Do you ever get angry about your anxiety?

@Dgirl15 Oh my gosh yes. These days it's usually under control but usually everything I want to do like going on a vacation or to an amusement park gets ruined because I'll get a panic attack. Even going to my favorite restaurant gives me anxiety. I just hope someday everything like this will be nothing but a bad memory, for you and me both.

Yes

Hi @Dgirl15

I'm very sorry that you feel angry about your mental health problems. To answer your question: yes, I often feel fustrated, angry or sad that I feel lost of what to do about my inabilities to act "normal" or my anxiety for holding me back. My therapist often tells me not to be angry, because at the end of the day, my mental illnesses IS me. It's something that happens in my mind, in my brain. Therapy is what I can do to keep my illness abay. Medicine is away for me to let the therapy work its magic. I think that since I'm also an allergy patient she's been able to calm my nerves and anger towards anti-depressants. She asked me if I'd ever question allergy medicine. It's something that I take to take the top of my skin irritations and I need it to function; in the same way I need my antidepressants to make my therapy work it's "magic".

I'm truly sorry that you feel angry about your anxiety. May I ask if you have browsed in 7 Cups's training courses? 7 Cups have a guide for both emotions and anxiety. I hope you'll feel better soon x

I get really upset about my anxiety. It prevents me from doing so much. I prevents me from doing things I NEED to get done. I hate it sooo much

Yes almost all the time. It holds me back from really connecting with other people or to want to do certain things, because I'll have to interact with the outside world meanwhile having this constant fear of something bad happening. I can't seem to handle any situation very well at all.

I get angry about my anxiety a lot. I hate how I feel so held back. I let it get the bet of me which is really frustrating and I still don't know how to get over it

I get angry about my anxiety every day becaue it made my life very different and imited! But i know i will beat its ass!!

I feel ya. Especially when it flares up for absolutely no reason at all and everything is actually going well but welp, there it friggin' is... Have been having one of those weeks myself. All I can do is remember (or at least try to remember) I beat it before and I will beat it again!

Today I got angry. It helped a lot. Any feeling is better than the depression or sheer terror I normally feel during my episodes. I think the SSRI helped me feel angry.

@Dgirl15
