Hey everyone,
I'm new here but sadly not new to panic and anxiety. I split with my live-in boyfriend a couple of months ago and am now adjusting to life alone again. It's really hard suddenly having to deal with anxiety and panic alone. I loved having him around for those moments as not only did he know exactly how to deal with me, but having someone else's company distracted me and made me focus less on how I was feeling.
Anyway, I know it's not great to rely on other people but one of the worst things I find about panic/anxiety is how alone it makes you feel. Like no one else could possibly have gone through this and totally isolated. I hate the fear of foreboding and impending danger I get too. I see a therapist and have been coming on in leaps and bounds but last night I couldn't sleep for panicking and crying (which made today at work almost impossible). I have a lot of financial worries which stress the hell out of me.
I just feel very alone in all this and so thought it might be an idea to meet other people online who are going through this kind of thing as maybe we could help each other? I hate feeling this way.
Today I am still exhausted after last night's insomnia but I'm half scared to go to bed in case I wake up in the scary night with long, long hours to go till day time. I love my new flat and am depressed I had a night like that as I thought I had been doing better.
Also I notice my anxiety is WAAAAAAY better if I drink? Like I have a kind of hangover consisting of unpleasant, panicky, jitteriness! Anyone else find this?
Anyway, hello I guess! It seems so unfair that some of us have this cross to bear, but I guess everyone has something and ours happens to be anxiety. I hope I can maybe help someone on here if I have something to share.
Thanks,
Panicky Girl.
