Hi all, it's been ages since I posted here, I hope everyone is doing well! There is a chance that I may be moving interstate for my partners job. It would be about a 10 hour drive from my friends/family (or a 1.5 hour flight). Due to my anxiety, I like to be close to my support networks, family, friends, doctor, psychologist, etc. Have any of you made a big move like this? Was it very hard on your anxiety? Or was it ok?? He can refuse the job if it would be too hard for me, I just feel bad that my anxiety could prevent a possibly great job opportunity. Would love to hear from anyone who starte ..read more

I have no idea what happened to Anxiety Zone neither have I any desire to know, but one thing struck me when I read that someone has come on here because they have anxiety because Anxiety Zone closed!! To close down a site that is helping anxiety sufferers without giving adequate explanation is unforgivable. Now may I be forgiven if it was for some unavoidable incident that caused those who ran it to have to shut down suddenly, but surely someone could have said something. For anxious people to be suddenly deprived of any means of support, or any way to express themselves, is not goo ..read more

    I have been having anxiety and panic attacks off and on for 25 years.  I take medication, have a counselor, supportive wife and a great family.  I am involved in the community and coach youth sports and have a good job.     Sometimes I think why do things matter if you are going to die eventually.   I have always been concerned that I am going to die.  Those thoughts are prevalent when I am having anxiety or a panic attack.  My heath is fine, but sometimes my excitement doesn’t happen as much as it did before ..read more

Here is a miracle prayer to Jesus that might help somebody.  Dear sacred heart of Jesus, in the past I have asked for many favours. This time I asked for a special one. (Here mention your request) Take it, dear Jesus, and place it within your own broken heart, where your father sees it. Then in his merciful eyes it will become your favor and not mine. Amen. Say for three days and promise to publish.     ..read more

Does anybody else not understand what the hell their doing wrong?   I get these attacks from time to time, where I'll feel weak, my heart race increases, I get hot flushes and a little panic.   When it happens I think to myself let it happen, accept it, surrender to it, let it do whatever it wants to do, let it have me, allow it, but no matter what happens I get more tense, my heart pumps faster, I feel worse and weaker and more terrible.    I've read Claire weekes book like 15 times, listened to all the audios numerous times and still don't get it. No matter what I do or w ..read more

I am sick and tired of everything right now. Just frustrated with how my life has gone and how I can't seem to get ahead. I feel anxious and paranoid all the time. I've spent so much time alone but now I'm too afraid to go back out there. I am hearing of new violence all the time and I feel no place is safe. I wrote about this on here before. I keep imagining a shooting will occur wherever I am. I am sickened by how we are okay with all this violence. I'm even afraid of things that didn't used to scare me, like choking on my food. No way around that. Have to eat. On top of that, my depres ..read more

Hello All, I am new to the forum.  I have had a pretty bad two weeks that as of yesterday started to turn around.  I am becoming more like my old self but I just wanted to post and hope this helps someone who might have or is going through this same thing.  Even though how I presented with symptoms isn't anything I have read or known the fact the anxiety is all the same.  About two weeks ago I tested positive for COVID.  Started having the fever and body aches, however I started getting brain zaps, which i get when i skip a few dozes of my Paxil.  This time I hadn ..read more

I'm not sure how many people will see this but I am struggling with Generalized Anxiety Disorder. I am a younger person, yet I worry like an adult. I have come up with a coping mechanism that isn't really a good one. It is staying up for hours at night on my tablet...I stay up until I literally tire myself out, then I fall asleep. My coping mechanism is to literally drain myself of any energy I have so I fall asleep. Does anyone have any healthier coping mechanisms for this? If so, please share ..read more

Hi everyone. To cut a long story short, I have been through a traumatic time recently. I had to make the most difficult decision of my life as a result of my anxiety (sensitive topic so won't mention it here), and weeks after this decision was made I had a panic attack that let to feelings of derealisation/depersonalisation. This was 3 weeks ago, and despite meditating, exercising, taking herbs/supplements, increasing healthy fats into my diet such as walnuts, flaxseed and avacado, going about my day in as normal way as possible, the feelings are still there. I keep having thoughts that the wo ..read more
