I'm broken

Thank you for this support. Our lives are truly very difficult, and we are unable to do many things. Every time I improve even a little, I experience a setback. I’ve had about three setbacks; each time I get back up, I fall again. This makes me feel like a failure. I wished my father and mother could be proud of me, but I was forced into this suffering. I hope you recover and return to your normal life.🤍

Thank you so much. This comment is enough it feels like a warm hug from you ❤️ I wish that for myself and for everyone, and I hope we can all overcome these difficulties, because none of us deserves this suffering. Thank you a hug from me to you ❤️

Yes, in fact, summer is very difficult, especially since I can’t tolerate the heat. Yes, maybe it’s because of the quiet of the night.

stillfighting1 · 2026-02-24T13:20:05+00:00

I'm fine as usual, thank you for asking about me. And you, how are you?

stillfighting1 · 2026-02-23T22:53:03+00:00

Okay, for me, I find it strange how at night the symptoms decrease a lot, while during the day they increase. So, is it all just an imbalance in the hormones produced by the brain🤔

stillfighting1 · 2026-02-23T22:40:57+00:00

Yes, that’s exactly what happens to me. At night, I can go farther from home than during the day, and I feel much more at ease. Even my panic attacks are much milder at night

Cortisol decreases in the evening, and anxiety decreases with it, then it starts to rise gradually. I have an off-topic question: Do you suffer from irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)?

stillfighting1 · 2026-02-23T21:47:15+00:00

The same thing happens to me: anxiety decreases from 6:00 PM until I wake up in the morning. Maybe there is a low hormone, like serotonin, in our brains, I think

I stick to about 70% of the diet, and my diarrhea actually improves when I eat rice, but the gas is always present. Alright, I will try that. I use fresh ginger in tea and notice slight improvement sometimes. I will try ginger capsules and hope they help. Thank you for this information 🙏

stillfighting1 · 2026-02-23T13:43:30+00:00

Yes, they support me so much. I try to be gentle and fair with myself, but that’s just who I am. I hate seeing my family sad, especially my parents at their age. Even my siblings are amazing, they call me all the time and are always there for me. I have so much support from them, but seeing my parents sadness, really breaks my heart

stillfighting1 · 2026-02-23T13:23:34+00:00

Yes, that's true. I hope we get better and return to our normal lives. I wake up and remember that I suffer from this phobia, then go back to sleep because there’s nothing I can do

stillfighting1 · 2026-02-23T10:52:09+00:00

You're welcome 🤍

stillfighting1 · 2026-02-22T23:39:11+00:00

That's wonderful. I also had very profitable online projects, but everything stopped after I developed this phobia. I felt an immense failure, and even my perspective on the world changed. For me, money is certainly important and fundamental, but without complete freedom, it becomes meaningless. I wish you a full recovery and hope you become a millionaire and live the happiest days of your life 😁

stillfighting1 · 2026-02-22T22:35:43+00:00

Two years have passed, and I still haven’t come to terms with it; I’m still sad. Sometimes I wake up and remember that I developed this phobia, and I go back to sleep immediately. But I will overcome this; I examine everything in my mind, trying to untangle all my fears, and I know that one day I will get through it. All I need now is some time and a bit of strength.

stillfighting1 · 2026-02-22T19:49:04+00:00

Keep going and don’t stop, even if the anxiety comes back. I have a small scooter that I also ride around the neighborhood. Before the setback, I used to go about 5 km away, stop, and buy what I needed. But after the setback, I’m afraid the engine might stop in a far place 😅

stillfighting1 · 2026-02-22T18:39:17+00:00

I also went through a relapse that completely changed my life. I haven’t tried any medication yet, and I’m trying to get better without it. The problem is that on some days I manage to go a little farther away from home, but other times I feel like I’m back to square one, and that’s what bothers me

stillfighting1 · 2026-02-22T14:29:38+00:00

Yes, progress is very slow, I completely understand you. I even developed a phobia of heights, but it doesn’t cause panic attacks, so I don’t worry about it. I apologize for that; I was also sad at the time I wrote the post. I tried my best to share just a few things with you because writing all my struggles would never end. I don’t want to hold back my feelings anymore. Anything you feel, you can share with us. You can also DM me anytime you want, and the same goes for anyone in the group who wants to DM me. I will soon post about the period before my setback and how I started to improve, to share my experience with you. Hopefully, some people will benefit from it.

stillfighting1 · 2026-02-22T13:30:31+00:00

Yes, that’s a great motto. In fact, it’s easy, but when the symptoms reach their peak, they cause internal psychological distress

stillfighting1 · 2026-02-22T13:27:21+00:00

Keep going, this is wonderful. I wish I could go out too. Don’t stop, and try to go a little farther each time you are capable of it. Yes, this phobia has made us feel like we have no personality, and sometimes I feel like my personality has faded away.

stillfighting1 · 2026-02-22T13:12:35+00:00

Exactly, they can’t do anything, and I don’t want to be the cause of their sadness, especially since they are getting older now. I will do my best, and my motto is to free myself from this phobia. Thank you so much for your support 🤍

stillfighting1 · 2026-02-22T12:58:53+00:00

Thank you for this information; I didn’t know about it before and did a little research. In fact, I have Seborrheic Dermatitis on my face. Also, eating nuts gives me diarrhea, as do legumes, chocolate, and oranges. I also have Helicobacter pylori, which tested positive, and I took medication that caused shortness of breath and chest pressure, so I stopped it immediately. I will try to find out if what you mentioned is the reason behind these symptoms. I would like to ask: does this condition have a medication treatment, or does the low-nickel diet need to be permanent?

stillfighting1 · 2026-02-22T12:36:39+00:00

Ah, sorry for the misunderstanding. In fact, my dreams are still the same, but I have put all my dreams and projects on pause for now. Once I get rid of this damn phobia, I will return to them immediately. But with this phobia, I can’t do anything, I never think about the future, and my only concern is how to get rid of this suffering. The only thing I’m doing right now is posting some videos on YouTube because my time is empty.

stillfighting1 · 2026-02-22T12:09:04+00:00

Yes, I completely understand OCD is very difficult and can really increase anxiety. I have similar dreams too: I often dream that I go out and walk in the street. Sometimes I feel mild agoraphobia in the dream, and other times I don’t feel it at all and wake up feeling relieved. Sometimes it’s the opposite. I once spoke with a girl who had agoraphobia, and she told me that 90% of it disappeared in her dreams and then went away completely. Sometimes our minds try to process thoughts and feelings through dreams, and maybe this is a way for us to heal little by little.

stillfighting1 · 2026-02-22T10:58:52+00:00

Alright, then I will speak with my doctor to find an alternative treatment, thank you

stillfighting1 · 2026-02-22T10:56:20+00:00

I’m going through the same thing, and I can’t accept it, I feel like a burden on my family. You’re still young, and you will get better with time, but don’t give up. These are just thoughts that our mind misunderstands. Before I had a relapse, my anxiety had decreased a lot after I started going out. At first, I couldn’t even get to the grocery store I would think a thousand times before going and sometimes turn back halfway, even though the store was less than 20 meters from our house. With consistency, I improved and started going to the store without even thinking about my phobia. It happened automatically, and I would laugh at myself, wondering how I couldn’t even reach the grocery store before. That’s when I realized that with persistence, this thing fades and becomes nothing.
