Just having one of those days today :(
This is a bit of a pointless post, I just feel so overwhelmed with anxiety the majority of the time, I wonder if I'll ever be able to have a nice, fulfilled life.
I'm only twenty, nearly twenty one, this should be the best time of my life and every day I wake up feeling sick in my stomach with worry. I would like to get married, have a family, have a career, but I feel like all of that is going to be impossible because anxiety makes achieving every little goal that you can normally look forward to, a hundred times harder. I've been considering trying to get CBT, I've had counselling in the past and it really helped me, but now I feel like I'm slowly going back to square one :(. I just seem to have a really pessimistic view on life at the moment and I really would like to change that. I'm going back to the G.P on Friday because I've been having funny feelings in my chest and worrying over it. I'm hoping if I have the relevant scans/tests etc. and they come back fine then I will feel better and the worry will go away, but then I worry that I'm going to start worrying about something else after that. It just seems useless.
Anyway, I'm sorry to rant on here, I know you are all in the same boat.
Does anyone know anyone who has recovered? If you do, how did they do it? Did CBT help?
Thanks xxx
