I am sorry that you are going through this. Anxiety can take its toll on us both physically and mentally in my opinion. It can rob us of our identities and just make us feel run down and depressed. But suffering from chronic anxiety is serious...it is a serious illness that must be treated in my experience.
Having a positive outlook will definitely help you on this, but confronting and learning about it will enable you to beat this in my experience with this. Have you sought help for this? Do you have access to therapy? For me, the knowledge gained from this, gave me the motivation to understand and deal with it. Keep us posted!
Good to see that someone so soon has seen my post. Are you a fellow sufferer or a pscychologist or ??? I don't know whether you have access to my profile, but if you do, please read. I have had so much going on emotionally over the last 20 years, that quite honestly I am not at al surprised that I have anxiety! I am a strong person I feel that I have used up all of my strength in that time with no reserves and inside myself I am still fighting but with no fuel and therefore feel drained, weak, fatigued, can't eat, like to rest, take my time, cry sometimes, am on constant alert for my ex- husband's bi polar episodes even though they are not as often now, yet use any strength I have. My brain and thoughts chatter away about what could have been, what will be, and how will things turn out and I question my decisions, my losses keep looming, I have FM too which doesn't help. I question whether I have depression,although not diagnosed, just anxiety and PTSD. Bit of a mess from a once altogether person. I question whether this is 'getting older' symptoms!!!!???? on top of it all. Don't know. Just want answers to overcoming it. Thanks again.
