Mental torture and all self inflicted. Why can't I turn this off I ask myself over and over.
I've had problems in the distant past with anxiety, but had been free for 8 years. On both occasions I recovered but in my case it took time. I cling onto the hope that I will recover again. You need to trust in the process that you too will recover. It's good you are talking to someone, that will help. i pray your recovery is speedy
