Hi, thank you for taking the time to read this post. 2 years I've been suffering Anxiety.
I thought it was an excuse, something ppl made up. How wrong and nieve I was.
I'm so sick of this roller coaster ride. The feeling of being a burden on my partner and a useless father.
I'm bloody over feeling like I can't get out the door and always late.
When your heart starts leaping outta your chest for the fear of nothing.
I've read and researched so much. I've fought and fought this quiksand but I'm getting tired.
It's like there's a foot on my head. I want answers but there isn't any. I want a cure
But no doctor has it....

Hello Foxtrot ML, and I too am very sorry for the situation you are in.

'When your heart starts leaping outta your chest for the fear of nothing' can be the beginning of anxiety, although I'm not qualified to say, but experienced this many times during my life.

You can relate this problem to your doctor who will help you but sometimes it maybe easier to talk with another person/s who have experienced similar circumstances.

Please allow us to try and help you, as we have all been through our own type of depression and can understand what other people maybe confronting and trying to cope with.

Best wishes.

Geoff.
