I've spiraled out of control and hit rock bottom. I suffer with many things but anxiety seems to be the one that hurts me the most being that it takes my motivation away (at least that's how it feels). It makes me scared or "never in the right situation" to feel like I can do anything. I can't enjoy any of my beloved hobbies anymore and forcing myself to do things just does not work! It gets even worse if my room mate has days off because I'm constantly on high alert so I can't focus on trying to do anything at all! I can't even read a book or listen to music because I'm constantly afraid she'll need to talk to me, or need me for something.
I wish there was something I could do to ease my mind other than medication that I can't even get my hands on right now. Any tips?

Hello VesselofStars: I don't know as I have any particularly good suggestions for you. Meditation & physical exercise are often things people use in an effort to ease anxiety... also avoiding caffeinated beverages. Hopefully other members will have better suggestions to offer.

I see this is your first post here on PC. So... to PsychCentral… from the Skeezyks! May the time you spend here be of benefit.

PsychCentral is a great place to get information as well as support for mental health issues. The more you post, & reply to other members’ posts, the more a part of the community you will become. Plus there are social groups you can join & chat rooms where you’ll be able to connect with other PC members in real time (once your first 5 posts have been reviewed & approved.) Lots of great stuff! So please keep posting!
