Anxiety

@Thumper013 Hello Tracy. Welcome. I have sensory and social anxiety. Loud noises, bright lights and heavy topic conversations really affect me, especially if someone accuses me of lying or not being truthful when I am.

Hi Tracy, i too don't take medications.  I have depression and anxiety.  Right now, I am so depressed that my anxiety gets worst :(

Hi I'm chef too,every day I deal with anxiety, I'm 41 years old

@Thumper013 I hear you

Hey I to wear my heart on my sleeve they don't make people like us no more also I previously worked as a chef to. I have most recently started suffering anxiety along with other terrible symptoms of my health condition the anxiety is caused by the mental health team who is treating me, mainly. I had no idea what it was I was feeling. I told my pharmacist and nurse about it, they did not explain it's anxiety, I had to diagnose that symptom myself. I used to take medication not for anxiety but for my other symptoms, anti phycotics, I've been given anti depressants to and non Hypnotic sleeping pills but nothing helps. I don't no what's worse my original symptoms and how I feel or my new symptom of anxiety, it's not a good feeling what so ever. I feel your pain

@Thumper013Hi Tracy, thanks for sharing your story. Your courage in dealing with anxiety disorder and OCD on your own is admirable. Remember you're not alone. Take care

I also struggled with anxiety since a teen and I'm currently 45. I finally realized that I need to focus more on others and topics towards my purpose and not focus on my problems. It's somewhat helping, but I guess it takes time. Try beet juice for more nitric oxide to boost your oxygen level.

Hello! My name is Marquetta ( Mar-key-ta). I am 43 years old, I'm a mother to 3 biological boys, then i have 6 bonus kids. They are all grown except for 1 and he is 11. I recently got divorced on Valentines Day after living through a 12 year marriage. I am new to this chat/group. I live with Severe anxiety and depression, just recently diagnosed with CPTSD stage 5 PTSD. I had a house fire on 9-12-23 in the very early morning hours. Before the fire my anxiety and depression was like laying dormant inside of me, very rarely ever had a flair up. Since the fire, I can't do minor things such as going to the doctor, Walmart, my sons school. If there are alot of people around I become very anxious and then I panic. After some vandalism today at my place I live, the Sheriff told me I seem to always help the ones who crap on me the most. Today has been tough.
