For context I have this close friend that I was close to but now it seems a little more distance cause of my anxiety. I have like this fucking attachment to her and how she treats me makes me base all of my self worth yet I still push her away?? Like the thing is I can’t be myself around her cause I’m so worried about how she’ll view me but at the same that causes me to not even want to talk to her cause I get so anxious and then it’s just a cycle that repeats and just furthers the distance/anxiety. I try to get better and feel and understand my emotions but always end up in this same positio ..read more

I went in for my yearly check up yesterday and just for context- my very first experience with a pelvic exam was years ago very shortly after being assaulted and the nurse practitioner who preformed it was very rude and snapped at me for not relaxing and then while she was inside of me said “yeah looks like you have an std” and i went..??? what?? like what?? and she goes “probably gonorrhea” and i start crying and freaking out and she was so fucking mean and kept implying that i had multiple partners. I didnt even end up having it, i had BV. So thats just some background of why i think i reac ..read more

Let me start by saying I’m a heavy cannabis user. I’ve been using medical cannabis for roughly 10 years to help deal with my anxiety and depression. I am also expecting the birth of my first child within the next 10 weeks, I’m very excited to be a father but have also been anxious about it. Up until a few weeks ago I was using cannabis nearly every day. Then I started to randomly get intense panic attacks (Heavy breathing, rapid heartbeat, feelings of dying, sweating, dizziness, etc), I thought it may just be a fluke so I tried other products I have used before without problem and found mysel ..read more

I’m so sick of my doctor blaming everything on anxiety just because I have anxiety. It’s like before I even open my mouth she’s ready to say it’s just anxiety or in my head. I’ve been miserable for the last year with a very weird issue and I’m not even 100% sure what the cause is. I’ve told her all the information I have a what I think might be the cause and didn’t care at all and told me to take anxiety medication. Like I get it anxiety can cause alot of weird symptoms and in the past anxiety has caused me tons of odd symptoms. But I’m actually not even that anxious lately I’ve become pretty ..read more

I'm writing this because I have no one to speak to at the moment. I really am too much for everyone and too much for myself. Everyone in my life says I feel things deeply, worry so much, that I should just chill. I wish I could chill. I really wish I could. It's so demoralizing when you can't even stand yourself because of how much anxiety has taken over your life and made you unable to function properly anymore. My anxiety is in every aspect of my life. I worry about every single thing. Nothing in my life is exempt from this. Only when I get immersed in a book or watch a good movie can I kin ..read more
