Some things that gives me anxiety:
- Travelling
- Sleeping away from home
- Being sorrounded by strangers
- Feeling locked, kind of claustrophobia
- Going to the hospital, doctor appointment...
- Problems with my family, if people around me are not okay and relaxed, I'm not okay and very anxious
- Going to a bar if I didn't was there before or if I didn't went there in a long time, I need a confort zone everywhere
- Being sick
- Being tired
- Start a new relationship, to me was impossible for 5 years...too scared, too anxious, too emotional. I'm in a relationship now, some days are better, some are harder, some are the worst...you know, it's not easy to be with someone when you're not okay, because when I'm anxious I'm not a nice person lol I'm so cold and distant :/
- Fighting with my friends and family, or anyone, fighting stresses me a lot and I only think about that all the time, very stressfull
- Jobs interviews
This are just examples, I'm a very anxious person, little things can affect me, if a client calls, the boss calls, being late, if I don't sleep enough time... That's the problem with anxiety, it's everywhere, and people don't understand how hard it is to live like this. The truth is that sometime I'm very very anxious because i'm afraid of being anxious...yes...that's right...
First comment I wrote didnt post. Everything you mentioned is what I deal with also. Its gotten so bad I can't drive anymore at all for the last year. My truck just sits there and I pay a cab. Very expensive. I can only go to work and straight home..stay inside aline for months. I was starting to drive just a mile to the grocery store then last out of the blue had a bad attack as soon as I pulled out. Legs were shaking so bad could barely work the peddles to turn around.. My heart was pounding so fast and head got all dizzy..almost passed out..what is wrong with me
ReplyDeleteHi :)
DeleteI know what you talking about :/ living with anxiety it's hard, we need to learn how to deal with this, it's not easy, at the beggining I didn't wanna deal with anything, was to stressful, my heart my legs breathing...so many bad feelings... With time, and help, I'm getting better, it's been 6 years now, I think, and I'm still fighting, still learning, still afraid and crying, I have bad days that I stay at home just to run away from anxiety and fears...It's hard but it's possible, be strong and believe, if you have faith pray, feel the hope and believe :) once you understand how your anxiety works, you live much better with it :)
