Also feel like I can’t go anywhere unless my boyfriend is with me most of the time. I just wish I could stop feeling like I wasn’t real and not think so much about things. I was so outgoing and fun before my accident 5 months ago. Literally feels like I’m dying.

Hey! So sorry to hear what you’re going through… sounds like a lot. It sounds like you’ve experienced something meaningful that changed the way you are.. I think you should go to a therapist to get a diagnosis that will help you get better therapy and help… maybe cognitive behavioral therapy will help with or without medications… just don’t be alone in it!

I have a therapist and psychiatrist

I have learned the past several years to start off doing small things you have interest in or enjoy. Like said start off SMALL once you start doing that for a couple weeks slowly do bigger things. Like me, crowds, black light putt putt with lot people in the area , gave me a panic attack and I was on Xanax. But it never did anything for me! NEVER.... I'd small steps means taking a walk a park or going to a high traffic area and watch the cars go by, or bird watching... It's hard I know but small steps can help get the motivation for the next step.

I don't know what your going through with the accident stuff , but I say this with respect , major respect People get upset with the cards they have been delt , but sometimes you 🛑 stop and take a breathe meditate and play the hand you have. Who knows that next cars you pick up may be a amazing card and open a lot of doors.

*card not cars

I'm going to try hypnosis and TMS along with talk therapy and meds. I'll keep you updated on our other message thread on how it goes.

Dear Anxious you are actually experiencing PTSD .if possible make a apt with your mental health services or Dr's that specializes in that. and also counseling will help. I don't know what type of accident you were In.Dont be hard on yourself. It takes time and the right type of help for you. You will get better . I'm not a Dr I was Diagnosed with PTSD and the symptoms were the same as you Describe for you.🙏

Anxious I apologize I didn't read through the other comments I jumped right in giving you a diagnosis. Tbh it might take some time for you.

A friend of mine was the same way. She went to success TMS and says it helped her a great deal

Sounds like anxiety to me. I'm the same it got worse when I had my son. Then covid and now finding out I have a chronic illness that lowers my immune system. I sometimes get physically sick when I know I have to leave the house alone. Or have a panic attack in the car once I get there.
