Anxiety is taking overmy life

[adriannamichelle]

hi i have been suffering with anxiety for about ten years now. i feel asthough it is getting progressively worse. i feel as though i am in a fog...not in the real world...im living outside of the real world looking in...it is very scary. im extremely lethargic and always drowsy and tired. i can sleep almost anywhere. i dont realy hava family at all. i live with my boyfriend who is extremely verbally abusive. i had a very bad childhood. heavy anxiety in my household constantly. i have never been to a doctor for these problems because i am scared it is something bad. im always convinced i have cancer or am dying of something every day. i am only 21 and i am definately a hypochondriac. Its been getting so bad that my appetite is supressed..and when i want to excercise like i used to i cant muster up the strength in me. HELP! watiss wrong with me!

I am so sorry that you are going through such a hard time right now.  I do agree that you are more than likely suffering from anxiety as well as depression.  

You really need to see your dr for help.  You also may consider seeing a psychatrist.  Together you will be able to come up with a treatment plan that will help get you back on the road to feeling normal.

You can overcome this but you need to get to the bottom of what is causing your anxiety.  I hope you can get better so you can gather the strength you need to get out of the verbally abusive relationship you are in.  

Please know you are not alone...You can get better, I know you can!!!  Sending lots of love your way!!!

I am not a Dr and I can not diagnose you, but it sounds like you not only have anxiety but severe depression too. These two things can usually go hand in hand. Is there any way you can see a Dr? It may take a couple of visits, or more for you to get a diagnosis of depression and anxiety. I think counseling would be a great idea for you. Meds can really help alot as far as helping anxiety and depression too. If you can do all of this and start feeling better you may want to think about getting out of this abusive relationship. I really am sorry to hear your going through this. We're here to support you and help any way we can.
