ANXIETY, PLS HELP

Long time past to seek medical help; no need to suffer like that nowadays.

Ya know there are some things that can’t be changed no matter what you do, you would know that if you went through real pain, imagine a brain, it can only go through so much damage before it’s irreversible, same as the mental health, my time is long due because of my mother, she is the one who brought me down to this level

Go to therapy

I did, my guy, it doesn’t help, and btw how can they help me when they don’t even understand what I’m going through, and did you not read my last post

If it's possible and you haven't yet, moving out would probably help.

If you've already moved out and it hasn't helped, or if you can't move out, spend as much time with people you like as possible. It helps a lot when you find "your people," and yes I am aware of how stupid and cliche that sounds but it helps so much. I've got a little circle of teammates and coaches now who I actually trust and it's really great to finally have people to rely on. It doesn't have to be many people and it can be one person, but find someone you trust and care about who cares about you too. It's weird and hard and awkward but it's so worth it because you'll know you have someone who can help you and you don't have to do everything alone.

Therapy is kind of hit or miss. I can't afford it so I've never gone but I have friends who went to therapy and from what they've said, it only really helps if you have a good therapist. Some of them have had really good experiences and therapy really helped, and some of them hate their therapists. Basically what I mean is that if it hasn't worked for you the first time, it could be worth giving it another try. Look for other therapists and read reviews so you can make a better decision. It might take a few tries before you find one you really like who actually helps, so just give it a chance. I'm not sure how therapy normally works but it's probably less about your therapist understanding what you went through and more about them listening and helping you process it.

What is your core fear? Sometimes calling it out makes it seem less powerful. You don't want to let it have any power over you. For most people, it is death. For some, it is being alone or the unknown.

How are you supposed to call out fear of death?

You can look at it more realistically and less emotionally. It's usually not death in the immediate sense - if it is, you can do exposure therapy (take enough flights and not die, you realize you are not going to die). If it is in the future, you can take steps now to prepare. If your goal is to leave the world a better place, OK go do it. If you are worried about what will happen to your loved ones, OK, make a financial plan, write a will, go crazy.

Please try to be better. This isn’t clever either.

What do you mean?

They mean that what OP meant by saying that they "come from a violent house" is very clear. Making jokes about it does nothing productive and comes off as insensitive. If you're going to troll, please choose a trivial post to do so instead of trolling a serious post and making light of someone else's issues.

Appreciate the help guys in this tough time and house intimate is obviously being a idiot, my issue is weird, I have severe shortness of breath which I am trying to improve and I get gassed very easily because of it, at some points during the day when I’m not thinking about it , it goes away and I start feeling so much better, but then thoughts such as will I be able to breathe as I used to, or I’ll just get really excited that I feel so much better and just overthink it, and also I have a paranoia where I feel as if someone who has done literally nothing to me try to say something to my face and I feel as if I have to defend myself, this happens with people that have rolled their eyes at me and I just tend to hold grudges and just think they’re going to say something nasty to me, sorry for the bad English I’m just spewing out my thoughts now lol

There are support groups for victims of choking in domestic abuse.

If writing/typing things out like that helps you, you could definitely keep doing it. I've never tried it personally but I've heard that journaling can help a lot, so if you think it might work for you I'd say try it out.

Guys please I need help with this, I’ve been struggling with anxiety for so long and it’s hindering my ability to do the things I want to do. I come from a violent house and someone can only take so much. Every time I get better, I always think that I won’t be able to breathe as well like I normally could and I won’t be good at running or I’ll get excited that I can finally breathe and live life normally again. Please anyone with this type of experience respond, I need help

PS: I also overthink things a lot too

Get the headspace app and learn meditation, watch some videos of Mingyur Rinpoche on youtube as well so you get develop a better life philosophy.

OP, if you are serious, please cease using the internet entirely, go to a doctor, and spend as much time outside as possible. No more Social Media, no more internet, get professional help as soon as possible.

This is basically what I was trying to say.

I also often suffer from anxiety and it is very difficult to get out of this period so that everyone around me does not know what to do to help me. Even if this is rare, it affects those around us anyway and I'm sorry that this is happening. For this reason, I started to buy kratom from https://sakratom.com and every time I have depression it helps me a lot so it is very good and I am very happy about it. Lately, I haven't had such periods at all and now I wouldn't even be scared if it appeared, because I already know how to solve it quickly.
