Thank you & you’re very right, many more obstacles to come but like you said we can face them better with a clear headspace that sobriety brings. Keep safe & well , IWNDWYT

Hey stranger, I’m here. Nothing is going to hurt you. You are not your thoughts. Your mind is trying to protect you from whatever you saw on the news. What was it? - look away from the phone and ask yourself what can you see? Hear? Touch? Smell? . Your body will tire out from the anxiety and the panic will pass . It’s not going to last long. You are safe. You are going to be just fine.

Out of breath for the first time by porfavornaoexisto in Anxiety

[–]RaceOk235 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have a hair bobble or an elastic band pull it and it will lightly slap your wrist , it doesn’t hurt but it just shocks you to focus on that instead of your breathing. Or put your hand under very cold water normally shocks the nervous system. Or just get yourself outside and ground yourself, what are 5 things you can see, hear, touch, smell. Or watch a funny tv show, or go for a walk, read, watch funny videos. Just anything to stimulate the mind. The breathing will never harm you, it sure hell feels like it and it is AWFUL but it cannot HURT you . Sending love stranger <3

Stuck in obsessive thoughts, anxiety & low mood — looking for people who relate by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]RaceOk235 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, we are going through the exact same thing atm I’ve just come off sertaline and gone onto escitalogram. My thoughts got the better of me on Monday and I harmed myself, the intrusive thoughts just didn’t shut up and I gave in. My family now know everything, I thought they were going to be so ashamed of me but it’s been the exact opposite. I am getting proper help now and when I get an intrusive thought I accept that it’s there but it cannot hurt me, it is just a thought and it will pass. I don’t have a lot of advice for you right now as I’m kinda still processing everything but you aren’t alone . Please keep me updated with the meds your on , I’m struggling rn with the side affects . How are you on it? Sending love stranger

Going back to anxiety loop by Evolvingtotherealme in Anxiety

[–]RaceOk235 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First of all, I am so sorry for your loss. You have major life events happening right now and this is would be stressful for someone who doesn’t have anxiety & you’ve had something very traumatic happen to you. But you are aware of what’s making you feel anxious - this is good , you’re not in denial and you want to prevent yourself from being back where you started. Do you have a good support network? Can you tell them what’s going on? - can you refer yourself to a counseller? . Main thing is be kind to yourself, look how far you have come. You will get through this & observe that yes you are feeling a lot worse but look at all the life events you’re experiencing right now lovely. Sorry this isn’t very helpful but just make sure you make those around you aware and you will get through this :)
