anxiety seems to stop me from doing things

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

  • 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
