Im suffereing from severe pressure and anxiety lately from stress and I just.. I just dont know. No where on this planet is appealing, I want to live near family but I need my friends around and theres no nice people where im located or anywhere else for that matter. I feel like a life brat sometimes when I say its all just to hard but it is sometimes and right now, its just to darn hard and so much effort and now i dont know where im going with myself. Someone talk to me about anything please, if this makes sense or relates to you in anyway I dlike to hear what you have to sayI think Ive lost it
Hey NeoPsy,
I THINK I can relate to what you're saying. I'm 25 yrs old, graduated from college in 2011 and have MAJOR generalized anxiety. I worry every single day. I don't like where I am currently am - where I live and my job. Very dissatisfied. Anxiety and stress can truly overwhelm a person and keep them going in a constant circle leaving them feeling quite helpless. My anxiety has literally kept me stuck. Feeling STUCK yet your mind constantly racing IS torture. Please do NOT feel like a life brat. Don't feel that you aren't allowed to feel these emotions. Life IS hard. I don't know how old you are but for some reason, I imagine you being in your twenties or thirties. Maybe I'm wrong. Regardless of age, life is ALWAYS hard. And its even HARDER for those dealing with a mental disorder. We really do have more of a disadvantage because we lack coping skills. So no, you are not a brat by any means.
I USED to be on zoloft and it helped with social anxiety but not my generalized or my depression. I eventually got off due to sexual side effects. Last year though, my psychologist highly recommended i go on meds and i fought him every step of the way to NOT go on them. I never went on them. This summer, i got a new therapist who i really like, she's much better. She also keeps urging me to go on meds although she knows my stance on them. She literally thinks my anxiety is hindering me from being successful and keeping me in circles.
To be quite honest with you, I am just SO SO tired of suffering, I just said f*ck it, lets try the antidepressants again. Lets just TRY it. Why not? Just for a bit of time so I can gain some mental clarity and effectively LEARN coping skills to manage stress.
Not sure where you live but there is MSBR mindfulness stress based reduction that Little Archer has once mentioned to me as a very effective type of therapy. I looked it up and it sounds great. I went to orientation before for it but unfortunately its 500 bucks for 8 sessions. i don't have that money.
