Anxiety

Does anyone else here have anxiety? How do you cope with it? I have anxiety and it's got really bad in the last three years. My room is my safe place and I try to never leave it unless I absolutely have to because crazily even being out of my room for more than a few seconds makes me so anxious. Can't cope with it. So stressful. I haven't left the house in years don't go in the garden anymore which is a shame as I use to play sport but not now. My anxiety causes me a lot of physical things like aches all over my body specifically my tummy, sides and chest. Also get an upset tummy a lot and really bad headaches. Mostly I just draw all day. Listen music and watch stuff, but even when I'm doing that I still feel really anxious and scared all the time. It's got to a point where I'm anxious but I don't even know why.

  • I am in the same place. Please feel free to pm me. I am almost 40 and lived like that for so long it has caused me alot of damage. I am trying my best to do more but even small things seem alot. Being trapped is beyond painful and escapism is soothing but can cause a very distorted mindset. I have barely ever worked..gone anywhere or educated. The thought of a normal life horrifies me. Also anxiety is more than just being scared mentally...it can get stuck in fliighr node which makes everything horrific all the time

  • Hi, it sounds really tough for you atm the moment as well. Education wasn't to bad for me, primary was best, secondary was ok but then my mum died and without her support and care it's been downhill ever since. I hope you're okay and things will start to be better for you soon.
