Feeling really down

[Ggirlangel93]

Im having such a bad day and just need to vent. I woke up feeling anxious and miserable. My family is hanging out in the living room and im sitting in my bedroom crying and isolating myself. When I get in this kind of mood i get mad at everyone and everything. Its frustrating when your family doesn't understand what its like having an anxiety disorder. It makes me sad that while everyone else is happy, laughing, having fun, living their normal lives, im alone in my room being depressed. I know how selfish that is but i cant help it. I wish i could be a normal person like everyone else. Almost everyday i dont feel good with all different physical symptoms. I also happen to be PMSing this week which makes me more anxious and emotional than usual. Anxiety is just such a lonely feeling. Does anyone else relate to all this?

Hi Ggirlangel93. This is the place to vent so don't ever feel uncomfortable doing it here. We've just got debilitating at times anxiety. It effects us both emotionally and physically. We like to control everything and when we can't, our anxiety increases. And that includes when we can't control our anxiety. Makes things very frustrating. You're just in a funk and hopefully you'll get past it soon.

I definitely get it. We can't help but feel angry that everyone looks so comfortable and happy while we are suffering everyday with anxiety. My parents dont get it either and if I talk to someone about it eventually they get annoyed. Although in reality much like us, theres also others who may look happy and normal but inside they're also in turmoil. What we have to do is take life into our own hands and demand it to give us lemons! lol As in make ourselves get out of that state of mind even if we dont feel like doing it. We have to make ourselves. Visit a friend, walk around the mall, go to a coffee shop or simply sit around your family.

Eventually we will start to feel better simply by changing our routines. But we can all definitely relate.

Hope this helps

Be kind to yourself. You're allowed to work through it, you're allowed to isolate (as long as it doesnt become a problem) and you're allowed to be frustrated. I have been there and I feel like the worst part is the internal battle.

I also have a bad habit of seeing people laughing and joking and i wish I could be like them and why did God make me like this and why do I have to suffer. I even do it with sleep. I'm awake at night for hrs on end and I hear people snoring or someone will say man I slept like a log. I've come to realize that we don't know what another person is going through at any given moment they could me having a terrible time and are just better at hiding it. The truth is everyone on earth is fighting a tough battle yours is just really hard right now.

Anxiety is hard, I’ve been dealing with it since I was a kid and all my life I just wanted to be normal, but normal isn’t luxury those with anxiety can often afford. So instead embrace who you are and be proud of the challenges you’ve overcome to make it this far. My anxiety is part of who I am regardless of whether I like it or not. A friend of mine told me something today that stuck with me “The best way to live is to be unapologetically you.”
