Hi there RoadToRecovery.
Wow, what an incredibly insightful response, thank you. I absolutely love your example scenarios. I can see from both your point of view and from Josh also. It is great to...
Not sure why but earlier when I replied, it seemed to have posted the reply elsewhere! I am still sort've getting the hang of this. Your advice is really great. In my previous response, as I said, I...
Heya Gypsy!
Omg I can totally relate. I have a friend in India who I've been talking to for 4 years. I totally get what you mean about the not being able to see them in person... Really sucks. He...
Hi Josh.
Yes I totally understand the fight or flight response. Sometimes I just find it hard to accept that an innate thing can cause our conscious mind to go into a state of panic. It's a great...
[QUOTE=josh0745;241168]My best weapon is distraction! My hobbies, my wife, my kids, a friend deep in conversation. If I can get out of my head, I can escape the horrible feeling like something is...
Hey Gypsy! Omg I know exactly how you mean about using men to cope. I was with a guy for two years, we wasn't compatible at all but he was so confident, unlike me and it sort've helped my anxiety....
Hey Gypsy,
That's true. We do have to think about those who are stuggling worse than we may be for sure. I always look at homeless people and imagine a day I can really change their lives, by...
Hi Jon! Like you said, reading other people's views of what a panic attack is shows that we all experience it slightly differently. Some people have a racing heart, some people start to sweat while...
I have posted on here before about my anxiety.
But I keep coming to this place in my mind where I can't take things anymore.
My family make things so much worse, they are so shit at being there...
My goodness Josh sorry I had forgotten that I'd written that! Generally I try keep the weight loss and anxiety issues separate that's why I hadn't realised that I wrote about it - particularly as I...
That indeed! You're welcome(:
Well I wish you and your mother the very best and a healthy recovery. I know it takes time but I'm sure you can lean on one another's strength. Sometimes life can push us to rock bottom, but that's...
Hi Josh, I'm not sure what gave you the impression that I'm trying to lose weight! However I do understand the link weight has with anxiousness/nervousness and low self esteem and so on. To be honest...
Hey Gypsy,
I haven't seen the doctor. To be honest I'm scared to. It's like when you go to the GP and they ask what's your problem they expect 'sore throat' or 'have I broken my finger?' I don't...
Hi there,
I can't say that I am agoraphobic, but I do know I am EXTREMELY uncomfortable in crowds of people or being in public where it is really busy. I have found that sometimes we feel anxious...
Hi guys,
Here's a bit of my background. I grew up bullied my first few years in school. Then I became the clown of the class to elevate me from the belittled state I was in as someone bullied. I...
Ahh damn! That's okay. I had the same problem a few days ago as I'm new to this lol. Never mind! I just wanted to let you know that I totally understood everything you had said and what you'd felt,...
Everyone's advice has been great. Just take day by day to those who are also suffering
I believe there's a definite connection. If you feel better I.e. Less anxious without it, then definitely stick to that new routine!
Hi, your reply is amazing. I live in the UK. Society here is pretty shitty, very judgemental, very opinionated people almost anywhere and everywhere you go. I was thinking about seeing a therapist...
Yes indeed thank you for your understanding. I have read your story and it's inspiring. I hope one day I can grow, since anxiety never truly leaves you for good. It leaves these feelings behind....
Hi! Thank you so much for replying to my post. Yes, I am very intrigued about finding more out about the chemicals I.e. Amino acids and magnesium. I was thinking to go to my GP for this but it's...
It's quite possible you don't have OCD, perhaps you just like things done a certain way which is great! If something isn't in the order you like, depending on the circumstances - it would be fine to...
Hi Guys.
Female in my 20s. Have had anxiety probably longer than I can remember. My anxiety prevents me from doing normal things in life I.e. Drive a car, want to take bus, take public transport,...
