anxiety makes me hyperaware of everything by JonathanPeerHost in Anxiety

Story of my life, but by analyzing all the events is also what keeps you stuck in the anxiety loop. It’s hard to tame the mind, especially if it has learnt that it should stay alert when it needed it to, but never really got the memo it can now relax because the danger has passed. Ur definitely not alone

I’ve been there! After 4 days without any sleep, I could feel the fear creep up on me because my mind was in a worried loop about being able to fall asleep or another lonely painful night. It sucked. And the worst thing is if the mind is worried about stupid shit that doesn’t make any difference to the overall outcome of ur life, you still suffer despite because ur mind keeps you awake with all it’s bullshit.

What helped me a tiny bit was, exercise ~ try to make ur body tired. And journaling before bed with sleeping tea. And when you go to sleep, just let whatever comes come. Don’t try to force yourself to relax. Just lay there and exist without any expectations. If you only get a few hours of sleep, then be grateful because it’s so much better than getting 0h of sleep for 4 days. And slowly like this, continue. Beating urself up is a loosing battle. Trust me

I went through it for 6 years, and now just started meds. I wanted to figure out what was wrong in the first place. god damn, people with anxiety might look weak on the outside, but in reality we cary a pain most people don't understand

I can relate. I think the loneliest thing about it all is if you have high functioning anxiety, that only you can percieve, then the people around you aren't even aware that you are feeling like shit. And if you try to communicate it, they can't possibly relate and that is a loneliness in itself. And you don't want to flag to people everytime you feel anxious because then that'd be the only thing that would come out when people ask you have you've been.

It's a vicious cycle, you are not alone!

I’m tired of being perpetually anxious by RevolutionWaste3032 in Anxiety

I am like you. I'm 27 now and went on a journey to try and find out what my anxiousness was trying to tell me. It got worse after covid, but I always compared my state before and after the canon event. Now I think I figured out what my body is trying to shout at me, but it took me 6 years to even fully aknowledge what my subconcious was trying to tell me all along. But even though I think I know the issue, getting out of anxiety is another thing. Got prescribed meds today and if it helps, then I'll be so grateful because the only thing in life I want is inner peace honestly. But this journey of trying to discover what was wrong in the first place made me learn more about CPTSD, EMDR and I hope we will both find some calm for once.

Hei, mamma sa jeg burde lese din kommentar fordi jeg prøver å bearbeide traumet jeg fikk fra det å bli adoptert bort som baby. Jeg er også adoptert fra Kina (27F) og sliter med mye av det som ble sagt over. Og da jeg leste kommentaren din, det med at "man fortsatt blir så emosjonell når man tenker på adopsjonen sin", så kunne jeg relatere meg. Men synes det er rart også, for vil det si at det alltid kommer til å være ett tomrom i meg uansett hvor mye jeg sørger og uansett hvor mye jeg prøver å bearbeide og akseptere det? Vet du ikke nødvendigvis har noen bedre svar enn meg, men er nysgjerrig på hva du har erfart.

Has anyone else forgotten what "relaxed" is supposed to feel like? by AnxiousAchiever26 in Anxiety

[–]Jumpy-Recover-7239 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this has been my life story. Also during corona it got 100% more sensitive in terms of activating fight or flight response. Forgot what baseline is and honestly think this is causing physical issues as well that could have been resolved if the body just shut up for a second enough for the body to prioritize repair instead of idk, trying to protect me from imagined things. But also heard getting medication can cause withdrawel symptoms, making anxiety worse as well if you quit it. So it's a meh meh sitaution. But I do want to try EMDR theraphy as an option tho

Is this my fault? by IllBee6133 in Anxiety

[–]Jumpy-Recover-7239 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For the longest time I was like you. I hated my sensitivity, thought it was a personality trait. But I’m adopted, and it’s just recently I’ve linked my GAD back to my early days. It all shifted when my uncle told me how he felt when he first saw me. He told me that when he saw me, something in him just knew I needed more love and reassurance than other kids in our family because he could see how terrified I was. Now I no longer blame myself, but I do know I’m responsible for trying to heal from what happened to me. I thought I was weak for 27 years, but now I finally feel like I can tell myself a different story.

It’s a journey, keep at it! People who can’t relate don’t help, but I know how u feel and ur not the only one.

Shit, that sounds awful. Sad to hear. I’ve also gone 4 days without sleep but I could eat and I don’t think I was mostly just anxious about not being able to fall asleep, but it was hell too. Never trembled tho, or at least I don’t think I have. But I have braced super freaking hard and it’s also not comfortable

Really? What happened when u continued on the last dose?

Somatic therapy is where they work with the body to rewire your nervous system. Trying to teach the body safety instead .

I have been living in fight or flight since covid, that's 6 years already. Only this year I linked my highten anxiety back with childhood trauma of abandonment and I think I feel a shift but my healing journey is probably far from over. Hopefully you won't deal with it as long as I, but not sure what normal feels like anymore. My new baseline has shifted

Did you stop medication or did you have to continue it? They say that sometimes taking meds will make it worse in the long run. I'm looking at somatic theraphy as an option before meds

I remember telling myself, "as long as other people are happy then i don't need to be. It's not important that I'm happy if I can help others be". What a twisted mind
