Hi everyone!!
I was just curious how other people cope from day to day. I am now at a place with my anxiety where although it is always there, I am able for the most part to continue going to work and living a somewhat normal life. I can't remember the last time I felt 100% and it's taken me 4 years to get to this place, but it's so difficult living like this. I'm constantly exhausted and because of all the physical symptoms and tension in my body I constantly feel unwell. The anxiety means that my appetite is always non existant, but when I do eat, especially when I'm out, it makes my anxiety worse, because of the nausea and fear of being sick or having to go to the toilet, so now I always stop myself from eating, or at least from eating a lot. I know this is unhealthy but I will do anything to never go back to where I was a few years ago when I was unable to sleep, eat or even leave the house.
The trouble is I'm so exhausted and run down that I'm worried I will have another breakdown. I can't continue living with the constant anxiety but feel the best way to deal with it is to continue with my life as best I can. I don't know what to do, so any advice would be welcomed. Thank you.
