I am so beyond okay I no longer remember okay. I keep thinking I can't do worse, but as it turns out, you always CAN. There are always 10 crises at the same time and I have a handle of 2 or 3 at the same time. It's just never a good moment for this, but there is certainly a worse one. And having...

I don't even have the energy to say it. But something hard is happening this week that may extend months- but the worst is the coming 2 weeks. And it's already serious enough without additions on it. And the anxiety is already peak. But then, trying to work through it, it actually triggered...

Is there anything that worked for you with panic attacks specifically? I've tried Xanax before but I don't have recipe currently. So I was wondering if there is anything natural that could help enough (compared to 0.5mg Xanax for example).

I am really not okay. I'm so not okay all my needs are dysregulated and not-functional that most of the time I don't even know where to begin. Mental health? Home adjustment isn't enough, insurance isn't an option or helping. I try adjusting habits, using AI and books and youtube and so on to...

I have several. I think it changes over time. One of the things is shaky hands when stressed, that I think is common. Sometimes when I'm so stressed that I can't accept whatever is happening, it's like a shock in my brain, almost like I'll pass out, like the world is tilting for a second, and...

What are all the ways you can think of for that? I was not okay for way too long and now it has consequences. I am finally seeing a way to be better/more consistent in this and find a stable income, but depending on what I try, it will take 3-5 weeks to begin with. Which is still needed and has...

This is due to the situation, which isn't great. Because of mental breakdown/loss of apartment, I got myself into debt. So I used every card I had in that period, which now means debt, no savings, no things to sell or pawn. Even what was left that had that option I've used in time. I know that's...

I'm really low. It's probably my fault, I know. Last year I let my depression get to a point where I didn't get help and had to leave my apartment, the country I was in, the language I spoke, the only place that was ever actually feeling like home to me. My birth country is only bad memories for...

Is there a way to cope better? Last year I got my shaky finances in a dumpster practically. I wasn't okay, and I made hard situation worse. Anyway. I know I am definitely not the first person in a lot of debt but still building income back up. Which means there is this constant juggling of...

It just feels like I've tried so many times and so much happened last year that I can't take any changes. But without changes everything is terrible right now. I just feel supersensitive and kind of numb at the same time. I have a task to call for first therapy session at a place I found for...

Ok, please bear with me, this is a bit confusing. I feel it will sound rediculuous. But on the other hand I feel stuck, and therefore if anything helps feeling stupid for asking would be worth it. I have always been introvert, and also- I've had anxiety at least since teen. I've been 'more...

I Don't know... I don't know what... I can't...usually I'm better than this... this is so much anxiety it feels like my world is breaking. Like I can't be present if my life depends on it and it might but my body is tingly and nauseous and I can't breathe. I may it die if I postpone all until...

I am terribly anxious, like can't cope with truth anxious and also awake at night when I desperately need help anxious. I have to maaaybe choose to stay where I am 3 more months and that is brutal. Literally I can't deal living the way I'm living right now. I can't keep tolerating all I have...

I've felt like this before, I'm sure, but I'm trying to do better. Like I am dreading something this week and suddenly I'm obsessing for real. My world becomes tiny, my concentration goes out and doing 3 tiny work task takes me all day because thinking about my life currently gives me a stomach...

Things have been hard for a long time. I keep trying but it's exhausting when you put a lot of effort to just keep above water but yet know that if you don't, you drown. Things have been hard for a while. I'm trying to keep going. I no longer feel completely done and helpless like I did last...

Not eventually/with as long as needed but more intentionally? I'm stuck and I'm just digging myself deeper. I was on an upswing for a bit I think and now it's bad for a while. I need to help myself. The longer this goes on the more I abandon even self care activities that help mildly-journaling...

For us on here we often go to anxiety or depression or something else, so I think every small thing that helps is that much more important. What helped you today, or recently? (Coping skill, gift, a book, coping tool etc.)? What made a difference?

I can't spend a dime for food that isn't what I just have at home leftover, I have to work (apply for work) and I still might be in huge trouble for some bills and I'm too depressed to be festive much... Any tips on what to do? Or maybe how to set my thoughts so the holiday season doesn't make...

Does anything help? I've tried the typical things they say for grounding, counting, reciting stuff, sour candy etc... it's helpful but kind of mildly. Like it helps to make things more tolerable but it doesn't snap me out. Lately I'm so frustrated with realities I can't change, that since I...

My budget has been broken all year and I hate it. I am trying to budget and work more and stabilize, but ultimately without savings- one bad week and few life setbacks(winter clothes etc) was enough to lead to a spiral of delayed reactions and postponement and anxiety. I'm trying to give myself...

We have regular heating that is okay-ish. But we are in a house so when it's awful outside(snowstorm etc), we have a wood furnace that you can fire and eventually it overheats the room it's warming and heats up the whole floor. But the smell of like inscents burning (or whatever you do as...

I'm having a hard time. But, I don't want to drown in this feeling. So this is for anyone who wants to join. What is one thing you can do today to make your day or yourself, better? What is something good you can do for yourself, not in the future, but TODAY? Me: I will have a ballet barre...

I'm scared. Few awful things made my already shaky situation worse. Also had few small triggers on top. And now it's like I'm free falling and I can't stop. I'm in freeze response I think. I keep being in autopilot and knowing whatever I do won't be enough. But then being so triggered I can't...

There is a LOT I have gotten over from when I first got PTSD. However there are things I understand, I have analyzed and talked about... there are certain reactions connected to childhood trauma I just never get over. Even when I go through something and it's fine, more than once, it's like my...

I have been on sort of a rollercoaster this year between submitting to problems and trying to improve things. For about month and a half I have been trying and I think today I'm losing it a bit. Or the last couple days. I have been patient. I have set boundaries, even if they weren't always...
