Every time I think I’ve heard all the food info/conversations y’all come up with this. Sooooo good. I’m fairly recovered and highly functioning but there are still days/weeks that aren’t awesome and that’s okay. You all have helped me so much I can’t thank you enough.
It started when I saw the snow and worried if I get sick they will not be able to come and get me, also I fear the discomfort in my body and worry about my heart am checking it all the time
Am in Africa particularly in Uganda. I was diagnosed with Anxiety and OCD around end of July in 2022 it's been so tough n a rollercoaster from anti depressants to therapists but I can't seem to get the anxiety in check I happen to have mini anxiety attacks day to day n I have the worst fears that's existential dread n depersonalization n derelation n my worst fear ever time is am going crazy n will develop some sort of disease that the doctors can't be able to treat. I have real suffered and I have 3 littles ones to take care of I have experienced all the main symptoms of anxiety disorder
Hi ❤ I’m by no means recovered and have a long way to go, but I have overcome being home alone. Things were VERY bad so please be assured it wasn’t just a mild fear or discomfort. But as I have kids my husband would HAVE to take them to swimming every Friday and I was too terrified to leave the house but also terrified to be home alone. I had no choice to be home alone every week. And being home alone and adopting the attitude that ‘these sensations are safe, feeling terror is safe, it’s JUST a feeling, fear does not equal real danger” and ‘every time I do this exposure, the more resilience I’m building to get to where I want to be, therefore these awful sensations are actually good- I’m practicing and the only way is to get comfortable / better at feeling this way’ is what helped. Engaging helped; I’d have a mini project to do while they were out. The repetition meant that every time was (usually) a bit better; even if it just meant no diarrhoea it was an improvement. Fast forward 6 months or so and I’m not relaxed and happy home alone but I’m not a paralysed terrified mess. I make a cup of tea and do something like have a bath or start a new painting or do Xmas shopping online. I hope this helps. The dare Facebook groups and Michelle’s Instagram really have helped me x
@@Dawn-yo7ly thank you yes I'm trying to accept my fear is suppose to be there that it's ok I just cannot react on it constantly fighting it to make it go away instead I tell myself ok this is a good feeling to have its suppose to be there for my protection n maybe others I just have to keep practicing to need feed it but to just leave it there some days are better then some I live alone I am 62 i lost my live ones some to soon,my goal is to try and socialize it's a working progress to actually go and do it I would like to volunteer some where my chronic illness can make me doubt and play into the fear I would appreciate if anyone who reads this believes in prayer to mention me I feel once I am able to make that connection and actually be able to move to actually doing it i will feel so much better i really need this being in my own head without human connection makes it worse if I can do this I just know I will feel alive n healthy mentally n physically our mind can tell us so many things I find a group about 6 miles away from me for anxiety n depression I want to walk in I really am ready it's easier I thk for myself to go where others are having the same issues I hope I don't allow the anxiety and fear which is a natural part of me to get into that group n sit and see if I like it stepping out alone is a giant step for me I don't have anyone to encourage me but me I need some cheerleaders ☺🤞🙏 thk u for ur post
I have been trying to go back to work since 02 2020.. but anxiety has stopped me every time... disability says anxiety isn't real. So I'm going to lose everything
After two years of trying to get disability I finally had a hearing and they denied my disability. Despite all the evidence from my Dr. And all the attempts I made to try to work. It's been 3 years of hell. I'm trying to find a job now but the anxiety hits every time I fill out an application.. I have been applying since November. No one wants to help me get a job either so I'm stuck on an island .. I am reading the dare book for the second time but I'm struggling so hard. If only i could work my life would be great but. I beat myself up everyday I'm not working. I don't know what to do honestly. There is no help for people with what I have and that's why the homeless population is so high here in the nw. If they can't see it, they don't believe it. No help finding a job, no help with disability, bills nothing. I've got about a week left.
It’s easy to say “respond with humor.” Personally this approach doesn’t work for me. I face my fears head on every single day. I’ve sat through several panic attacks and try to be brave. I’ve quit nicotine, changed my diet and have avoided caffeine and watch my sugar. I work out. Nothing seems to work.
@@SethMoxie I totally resonate. Something that’s dawning on me, accept the fear. Don’t resist the fear or try to not feel the fear. Accept the fear. Allow yourself to be afraid, and then refocus on life. Take the fear with you. Let it be there as long as it likes.

I love you all three, especially Barry and my favourite, Michelle.

What are your symptoms?
I had to quit my job also. It's embarrassing
Any update?
I'm in your boat your not alone

@@SeanMcMouser What symptoms are you dealing with
I actually get anxious and then my BP drops and I get vasovagal syncope and faint. How can I stop this?
How are you doing now?
@@EliBenett hi , I have to lay down to have them done and then after 10 mins it doesn't happen, also eat salt hour before to stop BP lowering
Am going through that now
