Living with Daily Anxiety: Is it Possible to Thrive?

I totally understand because I deal with it daily. I’m actually nervous that I’ve developed “Agoraphobia”. I used to go out with friends all the time but now I’m most comfortable and enjoy being home! I actually enjoy it. But I don’t think that’s a good thing. Lol. Nothing has helped me except staying busy. When I stay busy, I forget about the anxiety and the longer I forget the better. I fear going to places where I’ve gotten nervous before. I even stopped going to my hair dresser because I hate the anxiety I get there from feeling “stuck” when he starts putting the foil in my hair. I don’t take any meds because I’m afraid of them. There is something in a multi vitamin I found that may help tho. I researched it a lil. It’s called Inositol. I’ve also noticed a difference when I take Zinc. 😀

I know what your going through, you are not alone. I have days when I feel like I'm get better and then day I feel like I'm losing my mind with one panic attack after another. Medicine like clonazepam or low-azepam can really help with the panic attacks when they come on too strong. I don't know your. Personal beliefs but I have started going back to church and I have found that immensely helpful. Also you should check out these two apps Dare and the taping method. I use those both daily and found them vary helpful. Feel free to reach out to me if you need to talk. YOU GOT THIS!

I in no way am thriving. But I have found something that has helped my anxiety. I started taking some vitamins called Bioflavoniods and that was the only big change I made about 2 months ago. For the first time in years I was able to have an appointment and go to my Dr.s for a procedure with virtually 0 anxiety. Usually that would have had me really messed up for a week and get worse the closer it gets. The research of their effects on anxiety is still new so yea. But its promising and that wasnt even the reason I started taking them.
