I'm doing pretty crap if I'm being honest. Health anxiety is basically taking over my life. What makes it worse is that I'm only 15, and I should be able to enjoy each day while they last, but anxiety says otherwise.

The part where you talk about watching videos related to anxiety is so true, and I'm so guilty of that. I feel like, at the beginning, you start watching them to find a way out and motivate yourself, but after a while it just becomes a way to remind yourself everyday that you're not alone. The problem is that, meanwhile, you're also tricking yourself into thinking that you're doing something about it, but in reality you're just watching a bunch of videos and reading other people's experiences without acting. Maybe we actually end up giving anxiety more importance than it deserves. Man, I'm so sick of it...

This is exactly it. I used to spend so much time on what I thought was working on anxiety, when in reality it was just keeping all those thoughts and feelings alive. The moment I switched my attention was the beginning of this progress.

Have you been taken an SSRI at all? I’m struggling with depression as well as anxiety so feel like I really can’t be bothered going out as I don’t find joy in anything even when I do, which fuels my anxiety! I think I’m lonely too, Iv been single for 6 years as I’m too anxious to go on dates. It’s a viscous circle . Thanks for the video, it’s great to see you doing so well!

@carrierogers2797 unfortunately we both have depression exacerbated by severe anxiety as you say. Or is that vice-versa? Does the anxiety feed off the depression or the other way around?? Yes!! It IS A VICIOUS CIRCLE and it ain't playing around. I have spent years of my life searching. Searching. Searching for what sets me apart that causes my body to rebel, my heart pounds, my scalp crawls and sweats. If I'm having a good day I only tremble. Otherwise, my shaking becomes a jerking of my hands. I've called them the "nervous jerks" since I was around 10. I've been living with anxiety my ENTIRE LIFE. My parents would have validated that statement but they are deceased. My father, for various reasons, found it necessary to write my mom a letter. In this letter, without asking about my brothers, he wrote "How's Donna, she's such a nervous little thing." I was 8 years old. So no one can be any more empathic than I towards others with anxiety. I have sat through HOURS, 100's of hours, in intensive outpatient settings searching for the elusive answer to Why???? Why? Why am I like this? Why does my body betray me by noticeably shaking, my heart pounding, sweaty, all THIS!! And more. My anxiety is a tricky wench. I'm thinking "Oh, I'm gonna be okay today. Thank you Lord" but not for me. Out of the blue I feel myself starting to "get wound up" and then the fight is on. My anxiety manifests itself in a physical way. Out where the world can see. And, shortly thereafter I'm a mess. This has been lifelong. And getting a benzo from a doctor that suggested I start with Xanax.Then 8 years in he moves out of town and I'm no longer a patient. Mad scramble for a shrink that would even CONSIDER prescribing a benzo much less Xanax. I tapered MYSELF off of 6mgs a day to 1/2mg twice a day This new NP I found took me off of 60 per month to 55 tabs a month. Wth?? She is concerned about addiction because I've been on them for many years. I talked to my daughter, who's on staff at the local Methadone clinic as well and a licend therapist and she was shocked. So 4 to 5 days a month I have to "white knuckle" it while trying to maintain my sanity and have only a half mg to help manage my debilitating anxiety. My daughter and I chalked up the N.Ps behavior to that of setting a feather in her cap. Brownie points with the doctor. Maybe a little high from the thrill of making my life hellish and making me feel powerless. From her acting like she's God in my life by doling out Xanax. But I got news...Xanax does not control me. I control the Xanax. After tapering myself off of 6mgs of Xanax a day to 1mg per day I think I should be applauded. I'll even go 2 or 3 days without letting myself go into withdrawals just to prove to myself that I can. And this NP is a moron if she thinks 1mg a day split into 2 doses is practicing good medicine then I am the moron. Because I must be missing something. I consider myself to be on a maintenance dose only. I ought to quit altogether. Except. Like the temporary Shrink I had that DID NOT write Xanax, as he said told me "You need your Xanax". And wrote a script to me for, wait for it...XANAX!! Told me I was the ONLY one he wrote those for in the whole clinic. Okay, I'm dependent on them. But I'm dependent on my antidepressant, my mood stabilizers, my sleeping pills. But I'm dependent on water. It is a necessity!! I'm dependent on my daughter's love, dependent on money, dependent on hundreds of different things. And quite possibly I'm dependent on things I'm not even positive about. I guess I'm just a well-grounded addict. Addicted to things from the get go. Jeepers, I started rambling. But having someone else to have discussions with about my mental illness is soothing to me. Other people go through all this crap too?? They can empathize? I'm really not alone? Do I dare believe that they too are flying around with a broken wing? It's NOT just me? I can only hope that I'm not in this by myself. But I'm putting myself out there in an effort to connect to who are ,unbelievably to me, suffering in this same exquisite pain that our life's have revolved around. Because my life DOES revolve around my psychiatric drugs. Oops, my medications. So, after all that maybe I am just a drug addict. Yeah, I think so. Because if I don't have my Pristiq, my antidepressant, I will go places that I never want to go. Or go back to. I suppose you are my next addiction. At least you won't be alone in your anxiety because I dwell there.
