Anxious Mess

[Seek221]

Firstly, I want to apologise from complaining. I’m just hoping that writing things down on here will help, particularly if people understand.

I don’t know if anyone else experiences this but I’m just like one big ball of anxiety at the moment. I have been feeling so overwhelmed and on edge, feeling all tensed up constantly so that by the end of the day I’m exhausted.
I’m in a constant state of panic, almost having to recite to myself and remind myself that I’m safe.

I find it so hard to concentrate at work. The second that I arrive, I just want to go and shut myself away from everyone and everything. I don’t know whether I want to hide, scream or cry…maybe all of them!

Hi @Seek221,

Yes, I have started feeling anxiety a few years ago and especially in the last few months. I find myself sometimes not breathing properly, and my heart beating erratically. And I also have trouble concentrating at work.
It is a really awful thing to go through, and I’m sorry you’re going through it as well. One of the things that has made more sense to me recently is that we should address the causes of the anxiety, since it is something that can have such long-lasting consequences on our health.

Yes sweetie i do I have rotten anxiety.
Something that helps me is a counting technique.
You go 1-3 2-4 3-5 4-6 5-7 6-8 upto 100
It sounds bonkers but try it when that anxiety hits you try it.
Brethe deep and try it.
Sending you hugs xx

Yes, although I’m still in the same house as mine when I told him it was finally over, my brain went into overdrive for a good few weeks, thinking of every step of our relationship, every conversation, the anxiety was horrible. But I recently realised it’s definitely reduced and is slowly easing, so a you’re recently free I’m not surprised your body is reacting. Like you say it’s been on hyper attentive mode for so long it’s like a computer and is now taking time to process and debug your brain. x
