Anxiety Community

🙃

Preferred communication style

This is why I prefer in person or video chats over texting and phone calls: "Seeing someone's face while you talk can help with complex post-traumatic stress disorder. Eye contact or facial cues can make you feel safe."

Stress

This is spot on "Adults who experienced high stress in childhood often actively avoid stress, leading to patterns like hypervigilance, overfunctioning, and emotional shutdown. While they deeply desire peace, their nervous systems may remain on high alert."

Anyone else

Just get sideswiped by anxiety like no trigger nothing happens just literally full panic mode for no reason

C-PTSD

Developing C-PTSD as a child gave me a strong understanding of people and how life works. It's almost like you can go into different situations and analyze things at a lightning fast rate and don't get a chance to rest or relax. It's a blessing to be able to understand others and their perspectives… read more

I'm not doing so good because of anxiety :(

Anxiety and Insomnia is always a fun mix.

I do wish i could have one night where I sleep through it.

How do I explain this? Whenever I eat something get full quickly and my body starts to feel not good me walking around couldn't relax or calm sooo.... My symptoms are: anxious, a bit nervous, a bit shaky, maybe over thinking, anxiety 🫠

Anxiety

If you have an anxiety disorder, do you ever realize that it's harder to relax when you are around others because your brain is constantly scanning the environment for threats even when there are none?

Agoraphobia

Hey everyone, I've been dealing with a bunch of anxiety disorders but the worst one is Agoraphobia. Even if I go somewhere with my safe person I panic and want to go home. What has helped y'all lessen the panic?

Me on a daily basis

The truth ❤️

The reality is none of us are easy to love. Yeah? We're all a bit cracked, a bit battered by the way of life, carrying scars people don't see, and fights we don't talk about. And every now and then, right, someone comes along, and they aren't looking for perfect. They are looking for real, and when… read more

Waking up in America and seeing news alerts every hour for something awful.

Fears...

I'm afraid to be alone for rest of my life... I'm afraid to continue living... I'm afraid to lose my mind with depression... I'm afraid to love... I'm afraid to get hurt again...

🙃

I've decided I want to maybe see a therapist.

I've always had my ups and downs. Insecurities and feeling the world was against me. I've had moments of feeling incredibly anxious to the point where I don't really irl socialise very well. I don't go out much - aside from going to coffee shops and reading. My depression comes and goes and of… read more

Unhinged...

I have failed not once not twice but every time in everything I had my future planned but I can not fulfill it... I sacrificed my well being to accomplish great things but it was all for nothing... No matter what I did or how I did it there was only one outcome... Failure...

C-PTSD

This explains why I get drained around high energy people: "People with complex PTSD struggle around high-energy people because their nervous systems are constantly on alert, processing loud sounds and fast movements as danger, and feeling drained by the extra social effort required."

Feeling...

Unwanted... Ugly... Not good enough... It's hurts but it's ok...

Weak...

You can rip everything but don't rip my heart... Fragile inside... but the outside hard... Paint myself twice just to hide my scars...

Dental work

Getting my wisdom teeth removed, anything dental related gives me anxiety. Memes, cute pictures, kind words, and wishing me good luck would be very appreciated.

oops

Feeling...

Chewing on anxiety until I choke...

yet to experience it.. still i am sure i'll push him away.. (if he even exists)

Disconnected...

No one ever gets the message... It's hard to see from my perspective... Emotionally imperceptive... 'Cause in the end these d**gs are all I'm left with... The end is something I've accepted...

It's ok...

It's been too long... I've been alone...
