I seem to be falling into anxiety a lot today. It comes on strongly and I do the breathing and try to just get through it while telling myself it wont kill me or anything and that it will go away.

Then a little later, it comes up again.

I have been battling feeling sad today with some family things that have gone on. Every now and then I feel sad and that seems to throw me into anxiety.

I dont really know how I am going to stand this if it keeps on happening.

Just in a bad way

I can relate to what you are sharing - I am going thru the same thing today. Am trying to calm myself down, and have already had to medicate. The anxiety is strong today, and the sadness is only adding to the depression. Hope you are feeling a little better.

Thank you Denman.

I am sorry that you are going through this too. It really is hard.

Things are a little better today and I have to try to stop anticipating it happening today.

Hope we can both get through this

I wish I knew anything that worked other than self-medicating and/or self-harm (that always calmed me down for some reason), but I just suggest sticking to the legal forms of self-medication and to stay away from self-harm as that's a hole you never quite get out of.

And I wish I had positive helpful advice…just you're not alone. That's all I have at the moment.

I do not know why but for me anxiety is twice as frequent and twice as severe when I am in a depression episode!!!

Thanks I.Am.The.End. All that you have is more than enough. Knowing I am not alone is a really helpful thing.

Mickey --- thank you. I know what you mean. I think the same thing happens with me.

Bazzinga -- Thank you for the hugs. Sending them back to you as well. I do get panic attacks. Not as often as other people. Those are the things I try to tell myself wont kill me and that I try to get through.
