http://www.anxietytribe.comAnxietyTribe.com http://www.anxietytribe.com/rss.php?header=blogs&id=18405 http://www.anxietytribe.com/rss.php?header=blogs&id=18405 So I've realised that mental illness or wat class they give to ocd, anxiety, depression, 'may' mean a lifetime of treatment So I've realised that medication is the answer a lot of times cause there is no other way for some based on the severity and situation So I've realised that life and its circumstances can be a bit too &%*$#% up sometimes, that upon viewing the silver lining, bammmm the dark clouds come out again So I've realised that I may take months to work on my recoveries, but in an instant, I may jus fall again So I've realised that this thing called anxiety and its counterparts and symptoms: depression, ocd, phobias can really take ur life away So I'ver realised that people who never experienced it, can never know what it is like to live this life... So I've realised that:  "fellow persons with these to bear, here are 2 hands, 2 hands that care"  (msg me at anytime, I will be glad to help)   Thu, 25 Nov 2010 00:11:42 -0600 http://www.anxietytribe.com/rss.php?header=blogs&id=17075 http://www.anxietytribe.com/rss.php?header=blogs&id=17075 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lPzAsuWV_XM We have each other on this site.

Tired, hurt, sad, afraid. Im too tired to even correct any typos there may be. I am tired of the struggles, the fears, the heartaches, the unhappiness, the lack of a support, the failures, the untrue friends, the shattered dreams, the loneliness, the physical and mental pain, the lack of gratitude for all my hard worka nd supports, the ...   WHy can't my list stop? Am I too not human? Dont I also deserve a break? Am I not dserving of peace and happiness?     Sun, 13 Jun 2010 22:06:12 -0500 http://www.anxietytribe.com/rss.php?header=blogs&id=16319 http://www.anxietytribe.com/rss.php?header=blogs&id=16319 Good day to all. I would like to find out if anyone here has experience or know of anyone who has relatives with Intellectual Diability but are in the adult stages of life. How have you, or them, dealt with continued care for this person, the changing responsibilities, the medical and legal aspects.   Any info is greatly appreciated.   Thank you Tue, 8 Jun 2010 15:06:08 -0500 http://www.anxietytribe.com/rss.php?header=blogs&id=16305 http://www.anxietytribe.com/rss.php?header=blogs&id=16305 http://www.youtube.com/watch#!v=yEcwWQhm7ZE       Mon, 7 Jun 2010 14:06:10 -0500 http://www.anxietytribe.com/rss.php?header=blogs&id=16284 http://www.anxietytribe.com/rss.php?header=blogs&id=16284 I don't like to go to sleep. Dreams seem so vivid. I meet the people I have been avoiding, thoughts I have been so severely trying to push out of my mind, emotions I have been trying to get away from. Ok so I try hard to start new and get away from those, but damn, dreams just make them seem so real again.   As soon as I open my eyes, I feel intense anxiety or severely depressed that i don't wanna get up so I force myself to sleep back. I try to sleep so much till I cant sleep anymore. So now it seems as though I love sleep, where before i didn't want to go to sleep! HA   Now the dreams have brought up people and situations, emotions and feelings that just surfaced, so my waking hours are now affected. My day revolves around the anxiety, depression, heartache, pain, memories, new thoughts, brought on by those dreams!   WHAT'S THE POINT? Sleep --> Dream --> Vividly brings up past persons with past or potential new situations --> Wake up suddenly --> Intense anxiety or severely feeling depressed --> Entire waking day affected ---> Cycle all over again.   Sun, 6 Jun 2010 12:06:27 -0500 http://www.anxietytribe.com/rss.php?header=blogs&id=16274 http://www.anxietytribe.com/rss.php?header=blogs&id=16274 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7d3wg6R9BDg   needed to share this with everyone, wish u all well   xoxo Sat, 5 Jun 2010 19:06:44 -0500 http://www.anxietytribe.com/rss.php?header=blogs&id=16269 http://www.anxietytribe.com/rss.php?header=blogs&id=16269 When things happ, it's never fair, never even. Those who are hateful, heartless, insensitive, proseper the most. Those who suffer, full of heartache and anxious and depressed are the ones who hurt but we are sensitive, sweet, fair, full of love even when we feel we have no more energy. We lay in bed and try to let it all pass hopefully. They are out there having a time of their lives. making the most of it. Achieving their dreams. And the pain they may feel from time to time is nothing compared to our 10 fold depression. We are brought up by society and schools teaching us to 'play fair' but, heartbreak, life, every negative emotion and circumstance is "never even".   Sat, 5 Jun 2010 12:06:58 -0500 http://www.anxietytribe.com/rss.php?header=blogs&id=16260 http://www.anxietytribe.com/rss.php?header=blogs&id=16260 Has anyone here ever had a romantic relationship with a narcissist and was able to break free ?  How did you successfully go through the break-up and away from the torment of the thoughts and emotions of such person and the relationship? A break-up is already diff but from a narcissist is just torture...

