Will People With Anxiety Ever Get Peace?
Will people with anxiety ever get peace? I’m tired. I’m so tired. My mind never stops. It seems I’ll never get my mind to stop telling me the worst will always happen. I can never enjoy the moment or the rewards of my hard work. I bought my first home this year and instead of enjoying it, I’m up all night with nightmares and jumping at the smallest sound outside.
Does it ever stop? Does it ever get better? My anxiety and panic attacks are due to a rape and hospitalization that happened 8 years ago. I’ve never been able to get on with my life. I want these nightmares and horrible thoughts to just go away so I can enjoy the life I built and worked so hard for.
I want to be able to hold down a job for more than a few years. I want to be able to go to the grocery store or fly without a panic attack due to being near people. I just want this anxiety to go away.
I get how tired you feel, akay06. I feel tired as well. So very weary of this struggle. I wish I could ease your pain. You did not deserve what happened to you. I can only imagine how angry and scared you must feel. I hope you can find some relief. Keep looking. I think healing is possible.
I don’t want to minimize what you are going through and you probably already know about this stuff, but here it is anyway. I listen to meditations on repeat. I love mindfulness. Tara Brach has been helped me tremendously. She uses the RAIN technique. Just lately I have been looking into Polyvagal Theory and Internal Family Systems. Deb Dana and Janina Fisher have compassionate methods for healing trauma. You can find them interviewed in a lot of podcasts and probably YouTube. My nervous system calmed significantly when I started doing Wim Hof breathing. There is a short tutorial on YouTube. He recommends practicing it 3 times a day.
Thank you for sharing. I hope you find what you are looking for.
@akay06 I am really sorry that have go through so much. I can't imagine how hard it has been been for you. I know sometimes it’s hard to see a light at the end of the tunnel but there is a light at the end of tunnel. You will be at peace one day. I know right now it may seems like nothing's gonna work but things can work out but only if you believe in yourself a bit and not give up🙂. You have already made this far and I know you can make it out of the tunnel. As suggested by many here, there are lot of things that can help you through it. Only thing you need is now is to believe in yourself a little more and not give up. I hope you will be able to heal soon❣️ rooting for you
