My anxiety is worst when something is out of my control, and I don’t cope at all. Every minute is spent obsessing over it. I wake up and I’m thinking about it. I’m physically talking to people or doing something and I’m thinking about it. I obsess to the point I’ll go from having 7hrs sleep to 3hrs every day just because I’m trying to find information that will help me feel more in control, and honestly this applies to soooo much in my life. Even the fucking weather if I have plans one day. I will sit and check every weather app or site to check predictions basically every chance I get and I ..read more

I'm on disability for my anxiety disorder and I feel like I have no schedule or purpose during the day. I'm tired of going to bed late and waking up late and just doing nothing all day. I want to start waking up earlier, but that brings me to the problem of still not having anything to do. I just want to feel productive again. If I can't work, what can I do all day to keep myself busy and give myself purpose again? submitted by /u/novagirrrrl [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Suddenly bursting into tears, I apologize for not being enough for you. I’m sorry for being unable to fill the void you feel. I apologize for simply being myself, for loving you intensely, and for not being her. submitted by /u/roguealice0407 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I feel completely alone in this, but every time I talk to someone I'm super hyperfixated on my swallowing and breathing in-between sentences and words and trying to control it. It makese not want to socialise with anyone as I feel extremely stressed when doing so. Anyone else have the same issue and if so have any tips on coping strategies? I'm up to 200mg sertraline, do breathing exercises multiple times a day, meditate for at least an hour, do yoga, muscle relaxation, mindfulness and eat healthy and exercise but nothing is working right now. Have managed to manage this anxiety before but fo ..read more

I've been dealing with this habit for years now. Every single day for well over a year now I tell myself consistently that l'm going to bed earlier but I never actually do it. Why is this habit so hard to get rid off? Once it's dark and quiet I feel like I can finally think clearly, process my emotions and actually get some time for myself to de-stress. This all started in 2020 during the first lockdown and l've been unable to change it ever since. l usually go to bed at 4am and get up at 12am. It's honestly embarrassing. Does anyone else struggle with this? submitted by /u/reddituseroflove ..read more

Reformatting my CV and looking for the job offers already was a big step for me. Today, I send out the first online applications. Horray, one might say. But no, my mind is hellbent on keeping me anxious. "What if you're not getting accepted anywhere? Check your mails. What if you miss their phonecalls? Can you even pick up their calls in that moment or will you have to call back? Better check your emails again." The thoughts keep on spiralling, making me nauseous. Of course, the rational part of my brain tells me, it's all bs. No one checks their mail every five minutes. Missing a call is bet ..read more
