At the limits of coping. But what happens when I cease to cope?

[Guest_1211]

I feel absolutely overwhelmed.

I feel like I have reached my limit and my capacity to cope has almost been stretched to breaking point.

my psychologist has been warning me that she is concerned that I will push myself past my limit. That at some point I won’t be able to keep coping.

I always seem to be able to keep taking on more and just make it work, but what actually happens if you can’t?

What does this look like? I can’t imagine not coping, but I don’t know if I can keep this up.

What are your anxiety symptoms now? I've dealt with panic disorder most of my life going up and down through the years. My worst point with anxiety/panic was not being able to go on public transport, public places, waking up in the middle of the night with panic attacks, constant hand tremors, massive weight loss, I had to quit my job at one point I had to quit study and take a year out, I couldn't drive long distances for awhile and it freaking sucks, but you get through it. I guess it's working out what your limits are and when you hit that point you'll step back take a breather and get back on the horse with the help of those awesome professionals who's job it is to give you a leg up.
