Anxiety vent thread.

Hi All

I have been thinking of some new ideas for threads some may work and others may not take off. Hopefully members will find them helpful.

This is a thread were you can just vent away about your anxiety and get things of your chest. One members vent may help an other member who can relate so not feel so alone.

That's see how it goes. Remember no need to reply to others posts the aim is to just have a thread were you can vent and then vent some more

Dear Anxiety

You are a real pain that I never seem to be able to get rid of you always sneak up on me and show yourself at the least appropriate time scaring me out of my wits and making me feel very uneasy. You make me feel so tired all the time as I constantly have to try and hide you so you wont embarrass me. Why cant you just leave me be so I can get some decent sleep at night and feel refreshed in the morning.

I have known you all my life but we are not friends in fact we are enemies doing battle in the mind. I wish that we had never met and that you would not be part of my life. For years I was confused and unsure of the world I found it difficult being with others and could not relate to my peers as you were taking over my life and making sure you were in charge.

I tried to ignore you for as long as I could and would avoid situations which meant I did not have friends and got labeled as shy. I was bullied by others because of this and became very self conscious and afraid of my surroundings. Eventually you became to much and made me ill.

I started to recognize you and built up the strength to challenge you and take control of my life. My friends CBT made me realise that you could be beaten and I was up for the challenge. I new it was going to be a long road but was very motivated to confront you and beat you back and get you out of my life. For the first time in my life i felt in control and it felt absolutely brilliant Lexapro helped me deal with the horrible symptoms you were throwing at me and CBT put me on the right track.

I started to feel good about myself and was working daily on making my life more manageable and no I did not miss you one bit. Things were good and I was enjoying life with out you but you would not leave me alone because you are spiteful like that and could not stand seeing me happy. You were sneaky and started to niggle away in the back of my mind challenging CBT but I was holding out it and rolling with you and staying in the moment.

Unfortunately I got ill from a virus and became physically unwell you saw this as your chance and piled on the stress and pressure and got hold of me again. Yet again you stayed with me and I lost my job because of you. It seems we are linked and are always going to be battling each other but I would like to make it 100% clear you will loose and I will fight you all the way.


Anxiety we will never see eye to eye but no I am on the up and taking one step at a time so it is you that needs to be worried not me.

LMBO KITT! There you go again with the dang paper plates. I was just going to post something about my anxiety and panic, but you have me laughing so hard now that I can't remember what I was going to write. I'll post later when I stop laughing at you and your plates... I love you lady, you just make me smile.....

Oh! One more thing....Didn't SC tell you before that you need to get better plates to throw?!


((((HUGS)))) Fox

I hate anxiety and stress ! And others just don't understand - friends you loose just being confined to a life scared out of your mind

Please let them invent a pill that gets rid of anxiety like a flu

I am sick of the discrimination and stigma that I face on a daily basis. I am able to hold down a job and I want to work but no one is willing to give me a chance to prove myself. This cycle I am stuck in just makes me depressed.

FOX,

I'm just going to bump this up to the top if you don't mind. I really enjoy reading this thread and feel like every day something new comes along to "vent" about.

BTW, this was a great idea Hibee!

Saturdays are a nasty day of the week for me.  Every Saturday my hubby goes up north for the day and for some dang reason this does me in.  I plan ahead on staying in the moment and remembering that he will be back home by late afternoon but for some reason I break down and cry.............

The anxiety sky rockets along with all those negative feelings of wondering if there is anyone that truly needs me in their life anymore,  is this all I will ever be is an anxious, depressed, and whimpy person sitting here feeling frozen in place ? I feel so alone and sad.

I want one good friend in my life, one that I can laugh with, go places with and feel like I used to 6 years ago.  I hate my life and feeling like this. Why me Lord ?

I broke down and called my daughter - bad me !  She cannot handle her Moms mental health problems as she is busy and my calling her upsets her.  So I vow again to not bother people, they do not want me to come to them with my problems.  I cry alone.

I don't even feel like throwing paper plates today.

Kitt

Anxiety,

You are a worthless piece of CRAP! I hate you with all of my being! Why can't you just leave me and my friends alone??? Why does it always have to be the good people that you so relentlesly attack? Why don't you go spew your hatred and mind games onto the people in this world that truly deserve it, like murderers, child molesters, rapists, etc...???

As of this moment, I am making a vow to take my life back!!! It is no longer your toy to just toss around and treat badly. I AM IN CONTROL!!! I am telling you to leave, once and for all, and NEVER come back!!!

You have destroyed so many good people's lives. You are EVIL, and I am a child of God, therefor I WILL win this battle because I have God standing behind me, and He will never let me fall!!! Be gone with your sorry self, and go bother the people who really deserve to be tortured!!!

All my hate.....FOX

Ooops, I forgot and just posted it now. Author,  Tyron Edwards (1809–1894) was an American theologian.  We actually never met.

Walmart is having a sale on paper plates, Foxy, so if I can get past the anxiety I am on my way to buy a years supply.  I do reuse them but I have to remember not to mix them in with the ones we use to eat from. 

Anxiety sucks - and I hate to admit it but I fear my latest med has pushed my anxiety up yet I hate to give up on the med.  So what to do -  I wish someone could just tell me what to do about you, Anxiety, as you are toxic and I am feeling weak right now so you are taking advantage of me.  Stop It !

Hugs to all,

Kitt
