Dealing with anxiety
Hello everyone! š
This week, I was finally diagnosed with ADHD šš», which was really important for me because I finally understand whatās happening with me! At the same time, Iām also dealing with anxiety and depression. Sometimes, the anxiety is so overwhelming that I feel like I canāt go on like this. I feel so bad that I donāt 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 š£. My mind is constantly racing with thoughts that I canāt 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 youāre not alone.
Iād really appreciate your answers šš».
