it's really strange. when I was at the peak of my anxiety, everything else didn't really seem to exist. now that it's under control, it's like all the shit i was ignoring (or just couldn't function enough to focus on) is coming back. I can handle it, but i hate it. no more google searches of what mystery disease I have, but all the real problems in my life are back.
I think living with extreme anxiety is worse, but man, it's close. Forgot how the anxiety literally rules your life to the point that everything else disappears.Hugh Freaking Dillon is currently out of the office, returning sometime in the fall0 -
makes you wonder how meaningless a lot of those problems are if they can just disappear without focus.Hugh Freaking Dillon is currently out of the office, returning sometime in the fall0

One of the reasons we have that anxiety is exactly that. Those problems. They are a root cause. Among other reasons like drink/weed. Also i had an hour appointment with my dr. We spoke a lot and i made sence of some stuff not that it changes anything. But that living in complete blinding fear becomes so normal. Without it you cant get back easily because its become your everything. Im ashamed to say ive been confined to my bed for a long time. So any responsibility i had dwindled on to others , hours pass like weeks. Been trapped so long any life or purpose dissapeared. How to fill any even small amount of time is pathetically hard. If i could believe i haven't got a dreadful illness for even a day. The gap those thoughts and fears took up within a day fills up with not peace or fun but more and more fears and illnesses.

So it's exactly a year since my last post. I've been scared to post here. The world seems a different place.
I don't exactly know what I wanted to write except that I'm in that place again. Medical problems seem to rule my fear. Had a rough few months with my kids being ill whilst trying to cope with symptoms myself.
I guess I had nowhere to go with all this fear at 3 a.m

Hear the voices calling. Again they're calling.
I don't know why I even try anymore

I finally won when I chose to fight it. No one is the same. My struggles are not the same as yours. But it's all a fight. And you can win yours.Hugh Freaking Dillon is currently out of the office, returning sometime in the fall0 -

I don't know why I even try anymoreHang in their, friend! I only know what my anxiety feels like, no one else's, but I know in each of our own way it totally sucks. I'm coming out of a few days of heavy anxiety slam and as things get a little better, I'm reminded yet again that there's a payoff in clawing through those nasty brambles.Hang in there, bud.

Rob, been reading your posts for a long time and it’s been refreshing to me , you sharing your truth…. It’s not easy , and I’ve been going through something for almost a decade and some things before that .. I’m currently looking to lock down the right therapist and sort myself out a bit. I have been putting some of it on the back burner and feel it’s important as a get older to take care of myself as a whole, I always think I have all the answers to my issues and lately I’m starting to wear down to my studs a bit and feel even if I’m running at 85% of my potential, it’s not good enough anymore. You come across as a real real good dude my friend, I always hope for the best for you when I read your posts… life always shifts beneath your feet, I’m 44 and in some ways I’m so much better than I ve ever been, and in other ways I need to refocus and let down the walls I tend to put up and try to go on my own. So thanks again for being honest & open… and to everyone else in here or going through something.
Peace & Understanding!

I really wish I could type freely, on a public forum it's so difficult.
I've been sober 8 months and my physical health has petrified me with nowhere to hide and it's like my brain has gone off the chart. I'm due to see mental health professionals today.
The days turned into the nights turn into today.
Thank you for replying so kindly and openly, I will be thinking of you and hoping you guide your ship to safely
