Today my anxiety hit a new level for me that I’ve never experienced before. It’s been difficult to stop crying for the last couple hours on top of me feeling completely worthless. Today wasn’t even a bad day and I don’t know where it came from. Life has been stressful, but I’ve never had this before. I feel like everything going wrong in my life is my fault(which I know it’s not), I feel like a worthless wife(even though I have a loving husband who never complains), and I feel such an intense group of emotions that it’s overwhelming. Any advice on what this could be or what makes it better for you would be greatly appreciated :)

      I find this happens to me if i let everything build up for too long. When i do this i have days where it will be non stop crying, I try to tackle this nowadays by trying to be more open with my anxiety and what makes me anxious with the people around me. However on the days i still feel like this i try to take it slow on that day just do comforting things. The only way is up ❤️

      The roles we are expected to play in different stages in life are demanding! It has been my life’s experience (69 yrs) that every so often we all need a good cry! Life’s daily events tend to build and scaffold on each other; emotions, interpersonal interactions and life demands build up! People need a release for all this energy! Crying can be a total release of such energy! Be a loving person to one’s self! Mind self talk should be kept as positive as you can muster! There are a lot of people we encounter in our daily lives who have a negative impact on our mental state. We should put ourselves down on top of that! Become your own cheerleader, perform random acts of kindness for people you encounter , keep your Faith strong, your family/close Friends close, and be grateful daily no matter how devastating your day may have been! There is always someone who you would not to trade places with!! Look at your glass half full vs. half empty! If you are really feeling down: do something nice for someone else! “ When you smile, it’s contagious!🙏😇❤️👍

      I previously took citalopram and I regularly had attacks like this where everything gets on top of me and I can’t find a way out. I’m here if you want a friend to talk too I have dealt with anxiety and panic attacks for a while.

      I agree. It’s a build up of anxiety for me as well. And I don’t properly let it out or address it and then it all comes out at once. Even on a day where thought would be “best day.”
