I have anxiety about a lot of things (mainly social anxiety coupled with depression and severely low self-esteem) and lately it has become so paralyzing that I can not sleep. my normal bed time for me now is anywhere between 3-6am. I than lay in my bed/"sleep" (which usually is on and of and not consistant) until noonish. I don't care about my appearnace and barely leave the house anymore. Most of my time alone is spent using bulimic symptoms. its the only coping mechanism that helps me to numb out my feelings, man up, grow a back bone, and get on with my day when I have things to do. I know I'm extremely harsh on myself. I punish myself when I begin to cry or feel too sad because its a sign of weakness. I've been to treatment for all of this three times (twice outpatient and once inpatient) and none of this has helped. what do I do? I really can't stand being in my head ever.
im goin thru the same stuff ure goin thru except the reason i have this damn anxiety is cause of drug induced and i regret it everyday its been four months since been at a normal mind tht being the night i had a bad trip on weed but anyways i understand what ure goin thru and it does blow i mean every other day its sumthin different i worry about like am i goin insane and am i dieing and to be honest im still here and im not crazy jus anxiety makes u feel this way what i would tell u to do is keep like records on what ure worryin about each day and when u look back on it you will realise how dumb it is and another thing jus live life you only get to live it once so why not jus say f**k anxiety and jus live it up youll get thru this one day jus stay confident
Why am I paralyzed by anxiety and what can I do about it?
