anxiety seems to stop me from doing things

Rach91

Hello my names Rachel and I have asperges syndrome and adhd I also suffer from anxiety and depression. I really find it hard to do things without my brain going into what if mode and it really brings me down. I've tried ringing samaritons but their always helpful and I often seem to hang up on them I don't like doing this because its rude but if I try talking to them it just makes me angry. Does anyone else experience this and any advice would be appreciated because this is slowly starting to eat me up and its starting to affect me in my work place thanks again Rachel xx 

  • When my anxiety gets to be too much, I take passionflower oil under my tongue in the morning. It doesn't fix it, just calms my nerves without meds (yeah, I'm one of those). Anyway after work, I'll work really hard at home like move all my furniture around and clean the entire house. It helps keep the depression away for me. Keeps me moving and doing something. I can't do anything out in public when I feel this way though...too much for me.

  • Hi thanks for the advice what I try to do with the samaritons is hang up and ring again but I seem to get really angry and I snap at people because I'm so frustrated with myself.  I  try to stop my anxiety from controlling but when I try to I will either have a panic attack or I make myself physically sick and its horrible because nothing wants to come up. I like drinking green tea I try ane avoid cathine and when I'm in work I try to keep myself busy or when I'm at home I find walking my dogs Dylan and Lucy or just cuddling them even tho Dylan's huge lol it helps. 

  • Hi,

    Really feel what you are going through, my anxiety and depression has got worse recently. I get the kind of thinking you are describing, I'm not sure what to suggest. I find doing something else, a chore you hate, or an interest, eases things. Then when I start thinking about them, I get a bit of a clearer picture on things.

    Motivation to do things is difficult, I have to push myself, it takes a lot of effort. There is an email address for the samaritans, you might find that a bit easier than the phone.

    Have you discussed this with your doctor

  • Hello Rach91.

    yes I get huge anxiety, and that is common with ASD so people tell me along with depression.

    Talking sometimes helps me. But I often have difficulty explaining my feelings properly.

    You are not alone.
