Dealing with anxiety

...See more Hello everyone! 🙃 This week, I was finally diagnosed with ADHD 🙌🏻, which was really important for me because I finally understand what’s happening with me! At the same time, I’m also dealing with anxiety and depression. Sometimes, the anxiety is so overwhelming that I feel like I can’t go on like this. I feel so bad that I don’t know what to do. My doctor recommended a couple of books on coping with anxiety. But most of the exercises are focused on concentration. For example, one of them requires focusing only on your breathing and not thinking about anything else. This seems impossible for me and just drives me crazy 😣. My mind is constantly racing with thoughts that I can’t stop for even a second. Has anyone else faced a similar problem? How do you stop the flow of thoughts during anxiety? How do you relax? I also have a question: how do you manage to get rid of anxiety and stress in crowded places or at work? Basically, when you’re not alone. I’d really appreciate your answers 🙏🏻.

...See more I have been struggling with depression for a long time since graduating from college. Two years ago, I stopped taking antidepressants on the advice of a doctor. Now I feel worse and have had to resume taking antidepressants. This is all under the supervision of a doctor.  I feel bad. I think depression and anxiety will haunt me for the rest of my life. Over time, I have been unable to start a family or succeed in my career. This struggle does not end and I think it will never end. Does anyone else feel the same? Tell me about it. I want to know that I am not alone. I want to talk to people like me.
loneliness is suffocating me

...See more I have been struggling with depression and anxiety for many years. Dark thoughts have already become a part of me. But the most offensive and painful thing for me is loneliness. In my entire life, I have never known what love and affection are. My mother showed me affection only after she yelled at me or hit me. This distorted my understanding of love. My father was always cold and never defended me in quarrels with my mother. He just sat in the next room. My brother also beat me. I am very upset that in my life there was no person who loved me, the real me. I have never known love. It hurts me to watch how everyone around me gets married and starts a family. I don’t even have a chance for this. I feel wrong and miserable. Do I really not deserve love? Will I really never know love in my entire life? Why am I surrounded by coldness, loneliness and dark thoughts? I want to hug the person I love. I want to cry on his shoulder. I want to feel warmth and closeness. I want to feel like someone is on my side. This is unbearable for me. I didn't choose to be alone I know that I need to love myself and not depend on another person. But it's hard when I've always had to earn love for others, and I've never been good enough for it. P.S. Sorry, English is not my native language. So there may be mistakes. I just wanted to speak out
