Anxiety disorder

[brian8713]

Anyone following my posts knows I have an extreme anxiety disorder and panic attacks. I also have depression, possibly as a byproduct of the anxiety. I think I have borderline personality, though I haven't been officially diagnosed. I'm having a particularly rough day today, so any support from you guys would mean a lot.

I have been trying to sleep with a CPAP on but haven't had much success. My body keeps wanting to take the mask off and I oblige. So, in 10 hours of sleep, I spend about 1 hour with the CPAP on. I'm worried I won't be able to adjust to it, which is a big problem because my boyfriend can't stand to hear me snoring at night.

So, I woke up exhausted this morning at 7am. Boyfriend called me, and I know he means well, but I am NOT NOT NOT a morning person. I think his call caused a bit of anxiety for me and I ended up becoming nauseous and vomiting. The good news is I haven't done that in over a month so there are signs that I'm getting better, but the bad news is I vomited. I've been doing it since I was a little kid so maybe I should just grow to accept that it's a part of who I am.

Anyways, having some extreme anxiety today. On the maximum dose of my meds but I'd say they're only half-working. I wish they worked a lot better. Why do psychological issues have to be such a challenge? I have days where I'm mostly fine and then days like today where I just want to hide from the world. Unfortunately, I'm at work, so I'm making the best of my circumstances and trying to make the day go by as quickly as possible.

I feel for you I know exactly what you're talking about I have Lupus and Ms and now I'm battling vertigo and it's just way more than I can take my doctor is putting me on a new anxiety medicine and taking me off two of my other ones to see if it will help I stay stressed all the time and it's just no fun I don't want to go anywhere or do anything I just want to be left alone. I hope you get to feeling better soon and my prayers will be with you

Hi Brian.First may i ask are you a man?Also do u have any idea what might be triggering the attacks?Sometimes its right under our nose what causes them and yet we overlook them.I also believe that the right medication can help even tho i am not one who wants to be too dependent on them all the time.

I stress prayers said to Jehovah the TRUE God in Jesus name can also help.The bible says he can give us power beyond what is normal as long as our prayers are said in accordance to HIS will.He understand we are sinners and made from dust,but made in HIS image.

Your answers back to me may help me understand the problem more and id like to do my best in figuring out how we can help.The anxiety i went thru was NO fun.I can relate well.I like myself much better today for understanding and putting to an end what caused my pain then.

I know you a cpap, have you tried Vicks salve under your nose to open your airways?  It might work for the snoring.
Little steps.

Yes, I am a man. I've heard that mental health is like a roller coaster, and that's definitely the case for me. I have good days, and I have bad days where I feel absolutely miserable. Today is one of those days. What causes it? Like I said, the call from my boyfriend seemed to set me off, which you think would make me happy, but I guess I just worry I'm gonna screw this relationship up like every relationship I've had in the past.

The right medication does help, but it doesn't help enough. I know expecting my life to be perfect is pretty outrageous, but I just get sick of living in fear all the time. I'm a nice person and only want good for other people. I don't deserve to be punished like this.

That’s not unheard of. I’ve had anxiety with syncope for more than two (2) years now after having had one heck of a hard time with enhancing my reasoning skills, but I have been mentally strengthening a little every day since I cut down on thinking so excessively.

Over 30 yrs ago i had a bad problem in gambling.It led to other destructive behavior that i wont reveal.I was stubborn with the gambling.I always thought i could get the better of it.What a fool i was.

So now u have told me you are a man and mentioned u have a boyfriend.So then i assume you are gay.I realize in todays world that being gay is accepted more then ever then 50 yrs ago.

Here is what the apostle Paul said that might help.

“When I wish to do what is right, what is bad is present with me.”​—ROMANS 7:21.

I'm so sorry to hear this Try to stay strong, think positive thoughts, do things you love, and be around great people. Remember there is nothing wrong with reaching out for professional help. You don't have to do this but just know there is no shame in doing so.

I don't have a problem with anything you said. You wish me peace and wish me well. While you didn't make your thoughts on homosexuality totally clear, I will say if you have some reservations about it .... I do too. *Shock.* A reluctant gay person?! I thought they were all in your face and naked on floats throwing rainbows at people.

I've reached a point in my life where I'm proud of who I am, but I think a lot of gays take it too far, and I also consider myself a Christian.

What's interesting is I've had issues with gambling a few times I've gone to casinos. Lost $500 before. I'm going to Vegas in January, but literally setting a gambling limit of $20 on myself. Once I lose $20, I'm done with gambling for the trip. Don't know what else I'll do ... watch a lot of tv? But I don't feel like losing money I've worked very hard to earn.

I've already reached out for professional help. Been seeing doctors and a therapist for over 20 years now. Like I said, I probably should just accept the fact that anxiety will always be a part of me. I just wish I could calm down. It's not fun living life like this.

Brian my stance on homosexuality is what the bible regards it as.Un-natural.

I brought it up with you cos even tho we dont know it our inner conscience may and thus it has an effect on our behavior.

But in all fairness to you,your anxiety might be brought on by something physical as well.I was just using myself as an example when i had bad anxiety.I went and got checked by Drs and got clean bill....finally i realized my conscience was bothering me and i didnt like myself.The gay life-style can cause that and again i am not diagnosing you...just asking you to take a look into the root of the problem.If you find what it is you can have better results fixing it.

And remember this,God hates the sin.....and hopes we try and do something about it and even asks us to ask him for his help.

I have friends that are gay and have no problem.Its like i wont let u smoke in my car.But we can still be friends you say to a smoker thats a friend.And if it gets far enuff where i need to give my view on it i have no problem saying so backed up by bible.

That's fine, but I'm here to discuss anxiety, not debate homosexuality -- and whether you approve or not frankly doesn't make a difference because good advice can be found in just about everyone.

I would love to find the root of the problem. BELIEVE ME, I have my own issues with my sexuality. I think both of my parents are alcoholics because I'm gay. I recently introduced my parents to my boyfriend, a very lovely young man, and I know they liked him but at the same time I felt guilt I wasn't bringing a woman home for them to meet.

I'm a Christian so your opinions do not bother me. I believe God loves all His children and religion is about peace and tolerance. Others disagree, but in a nutshell, religion is about finding a set of values you agree with and I feel comfortable calling myself a gay Christian.

[hitch0403]

So then Brian i guess you believe in God.....but dont support bible?

I am not debating homosexuality.My stance is in Gods eyes its wrong backed up by his word.Nothing more simpler then that.Even tho we live in a world where many wanna just support part of the bible...LOL!That makes no sense...but as Satan deceived Eve and told her she was better off deciding for herself what was good and bad,that spirit is quite prevalent in the world today on many issues...not only the gay one.

But thanx for the chat and again i meant well.....im always here and feel comfy to chat with me anytime.I hope your issues get better.

I believe in God and support the Bible. Just have a different interpretation of religion than you.

I appreciate your time and am glad to have your support. It means a lot.

I have anxiety some times. Hate those sites that say your anxious about money ,people a problem. No I can be anxious because it's tuesday or no reason at all. I take gabapentin  for legs that sometimes feel hot. I think it helps with anxiety so take 2 a day.  Hardly have the leg problem anymore that's good. Only good thing about anxiety is I get up to clean can't sit still.  Feel better soon.
