Fear

Fear

Hi there

I’ve never posted on here before. Unfortunately, I feel I have got to a point in my life where I need to reach out to try and connect with others that may share my experiences. This place seems welcoming and people appear to actually respond.

I used to be a really fearless person and have lived a life full of variety and challenging experiences. But earlier in the year, I was hospitalised for my mental health. It wasn’t a long admission, but since then, I have struggled with constant fear of anything and everything and have been on a mixture of different medications, changing them up to see what works. Nothing seems to be working and I have reached a point of constant existential anxiety and vertigo.

I see a psychologist every so often, have an amazing partner and do receive some support from my GP. But I just feel so alone in this experience.

It would be wonderful to connect with others that have daily struggles with their mental health. Anyone out there have anxiety? I would love to talk

thank you

Jandie

Re: Fear

I can relate to your anxiety and the mind can play tricks on us. I think anxiety can rob us of confidence just challenge those fear thoughts.

I used to find Lifeline phone counselling helpful. Anxiety yes one Counsellor said You can get caught up in it this helped me to let it go. Best of luck and treat yourself to a relaxing week maybe a Massage.
