Anxiety Getting Worse and Ruining Your Life? This is why!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Anxiety can easily consume your whole life! Suddenly you are someone who is afraid of absolutely everything. Your health, social situations, getting out of the door, certain foods, and completely new phobias are very typical for someone suffering from an anxiety disorder.
The worst thing you do can when having an anxiety disorder is to avoid situations or alter behaviors just to feel better and not panic in that moment. By doing so you will keep feeding fears and are making sure that this sort of behavior is learned.
So now the next time you get into a similar situation, the brain will jump right back into high anxiety mode. A connection between the situation and the behavior is now created in your brain.
In conclusion you should never seek long term anxiety or panic attack relief but face your fears head on so that your mind can learn and process the situation as something harmless. Over time your body will react less stressed and vice versa with less anxiety symptoms.

You know what's horrible is anticipatory anxiety. You dread things that is about to happen even though it hasn't happened yet. This causes me sleepless nights.

[brandonlee]

The more you worry about anxiety the worse it gets, our minds are good at finding problems out of nothing

[Adam-lqfx]

Sometimes my anxiety sooo bad I feel like I’m having a 24/7 severe panic attack

[MICONMIC]

Im afraid it’ll get worse and change who I am, I love who I am, my friends and family love who I am. I know exactly who I am but deep down I do fear that it will get worse and ruin the person that I am. Hope anyone suffering from this can break free and overcome. 🙏🏽

this is the worst and i don’t wish it upon anyone. i struggled with severe anxiety for three months; it all started after i overheard that someone would get motion sick from the projector. i already had emetophobia at the time. so when i heard it, , i started to get worried thinking i was gonna throw up. i rushed to my teacher and told her i wasnt feeling so good. they sent me home. august 27, 2023. when it all started. then i became afraid of going to school in case of a school shooting, sleeping on my arms to lose blood circulation, sitting down in case i wasnt able to ever get up again, talking because what if i threw up every 3 seconds i talked, eating just in case i got food poisoning, cancer from accidentally getting whiteout on my skin, breathing because “what if my lungs get tired” driving because of car crashes, blinking because what if i got a seizure from the sudden blackout, and more. guys looking back at it, these were hella silly. but i was genuinely afraid of them. it got so bad that at one point, i tasted things metallic (everything tasted like metal) i did so much better and got lots of improvement by december 2023 aa i remembered these were such silly fears and i should try and improve. no one else is like this, there are rainbows and cute stuff, blah blah. so yah im doing much better now, i have a flight soon and i’m scared of airplanes. but i did this willingly and im so proud of myself.

I just developed SEVERE anxiety earlier this last year (July 9th 2020). It crippled me. I called an ambulance 2 times in 2 days, thinking it was a heart attack. Lost my job, and could barely walk to the mail box without wondering if I would black out. Heart palps, hot flashes, dizziness, confusion, ^ blood pressure, Heart beating 120 times a minute at rest, etc....

6.5 months later, it's still bad, but I'm managing it. I'm back to work, at a different hospital, and I'm able to function relatively normally considering I served in the military, and became an electrician for 12 years not afraid of anything, and capable of everything.

It can hit anyone at any time. Period. And the only way to beat it, is to live with it (and medication which I'm on now).

I still get dizzy, and hot flashes, and faint feeling at times. Especially when at work and a code is called. But the more you do the things you fear doing, the more you realize it's all in your head, and you can overcome it. Don't check your heart rate, oxygen, or blood pressure at home, as this will only make your anxiety worse (as I found out). When you feel anxious, or like an attack is imminent. Say to yourself "It's just anxiety". That's what I've been doing daily. Face the fear, and the fear will diminish, for the most part.

You are a godsend in sharing this information. My heart weeps for all the ppl commenting on their similar struggles. I have them too and it’s horrific. So so scary. I literally feel like I’m shaking often times. I sending all much love and pray everyone will find recovery.

[Stevejoohee]

I so relate. I am so tired from decades of anxiety and fear.

[parslayergolf]

Bro I’m literally in tears for you man I suffer from this every second man but I still push myself to go out or play golf or run even if I think it’s going to kill me. But I feel your emotions 💯

[ethanashe]

Dude this guy hit the nail on the head. Especially like when talking about the clogged arteries and constantly having more things make you anxious. Such a helpful video.

[documentedrecords]

I been living with this anxiety for 35 years of my life. It never went away.

[kaaynn-rn]

It’s so miserable. I’m still in school and whenever I’m forced to talk, my heart races so fast that my voice gets super shaky and I’m unable to breathe properly. It’s worse when people notice how nervous and panicky you are, that they give you a judgmental look. Those little actions get replayed in your head all day, you can’t concentrate anymore and you just feel like breaking down. This whole anxiety shit just fuels my insecurities way higher than it should be and I’m seriously worried for my future.

[VBando]

My anxiety is so bad I cant even go out to eat, sleep and I cant even smell certain things

[Iconictelevision]

I’m dealing with this. 25 and excited about starting a job I’ve been working toward and putting effort into schooling for.. the first day I quit. Overthinking and having quiet panic attacks.

I thought I was the only person who suddenly develops new phobias out of nowhere. I became obsessed with blood cots when I used to take birth control. And we absolutely will not mention the last 1.5 years of the pandemic.

Thank you God bless anyone who is struggling 🙏

[Molybed]

This has been my life for 8 years straight.

[alinawaz]

I am suffering with something exactly like that especially the fears about health. At first it use to come and go when I was ill but in this pandemic lockdown this has gone bonkers. I hope you can share more

[yum]
