Anxiety & Fear has consumed me

Hello,

This is my first time posting as I am new to the site. I just wanted to reach out and get some advice, suggestions from others that may have experienced the same feelings as me. I have been suffering with anxiety for the past few years. I have tried different techniques to try and overcome and work through my issues but I always seem to find myself back in the same position. Feeling worthless and like I will never be able to enjoy life as much as I possibly could.

I hit an all time low last week when I had to cancel an overseas trip to see my family because my anxiety and fears completely consumed me. Obviously this has left me feeling even worse, angry, sad, hopeless but also determined that I do not want to let this monster in my head take my happiness away from me anymore.

Has anyone else had these same feelings and can offer treatment ideas or advice?

Many thanks for reading

Welcome to the forum, kira44. I am sorry to hear that your anxiety has stopped you from enjoying life. You are definitely not alone. I appreciate your determination to get better, as it is the very important step to the road of recovery. You mentioned that you have tried different strategies, which are very good start, but have you sought any professional help? I would suggest that you go to a GP, so that you can get referred to a psychologist and/or prescribed with medication. Get well soon!
