feel like i’m never going to get better
anxiety can be so exhausting sometimes like i’m so sick of it, i’m 19 now and was only diagnosed when i was 18 but ive been feeling like this for my whole life and my family members with anxiety have been the same. it’s just never going to get better for me, i hate it so so much
Anxiety is terrible. I know because I’ve also struggled with it most of my life. Growing up my family would often dismiss my feelings and basically tell me to get over it. I didn’t seek help until college. It was scary and overwhelming but also a relief. Because at that point I got a diagnosis. All my feelings and experiences were validated. I worked with a therapist and learned coping skills and how to manage it. I’m 34 now and it does get easier to handle. It’s a lot of work. I know at your stage it feels daunting and unrelenting but please keep pushing through it. Don’t let the negative and intrusive thoughts convince you that you’re weak because you aren’t. Find a therapist and work with them to find ways to manage your anxiety.
