Feeling Hopeless
I previously posted that I recently went to urgent care because my stomach feels like it’s tearing itself apart. I think this is result of my anxiety. Urgent care could not help me and sent me to the emergency room. They could not help me. I called my doctor, but they said there were no available appointments. I decided to book an appointment with a therapist. The therapist never showed up. I’m not usually comfortable asking for help, but my anxiety is so out of control. I feel like I’ve tried everything and everyone has turned me down.
Hey @Ardi7 🙂
I'm truly sorry to hear about the intense struggle you're going through with your anxiety and the pain it's causing. It sounds incredibly tough, especially when the support you sought wasn't available when you needed it most. It's a big step to reach out for help, and it's disheartening to feel let down. Remember, your feelings are valid, and it's okay to feel overwhelmed. I'm here for you. Let's think about some small, manageable steps you can take right now to care for yourself.
Maybe some gentle breathing exercises or a soothing activity that you enjoy? You're not alone in this.
Hi @Ardi 7,
I'm so sorry this has been happening to you. Some things you could try might be;
- Taking deep breaths
- Using things such as fidget/ stress toys
- Slowly drinking some water to calm and ground yourself
- Gently rubbing your stomach to see if that might help with pain
Again, you aren't alone in this! <3
