Anxiety

Queen

My anxiety is killing me...

*sobs*

I haven't been out for ages. Most days I'm too anxious to actually leave the house. You know, I'm starting to think it's getting out of hand!

Every day I promise myself I'll get over the anxiety and every day it kicks my bum :( 

  • HI

    I Don't suffer from Anxiety but my father does as I live with it everyday

    its always good to do baby steps, perhaps scheduling a time and date might help.

  • If it gets to the point where your anxiety is so bad that it's dominating your life, you really need to try to move towards professional help; self-help online has its place, but for an actual anxiety disorder that's often not good enough.

    I was going to write out some things I do to deal, but I guess since my last true anxiety disaster was a year ago and I still feel scared a lot (even though I'm doing a lot better, I could hardly be worse than I was then) I'm not sure I have the answers. But whatever, I take it slow, congratulate myself on any progress and try to keep pushing on very slowly.

  • Hi Queen,

    I’ve struggled with anxiety for years, so I empathise. Have you been to see your GP about your anxiety? And if so did they recommend any help? After many years of struggling I’ve finally got to the top of the waiting list and am seeing a therapist and it is helping. What have you tried?

    Hi. Thank you for this! I just read about it and it looks like it will be a really helpful book. I've ordered it. Definitely now is time to start kicking anxieties butt lol.

  • Hello Queen, you may find some help in this book:

    An Aspie's Guide to Overcoming Anxiety - Attwood, Tony, Evans, Craig R., Lesko, Anita (2015)
    ISBN 9781784501198

    Maybe now is the time to reverse positions in the bum kicking contest and show it how effective some pointy cowboy boots can be Slight smile
