Struggling with Anxiety!

Sarah

I am struggling so much with anxiety! It used to be ok and bearable but it's now unbearable and I'm struggling to manage it! My GP diagnosed me with Generalised Anxiety Disorder and it's causing me a lot of physical symptoms like dizziness. I can no longer go in to town, if I do I get so dizzy I end up falling over! At home I headaches, dizzy, feel sick, hands shake and that's just at home...

I've said to my GP and she can offer me anti anxiety medication but said there's little else can be done to help me. She also suggested talking therapies but she's not sure given my current state how well I'll respond to it. 

I'm so tired of this now and frustrated. I just want to get on and enjoy my life but I'm plagued by anxiety and it's ruining me.

If anyone here suffers the same please will you tell me how you deal with this.

Thanks,

Sarah.

  • Hi Sarah welcome here. This is a really supportive community so I hope you find it a useful place to be.

    I'm so sorry you're struggling with so much anxiety. You're definitely not alone with this.

    Medication can work for some people so maybe you could try a small dose first and see how you get on and if it starts to help :o) 

    My school therapist says about congratulating yourself on the good days and reminding yourself you did a good job like if you go out for five minutes. It's a small thing but you can still be proud of the small things.

    Not every day will be a good day but enjoy them when they happen and then remind yourself that after a bad day there will be another good one soon.

    Hope this helps and I hope you feel better soon Heart️
