Hi, my names Vectoria and I have ocd and other disorders but this is the main one that controls my life. I try to stay as clean as humanly possible but I still feel like I smell so bad. I feel so worthless because of this.

What's up peeps.Anyone have any tips against anxiety?

I'm undiagnosed with anxiety and depression but it seems crazy to me that I never realized that I was mentally ill. I've just been thinking I'm weird and over emotional. I'm stressing about life stuff right now, adult stuff like getting a health card and figuring out my future. My life I'd so unorganized that I have so many steps I have to take before I can seek out a therapist but I want one so bad.

My name is May... I'm not sure what to post. Mainly because there's just so much and nothing all at once. I've been fighting this thing for so long. And I'm so tired. I mean I used to love sleep because I never felt anxiety then. But about a month or so ago I started getting these anxiety fueled nightmares. I wake up feeling guilty. I go to sleep feeling panic. I can't find the motivation to do yoga, meditation, white noise therapy. Nothing. I don't want to do anything. But I want to do it all. I'm just so tired. And I honestly think I'm getting worse. How is that even possible? I don't even know what I'm feeling anxious about!

Hi.. I was just diagnosed with Anxiety Disorder! It just popped up in my life. I feel awful I'm nervous all day...I'm scared to drive! I had to quit my job! It has just taken over my life in a month!!!! I'm working with a therapist and only drug that works for me is Xanax and the psych wants me to take Zoloft but I'm scared!! I don't know what to do. I feel hopeless I'm always crying and calling hotlines for prayer. I have already had 2 panic attacks which scared me even more!! I have NEVER felt anxiety like this before. Some days I feel fine then the anxiety comes and ruins it! I have kids I can't be going threw this. Does anybody know if this will EVER go away?? Does it decrease as time goes by??

My name's Megan...I just turned 15 a few weeks ago. I have anxiety issues in general and lately I've had anxiety attacks and almost every night, I've been having them every night for the last week or so. I've started using 7 cups and it's been helping so maybe this is the start of feeling a bit better

I'm Kelli and I'm 30. I am bipolar and suffer from severe depression and anxiety. Really intense combination. I have been dealing with this since age 11 but it still is not easy. I have learned to identify the signs but struggle with pulling myself out of the stages. I often find myself breaking down especially with all the recent changes in my life. But somehow it always turns out ok. I was reading some of the advise on here. I have found several of the tips helpful. A long walk or drive helps to clear the mind. I personally turn to music for extra comfort. But even those haven't been helping lately.

Hey all. I'm Maggie. I've suffered with anxiety and depression most of my life, however, over the years, it's gotten significantly worse. I feel I'm at a breaking point, so I'm reaching out. I'm also a recovering self-harmer and my anxiety and panic attacks make me want to relapse. I'm at my wits end. Hopefully, I'll find the help I need here.

Hi I'm Jewell and I suffer from anxiety and depression . I have so many bad attacks and they're really horrible. During my attacks I cry a lot , shake , my heart is racing , I can't breathe , and I think horrible thoughts and try to think of ways I can kill myself and sometimes I try to attempt them in silly ways. I've tried to kill myself with a pillow , pills , and I thought of jumping out of window or crashing myself . On a daily basis I can never focus and I'm always on edge . I can never be fully relaxed without my heart pounding constantly . It sucks and I don't know what to do. I'm trying to hard to finish my bachelors in IT but everytime I try to study I have so many attacks and then when I fail assignments or tests I freak out even more and I'm so hard on myself and I just want to die . Everything is such a big deal to me . I'm never happy anymore . I just don't know what to do. I hate this feeling so much.
