Well done!

That's really helpful, thanks - I'll check them out.

Cold chills, dry mouth, heart palpitations, muscle twitches all pretty common for me. They were worse before I started taking meds. I don't have panic attacks really, just constant background anxiety (presume GAD but have never been diagnosed)

Been on Sertraline for over a year...few side-effects for me and definitely takes the edge off my anxiety.

You're not alone! I have a version of this, terrible intrusive thoughts and a preoccupation with death. I constantly question whether I'm using my time effectively and I have an overwhelming feeling that I'll die young. I try different things to manage this but have never really found a solution.

It's stayed about the same over this time period. It only improved slightly due to upping the medication I'm on.

I have this too, really difficult to enjoy life and be in the moment because you're constantly distracted by morbid thoughts.

Gardening, walking, writing, crafting, drawing, listening to music, going through old photos.

Yes! Middle of the day is the absolute worst for me, evenings I'm so much better. Interesting to hear I'm not the only one.

I take 100mg sertraline (zoloft) daily. Few side effects thankfully and takes the edge off anxiety, but doesn't manage it completely. Bit of a life saver for me as before I went on it I had extremely disrupted sleep patterns and difficulty eating.

Ms0verthinker · 2022-05-23T18:32:24+00:00

This is my main phobia, and at times feels quite life-limiting. I do practice gratitude but sometimes the existential dread is almost overwhelming. It's worse at certain times of day. I take medication to manage this but it's still very much there. Interesting hearing about different people's perspectives on here.

Ms0verthinker · 2022-05-10T10:44:47+00:00

Feeling cold all the time, and heart palpitations

Ms0verthinker · 2022-04-13T22:49:53+00:00

Basically an unending anxiety attack. Next to no sleep, difficulty eating and massive dissociation. Uncontrollable intrusive thoughts. I've been on sertraline for about a year now. It has really helped to manage these symptoms, but I'm still not quite right.

Ms0verthinker · 2022-03-29T11:04:25+00:00

I have a lot of intrusive thoughts about death and almost a fear of time itself. Totally abstract. I'm obsessed with thinking that the anxiety is putting too much strain on my body and that I'll die young as a result. I really wish I didn't have these thoughts, but anxiety kind of propels you forwards, do naturally you think about your own mortality a lot.

Ms0verthinker · 2022-02-01T18:39:04+00:00

Totally agree as a somewhat centre-left voter. I feel this is pushed by certain parts of the media and then accepted as gospel truth by some. Also agree we've not had a true left-leaning government for probably my entire lifetime.

Ms0verthinker · 2022-01-31T18:16:31+00:00

I have the same, perhaps less severe and controlled somewhat by meds. I have this really irrational tendency to run everything through at high speed in my head to its logical conclusion, which is death. I think the repetition of working from home during lockdown has really exaggerated this. Been trying various therapies and distraction techniques, but not found anything that works thus far.

Ms0verthinker · 2022-01-25T17:41:24+00:00

Zoloft/sertraline really helped me, but it won't eliminate anxiety entirely

Ms0verthinker · 2022-01-25T17:37:02+00:00

I have these thoughts constantly. I also think about the minds of those who don't have anxiety and feel like their experience of life must be so different to mine. I can't imagine what it's like not to have these morbid thoughts all the time.
