So, I've been thinking about this recurrently for the last 3 years now, but never actually realised it due to lack of money and of time. And now I've been thinking of it again. But I have two hesitations: one, regarding my age, as I'm 22, and I think I'm too old for the sport, as I think of even going to the Olympics (too far stretched), but most importantly, my obsession with my health is holding me back the most. And I don't know how to overcome that last fear. My age might not be a hindrance at all, but my health anxiety is like a mountain I can't climb. submitted by /u/thestoicnutcracker ..read more

My mental health is steadily getting worse and I don't have anyone to talk to. So I'm in a long distance relationship and I want nothing more than to be reunited with my SO and close friends who live near him. No one loves me like they do. But that takes a large amount of money. I took a second job to save up a little quicker, but they want me to close late at night after the buses stop running. I can't drive because my anxiety causes dissociative episodes and it's unsafe. I have to pay for Uber and the drivers drive on the highway which triggers panic attacks since I'm afraid of heights and ..read more

Hello! I’m not quite sure how to articulate how I feel, as I think what I’m going through is a bit odd. For as long as I can remember, I am someone who values sleep, and will go out of my way to make sure I get it, and lots of it. This means saying no to most things on weeknights with friends, and always having an “escape plan” if plans are scheduled to go past 9:30 or so. This however causes me great concern as I know I am missing out on things, and I just feel like I’m too young to be doing this(I am 28 F). I just get so anxious when I get tired that I literally go into fight or flight mode ..read more

Ugh i just tried to talk out a misunderstanding with this person and explain myself, i was calm no shouting or anything just wanted a conversation and she said its arguing. Its frustrating when people think just trying to talk things out is arguing. This person was a stranger before monday, this person also approached me by making a move just earlier this week and we had a disagreement yesterday, so i wanted to just clarify some things theyre like “i thought the phone call would make you understand but you didnt” and i was just trying to talk things out. So they blocked me after the phone cal ..read more

My husband is an idiot basically. He came home late last night, I was sleeping and he came in the bedroom eating a piece of pizza. What kind of pizza? The night befores pizza. The pizza that’s been sitting out by the trash because he didn’t put it in the fridge. He ate pizza that’s been sitting out for close to 30 hours. I yelled at him and he was like “you can do that with pizza!” He says he’s fine. It’s been about 20 hours since he ate it but I’m just waiting for it. I have a huge fear of vomit so of course I’m having anxiety. Google says it hits between 30 mins-3 weeks soooo that’s not sup ..read more

I have white coat syndrome bad and it makes me feel pathetic. I’m looking at trying to get my CDL trucker license, and part of it is a physical where I need my BP at a certain level. I know I’d fail though. I’ve had my bp go as high as 190/120 before at the doctors. I can’t even take it at home because I send myself into a panic. I can’t take it. How do I track it at home if the thought of that cuff hitting my arm sends me into a panic??? I really need to work on this but I feel crippled. What if I actually do have high BP? I feel like if I keep seeing high numbers I will go into a tailspin ..read more

I have terrible anxiety to begin with, in fact i was diagnosed at the age of 8. I drank my weight last night and woke up today with the worst anxiety i’ve felt in YEARS, i’ve heard of “hangxiety” but what i see is people being anxious about what they did/ said the night of drinking. But for me im genuinely just anxious about everything, i mean im talking body shakes, heart palpitations, all of it. Does this happen to anyone else?? Might be a stupid question, but im looking for answers lol. submitted by /u/skighoul [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Does anyone here ever get anxious about being anxious? I’ve be worrying about things in the future and I’m like oh no what if I get anxious and feel like I’ll pass out.

It’s so exhausting sometimes worrying I’ll be anxious when I’m out. submitted by /u/FactLogical5456 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

So I have been having a fear of blood clot in my leg for 2 weeks because my calf has been hurting. Went to dr and he said he was 99% sure it wasn’t a blood clot but said he would send me for ultrasound. I was so terrified that I wasn’t gonna go cause I didn’t want to know. But I did it and it was clear. Feeling a little better about myself. submitted by /u/Winnie70823 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more