Not even a small bit. Continued job hunting, post relationship break-up (2 weeks) depression , post exam anxiety, sever back pain no diagnosis yet (2 injections and on medication). Trying so hard to make things ok, and no matter how much I try to make a step in the right direction, nothing's working out :(          *sighs Wed, 2 Jun 2010 13:06:07 -0500 http://www.anxietytribe.com/rss.php?header=blogs&id=16123 http://www.anxietytribe.com/rss.php?header=blogs&id=16123 I still havent slept, yes I tried. Been lying on the couch for the past few hours, but nothing. Oh well, what can I do? Millions of thoughts racing through my mind, the physical symptoms, the butterflies in my chest, the pain in my neck. Yes we try, we try therapy, meds; but depresson, anxiety, ocd, can they ever be "cured'? Right now I am in a very depressive state, if not for family committments, wrt the role I play and the duties I must carry out, I wonder if I might have tried to make myself disappear already? Sometimes I think about that Tue, 25 May 2010 04:05:30 -0500 http://www.anxietytribe.com/rss.php?header=blogs&id=16121 http://www.anxietytribe.com/rss.php?header=blogs&id=16121 I am lying here, a severe back pain, butterflies in my chest , neck pain, tingling sensations in my fingers and arms. Why call it mental illness? Just call it PAIN. Cause it sure hurts, mentally and physically. Do we not deserve the right to relaxation? A cut can heal. A wound can heal. The scar can disappear. But no, we can never erase our minds' pains can we? Tue, 25 May 2010 04:05:56 -0500 http://www.anxietytribe.com/rss.php?header=blogs&id=16108 http://www.anxietytribe.com/rss.php?header=blogs&id=16108 I am going through post break-up depression, anxiety, heartache...etc. It is tough. But believe me, I know that it is just a small glitch compared to life's other obstacles and challenges. Dad passed on long time ago, mom who has been extremely depressed and can't take stress since, brother (saviour, ill at one point, whose illness may be likely to occur), ill sister. Victimization in the workplace. Relatives who have always lived distant. Friends who always seem to disappear at the most convenient times. Suffering with depression, anxiety, being pure-o ocd. Etc, etc,etc... Relationships seem as if they are the only things which I can choose. However I am still not able to sway its direction towards my happiness. I have been "blessed with bad luck", if I may. I make choices but in the process of the relations, I always receive the short end of the stick. Not only have I been having this experience since 18 but it seems as though it is continuing as I go through life. How could they live normally after, even prosper, become more successful, thrive, with me living in a dark world? Yes everyone has their bad days but in comparison, these people seem to prosper more, the more they are bad. I struggle, I do. I have to put up a fight for everything I want and you know what, most times I fail, I don't get things, don't matter how hard I try. Worked straight out off school, saved up to go college, worked again, restarted school. Now as you may guessed yes....have to work again to save money again. (don't have to say how job hunting is in today's economic situation). Society says work hard for what you want, knowledge is power, etc. So how come I try to look at all angles and push myself to the limit only to fail in the end? How come I am always turned down? I am really feeling depressed, hurt , alone. This relationship made me feel as though I was not good enough. Maybe because I did not possess certain things, idk... This is my first blog ever, not only on this site, but generally. In the next one I would write about relationship alone. Too much to say... I just really feel down and out > life, what have I ever done to deserve this? There is never a day when I can just "smile only". Mon, 24 May 2010 08:05:50 -0500
