Anxiety Management Progress

MobiusLoop February 12th, 2021

Hi all, Newbie here and just wanted to reach out to some like minded folks. I’m in my mid-30s now and I feel like I have made no progress in tackling my anxiety/depression. If anything, several recent life events have probably set me back. I began my journey to wellness over 10 years ago, but feel like I’ve only recently started chipping away at some very old demons and actual being aware of when anxiety or depression is setting/has set in. I know everyone starts in a different place, but does anyone else feel like that the progress you’ve made isn’t enough?

Hi, I’m in my 20’s and have been practicing the wellness journey for 4 years. This is my first time reaching out and talking to people who struggle is similar ways. I have pretty bad anxiety and I thought I had a handle on it but recent life events have proved otherwise. I know exactly what you mean about feeling like you’re making no progress at all or falling ten steps behind.

I completely relate to feeling like you’re not progressing or feeling like you’re falling backwards instead of moving forward.

It’s a scary feeling. Sometimes I feel like I have made good progress and feel optimistic and then it seems like it all comes crashing down. It’s difficult to handle. I also struggle with feeling that I have not made enough progress and other times it seems to completely overwhelm me.

I am almost 30 and feel the same way. Days I feel like I’m making progress and then the next day can feel like 12 steps backwards

Im 30 and i started my wellness journey 7 years ago. The loss of botb of my paternal grandparents feels like ive been set back to 1. Im trying to cope, but i feel like most of the progress ive made has been undone
