I spend countless hours worrying and obsessing on how to keep myself safe from the things I am a afraid of, yet when I am faced with a trigger or a situation I cannot control I just completely lose it. My anxiety practically bursts out of my chest and I feel as if I scare others around me with my panic.
I'm constantly told I'm choosing to let my mental illness control me, which doesn't feel fair, because I feel helpless to control it in any sense. I spend so much time on compulsions and obsessive thoughts that I hardly feel like a normal human sometimes. I find it very hard to feel joy when things get this bad. I am looking into anxiety medications. Hoping perhaps it will help.

@xIxAmxSadx I am sorry you are feeling so anxious. Although I do not believe mindfulness replaces medication, I think it is a good practice to help moderate anxiety. This youtube video I found seems to be a good one for anxiety but there are many others.
If you have an hour, this one is a professionally prepared video for counselors and clients to cope using mindfulness If you find meds help, that is great, but do not rule out mindfulness because it works with meds also, whatever works for you. @CANDC
