Hi Al. I know what you're feeling. Sometimes it's like you're living two lives; the one most people see on the outside and the wound up, anxious and at times scary one you feel on the inside. It's hard to keep going and acting like all is well when it isn't. Hang in there and know you're not alone, especially with health anxiety. Many of us here do too.

Hi,

I also suffer from anxiety/panic disorder, bipolar, borderline personality disorder, PTSD, and depression. I empathize with struggling to deal with diagnosis and family. Anxiety/Panic disorder is such a fearful feeling. I recently had a panic attack in my college class and walked out in the middle of lecture.

Do you have anyone that supports you?

Sincerely,
Serenitee

Hi

Sorry to hear you are having a tough time of it at the moment.

I am struggling with OCD at the moment and know how much it can really take over your life so it is important that you take some steps to address this. CBT works really well for OCD so maybe go and speak with your doctor about getting a referral.

I hope you start to feel better soon.

Hi Alb,

I am so sorry that your family does not better understand what it is that you are struggling with.

Anxiety and depression are as real an ailment as any physical illness! My husband has diabetes. Can he simply be strong, or will it away? Of course not! Neither can we with our anxiety. There are things we can do to treat and help ourselves...just as my husband can with his disease...but no...it is not a matter of choice that we deal with anxiety!

I hope that your family can get some enlightenment about your challenges and understand you better. There are books for loved ones of A/D sufferers that I can recommend if you think they would read them.

For now, keep talking with us.;) We do relate to what you are going through.

Keep up with your coping skills...and know that we are here for you anytime!

S.C.
