...See more Hi all, it’s been awhile since I’ve been here and I thought I was improving. But, tonight while having dinner I felt the anxiety coming on. I’m not sure what’s brought it on. Possibly lately I’m not happy with my life and work has been stressful.
Moments of clarity occur at the odd moments - possible claustrophobia

...See more I was at the gym today, pedaling on the stationary bike and I was thinking about my anxiety and what could be triggering it. And it finally hit me, I believe its some measure of claustrophobia. Generally I am not claustrophobic but the thought of being in a closed room with a running a/c unit does bring it up. As I thought it about it, I had similar feeling of anxiety when alone in some hotel rooms. I did some reading and found that clautrophobia is anxiety issue. I'm just wondering if anyone else has had claustrophobia and how did they deal with it.

...See more With my anxiety, I’ve had some difficulty with getting restful sleep. I go to bed fine but a few hours later I find myself awake and having difficulty going back to sleep which bit am sure is anxiety related.I usually end up going on my computer until I tire myself out and fall asleep. I’m curious how you all handle sleep difficulties

...See more I know coping with anxiety is hard. And I’ve been down that road many a times. One thing that has helped me is to “get out of my head” so to speak. As I have noted what feeds anxiety is over-thinking. I’ve found distractions help, going to a gym helps. My biggest obstacle was me, and when I discovered that “staying out of my head” helps a lot. My gym trainer calls it “staying in the moment” and not let your mind run off on some wild thoughts.
It has come back somewhat

...See more I’m no stranger to anxiety, the last time I had really bad anxiety was in the early 2000s. I ended up seeing a therapist who did help and after sometime I came to terms with it and had it under control. However, as of late, I have started to develop some anxiety over being alone in a closed room. This is due to having to use a window a/c unit. I'm not sure where this sudden fear of being alone.
