Severe anxiety - new serious symptoms need help !

[toodepressed]

I'm having problem in my severe anxiety. New signs and symptoms that destroying my life. I don't have a family or even close friends to give me a clear feedback about my daily life, but what I feel I'm becoming so lost, losing control " time management" losing opportunities, friends, personal stuff, and attention to small details. My short memory is getting worst, tried to get a job but my anxietys' symptoms are really clear such as shaking hands and lack of attention.

I'm so scared about my future need your advice !

Are you under the care of a doctor or counsellor? If not, please consider doing so. Signs and symptoms that are destroying your life need to be attended. I am not sure whether you are anxious to hang out with friends (social anxiety) or your anxiety at the moment is preventing you from doing so. Either way, addressing the anxiety would help expand your social support network, which is crucial to recovery.

Hi toodepressed, sorry to hear what you're going through. As hope for the best said, I think it would be really great if you could talk this through with a professional. You shouldn't have to suffer like this, and you deserve some peace in your life. I love the app "Booster Buddy" it really helped me with my anxiety, maybe it'll help you with yours too.

Thanks for your reply, My psychologist is aware of that, which didn't give me other options rather posting it here ! Thanks again

Hello toodepressed

Good on you for having the strength to post! Im sorry that you are experiencing these horrible anxiety symptoms.

I understand what you are going through as I used to have chronic anxiety as well and the symptoms you have are common yet awful to have.

Hope.for.the.best and Jessicatherese have great advice about.

It is crucial that you book a double appointment with your GP so you can begin your recovery. You have everything to gain and nothing to lose by doing so.

Anxiety is very common and many people suffer from varying degrees of this awful condition.

The forums are a rock solid safe place for you to post. I do hope you can post back when convenient for you.

my kind thoughts for you

Paul

I just arrived to a point that" I feel I don't know what is the right anymore" too much pressure, hopeless, and fear!

Sorry for the negative way of feeling but that is it

Hi toodepressed and a welcome from me 🙂

I too suffer from anxiety, amongst other things.

I’ve recently gone back to my psychologist, whom I haven’t seen for 14 years, because I’m having a horrible relapse. See, she inspires a certain amount of confidence in me, and I trust her, which helps in motivation to do the work needed. Because, battling anxiety does require some work, bravery and courage.

When we are at our wits end with shaking hands and full of fear, it can be totally incapacitating, we don’t know where to go, or what to do - I often think of the white rabbit from Alice in Wonderland when I’m feeling like this 🙂

If you’re not getting that support from your psychologist, perhaps a re-think might be in order? I don’t know your circumstances or referral, of course, or how easy it might be for you to change - if this person is not “clicking” for you.

Please post back, because I know it is way to easy for bad anxiety to lead to us to pulling the drawbridge up and stop interacting with the world.

The Booster Buddy app is great and so is Smiling Mind - if you have the appropriate technology to use them. Smiling Mind is also available via web page using a browser, which means you can access via computer. I find their breathing meditations very useful.

Looking forward to chatting to you soon, cheers M 🙂
