared these days, scared of what will become of me, scared of dying, scared I'll go crazy, scared WTF life is...man I miss the days when I was just severely depressed instead of having anxiety and existential depression on top. I'm sorry you feel this way too, it really sucks.

 

[Unattainable666]

I'm the same way. There's not relaxation. My mind is constantly going. Constantly worrying. It totally sucks. So sorry you feel this way.

 

[jbear824]

I feel you. My baseline is borderline panic. All the time. Constant dread, fear. My body is in constant pain. Can't remember the last time I experienced relaxation or calm. And trying to explain this to people is impossible. They just don't understand what's it's like to have severe and chronic anxiety all the time, every day.

It's so bad that I can pass out for hours at a time. I hate it. It's never ending.

 

[bedhead_baby]

I understand, especially the stomach pain. Constantly nauseous or throwing up. I wish I could help, but I do see you and I know how unbearable it is.

 

[bedtimebabe]

I feel so much dread for life all the time, dread when I wake up in the morning to still be alive and have to face life, I feel you.

 

[befree]

It has not,

But this is very important. Putting someone in a psychiatric ward is not therapy. And before therapy can begin, the cause must be found.
No therapy without the exact diagnosis !

Same here! I would not say "of everything" but it would take way too long to list them. What about benzos and other anxiolytics? They do work, at least for awhile!

I'll try them out, I'm just trying not to rely on limited items such as medicine or therapy.

I wake up around 1-3 PM most days. Dread comes in so fast. I'm sorry you're dealing with it too, you aren't deserving of that burden.

Yes, truly! The term "never-ending", constant dread and fear, panic, you've worded it all so well.

Can you get benzos quite easily? Aren't they addictive and Drs might be hesitant to prescribe?

I can't visit the doctor right now but I will inquire about it
