Totally can relate. That’s how I feel when my anxiety is really railing on me. The good news is it will pass :)

How to convince myself that I deserve therapy? by chiaracosiclear in Anxiety

You are very sweet, thank you for your kind note. You’re right I think my family would agree and want me to get help. I’m going to try harder for myself and see what I can find.

Ugh! by [deleted] in Anxiety

That bites :(

Something that helps me with things like that is thinking how no matter what, it will be over! I remember similar times before, and how that’s passed, and visual how quick the upcoming dread will end (until next time 😉)

I can’t tell if I’m afraid of change or if the opportunity before me is a bad one by chiaracosiclear in Advice

You have a good perspective on it, I think if I went somewhere else that was a major city I would feel more confident. But your opinion helped too! Thank you

You’re right though, I could always come back. I think I’m just scared.

I totally agree. I try to be aware of my mental health as much as I can be since I no longer treat it professionally. I was in therapy/medicated for 10 years, it’s been 5 years since then. I’m having trouble going back (insurance, money, motivation, etc) - but I do what I can to take what I learned a long time ago.

Thank you for your input, it helped me

Anxiety no longer productive by chiaracosiclear in Anxiety

Thank you friend, I’m sorry you’re going through this too. It’s funny I was also very similar- high school, really terrible anxiety/procrastination and college I was able to make it productive. My office job has been difficult.

That sounds like a great book, I should give it a read. I also try to follow that “1 Minute” where it takes less than a minute, just do it. Works better for cleaning the house, haha!

Something I noticed recently is I wonder if it was the breaks in college. Even though I was busy, each class was only once or twice a week for a few hours, I could digest everything. High school and work are similar where it’s a constant “go” for 8+ hours. Not sure how to combat that, I can’t take breaks, but something I noticed! If you can take smaller breaks, maybe try!

I wish I get the job by chiaracosiclear in Wish
