Does anyone else feel fed up with their anxiety?

Lately I have wished there was a magic switch to turn off my anxiety. It's just so hard to deal with. Does anyone else feel like this?

Hello Booklover17

Many people feel the same way that you do where anxiety is concerned. I used to have had chronic anxiety for a while. The good thing is that it does lessen in severity when we are seeing a doctor on a regular basis.

Its similar to any ongoing physical health issue. It does require ongoing help from a doc so the symptoms can be monitored and dealt with. Are you seeing a GP for your anxiety?

Thanks for the great thread topic 🙂

My kind thoughts

Paul

I feel exactly the same. I’m so over it.

Oh god yes. I would do anything to rid myself of anxiety when I get it. Sometimes I like to imagine there is a syringe drawing the poison out of my chest when I get anxious.

Hi Paul,

Yes I am seeing a psychologist and that has helped immensely but it is still such a struggle.

Hi Brianna,

I am so glad I am not the only one. Anxiety makes me feel so alone, I am glad someone else understands.

Hi Ggrand,

If there was some easy way to turn it off, that would be amazing 😊

Hi Ellie,

That's a good way to imagine getting rid of it. It does sometimes feel like it takes over, hopefully we can all get through it 😊

Oh boy, I'm sick of it too.

Had a good weekend - relatively anxiety free - but it seems to come and go in waves. Hit me hard this morning, all these intrusive, irrational, painful thoughts come into my mind for no good reason. They send me into a panic.

Since it hit me this morning, I'm hoping that the rest of the day will be a bit better.

Definitely. When I have a flare up (like now) I feel like my life is always going to be difficult and I will never be happy because I have to drag this dead weight called anxiety around everywhere.

I have strategies that I use that help some of the time, and life feels a bit more bearable then.

Hope that you are able to go through a 'good patch' soon.

I scream at mine in my head and it goes away.

I've read if you talk to 'it', confront 'it' ask it what it wants and ask yourself if the overthinking is helping then it should help alleviate it. I like the syringe idea, drawing out the poison.

im over it too.

Hi booklover17,

I've been really at the moment. I go to bed overnight hoping one day it will be gone 😞 It holds me back in life greatly.

Hi Booklover17

I started having bad anxiety when I was 23 and it took me a long time to understand that the earlier its treated the better our recovery from this awful set of symptoms....I hear you loud and clear..

Hi everyone

If only a pill would take it away perminately. I have GAD and it sucks. Was diagnosed at at 22 however looking back and giving the dr a general history he believes I have had anxiety since childhood (remember having weird anxious rituals and being unable to sleep due to fear of wetting the bed). Although I have a pretty good grip of it now and can manage it I wish I could live a life without it. I think that almost every day

I’m so over my anxiety. It stops me from being able to cope with life’s simple ups and downs. I’m sick of the nausea that comes with it and the racing thoughts. Nice to know I’m not alone

Dear Booklover17, it is so debilitating this Anxiety creature... Do you have a support network (partner, a friend, or family member) that you can talk to. Your definitely not alone, I have recently checked back in with a psychologist (10 free visits with a referral from your GP), and if you have a Gp you feel comfortable with they can be a great source of comfort. Are you taking any medication for your anxiety? I am new to this forum but I am finding so helpful and comforting for those moments when you feel like it's getting the better of you.....Stay strong....by the way your thread name is obviously an indication that you are a reader do you have any reading recommendations i would like something that's light hearted no violence kind of read - should I be looking for fiction or non fiction 😊

Hi Rhinoceros,

Yes, the mornings are the worst for me. I quite frequently have an overwhelming feeling of dread but it usually goes away later in the day when I am busier. Hope you ended up feeling better too!!
