anxiety

A look at anxiety in its many forms and manifestations; what is the nature of this specific pattern of extreme fear and worry?

Anxiety And Depression
Okay, I have depression and anxiety because I'm a bipolar 1, so that comes with. My medical record even mentions major depressive disorder. Furthermore, my medical record mentions my "anxiety state," which means that I'm anxious all the time, every day. Although I do not get as many symptoms as I used to because of my heavy-duty antipsychotic medication such as Geodon, 140 mg, Buspar 20 mg, (four a day), Lamictal 25 mg, and Eschitalopram for my OCD. I have OCD, and CPTSD in addition to anxiety. I need more information about major depressive disorder. The thing is, I had a smidgen of diagnosis before I was diagnosed schizoaffective by a proper psychiatrist.

LIfes not a dream sweetheart
My mental health is bad at present, mainly a pile up of too many things at once. I know "join the club" , this is just my version of my present reality. One aspect I want to touch on is a part I don't really understand, dreams. These seem first of all to be worse when I am bad , strangely they also seem to be more vivid and memorable.

The “S” word
Your mind probably jumped straight to the word “sex” but that’s definitely your own dirty mind.. I’m talking about the heart throbbing, awkward hand gesturing and the terrifying challenges of socialising. For some of you it comes natural, f*ck you if it does by the way and for those suffering from depression and/or anxiety I can already feel you scanning down this page desperately attempting to find “the answer” to end the suffering. Nope, just a conversation diving deep into mental health and some personal experiences of mine. They won’t dramatically transform your life into a perfect Rom-com but it might make you feel a little less lonely; knowing there are others exactly like you. Crazy right?

Eternally Avoiding
My life has turned into avoiding parties or triggers while still maintaining a job and remembering to take care of myself. I work so that I have money like everyone else but within any job I've had there are always stress response triggers, but I'm currently in a minefield of emotions and triggers since I work most closely with other women... Which I feel bad for avoiding the parties or talking to people because I would love to have a social life aside from work again.

Dealing with Anxiety
Nothing is worse than having anxiety. Especially when you are someone capable of many things, someone who has the ability to do anything you put your mind to, someone who has the gift to work hard and dream big.

Hello, I have Anxiety.
Have you ever had that one friend who is always negative towards you. Not sure, whether its to help you or hurt you. Always breathing down your neck, telling everything wrong in your life, or magnifying the minor from the simplest thing.

Living with Anxiety
Let's start from the beginning I do have anxiety disorder I experience this feeling almost every day. Right now I am being treated with medication for it. If anyone feels that they might have this disorder please talk about it, there is help out there for it. Also, this can affect children as well as adults. Do not be ashamed of it please. More people than you think are in the same boat trust me. I kept this hidden from everyone, as soon I started to tell people. I had a lot of support.

So many people have told me that I have to learn how to cope with this feeling. Well...that's not a solution. That's giving up on searching for the real solution. We can rewire our brains, improve our health, and get to know our triggers. In doing so, we can attack anxiety instead of it attacking us! So, let's move onto the next few helpful tips.

Your My Insecurity
I have now found a new hobby and that is writing letters to parts of me that I struggle with. My mind and my thoughts are an endless battle. This battle originates from life experiences. I shouldn’t think that circumstances will continue to reoccur or if someone cheated me that means everyone else will. I should be strong enough to know I need to heal and not to drag anyone into my darkness. Everyone goes through trauma, heartbreak or loss in their life, if it starts to affect your wellbeing and relationship then working on them is vital.
