I am scared all the time. I never feel safe. My life is enpty lonely and boring. Nothing helps. I cannot function. I have severe impending doom and hopelessness. I have tried almost everything. No solution. I feel physically awful all the time. I cannot do anything except consume alcohol and drink cigarettes even though it makes me feel worse. I am terrified of the future. I have no peace, ever.

What a horrible burden to bear! I suffer from bad anxiety but luckily medication has helped me. I am on Celexa and Buspirone. It took me it seems like forever to find something that helped. Those were agonizing years. And with anxiety the overwhelming pain goes on hour by hour, minute by minute and second by second. I wish I knew what to say that would help you. It is terrible when you want to be helpful to someone and you just don't know how. People unafflicted with anxiety have idea how burdensome it is . . . crushingly burdensome. Forgive me for not knowing how to help. My heart really goes out to you!

Hi @darkfeary

I am sorry you are afraid so much. That must be difficult to live with.

What options are you considering like online Zoom meetings with Alcoholics anonymous where you do not have to meet people in person ?

I feel very unsettled when I do not eat. The brain requires protein every 24 hours and when mine does not have it, then my emotions get very unstable.

One of the ongoing challenges with ptsd is not feeling safe.

Would you identify as an alcoholic? Problem drinker? Substance use disorder?
