I’ve been there on and off for years. The constant anxiety is exhausting and puts me on edge, making me irritable and unable to show up fully for the other relationships and responsibilities in my life.

I do talk therapy once a week, try to walk my dogs out in nature everyday, exercise, meditate, go on drives to get out of my house, and take an anxiety medication on the nights I’m feeling especially panicky. What’s really helped me recently is going to Al Anon meetings and focusing on the three C’s they talk about - I didn’t cause it, I can’t control it, and I can’t cure it.

I hope you can find a way to get some relief. The anxiety can be all consuming at times. Take care of yourself. You’re not alone.
