Hello?
Posted: 08-27-05 10:28am

I have been severly anxious for such a long time,
what's the point of carrying on?
Even if I get over this anxiety, from what I have read
my health will have been destroyed permenantly and that
is why I don't see any future...
Should I just give up now? :cry:

Why would your health be destroyed? Once you get over anxiety, you're just back to what you were before you ever had it only you'll be able to handle stress better than the average person. Some people think anxiety disorder was a blessing once they get past it. It sounds stupid but you'll actually be bored once you've figured it out because you're used to being "up" all the time and when you aren't anxious for the 15th day in a row......It can be boring. After you've spent so much time worrying about anxiety, you sit there and say.........Ok, now what do I do? I don't see how it destroys your health.

I don't know...From what i've read anxiety can permenantly destroy
your health and cause heart disease and stuff...That's why I feel hopeless.

Actualy, I guess you're right...Sadly I can't see any end to my anxiety, which I am convinced is something more serious anyway...I can't even remember what it was like before all this even started anymore...Sigh
i'm frustrated I didn't sort it out before it got this bad :cry:

you seem like you panic over little things. When this sort of thing happens to you just stay calm for a few minutes. And the best thing I find when I start to panic and have anxiety attacks is listen to some music. It always makes me feel better.

My grandmother had severe panic, worry, anxiety and all that her whole life and lived to be 79. The doctors said her heart was healthy and everything was fine- she ended up dying of a car accident.

Thanks for all your replies, i'm feeling slightly better now,
if I don't worry and relax I normally seem to improve a bit.
