Anxiety.........

[jd_1984]

I have always been the type of person who bottles things up and doesn’t admit that I have a worry or problem. I will stick any problems in to the back of my mind and almost pretend that the problem doesn’t exist. I have been doing this all of my life. I don’t tend to share concerns as I feel that it may show a weakness to other people. Recently though, I feel like this technique of trying not to worry and avoidding confronting my problems is all catching up with me, if you imagine a box and every problem you have, despite how big or small, is tossed in the box. It is as though the box is now full and any little trigger or small problem is causing the box to overflow, meaning that I am experiencing anxiety. A little problem that I would usually put to the back of my mind is causing/triggering years of worry to catch up with me!

Is this common?? I feel it is time to face up to some demons and therefore be able to move on. I have felt like this 3 times now this year, so its clearly an issue that needs addressing. I am going from great highs to almost epic lows!! When I am low I really need to dig in just to be able to go to work and give the illusion that all is well. The anxiety lasts for a few days and I start to really worry about the future and relationships that I have etc......

However, I dont feel that I need to see my GP or seek any help. I hope I can just have the mental strength to move forward.

Anyone felt like this, how did you clear your mind and move forward??

i think you should go and see your gp, not to neccesarily get medication but to talk to them and see what they advise

hope things get better for you though x
