This weekend my anxiety has been really bad and I don't know why. Yesterday one of my really good friends had a grad party and I really wanted to go but my brain was like "no it'll be dumb if you go" and " she won't even want you there". I feel bad that I didn't go when I told her that I'd be there. And today me and a friend had plans to hang out. And this is someone who I think I am starting to like and I'm pretty sure he likes me. But my anxiety was still really bad so I told him I was sick and couldn't go. All weekend I've been in my room just lying in bed listening to music. I only came out one time out if the whole day. I just feel so defeated and pathetic. I want to do something but my anxiety is preventing it.

I'm super sorry your anxiety has worsened lately but I'd suggest doing this: take a walk in the morning and night for two weeks. Music or no music. Maybe bring a waterbottle. And don't shoot urself down for feeling this way, we've been there before Too. I hope this helps ❤
ReplyAnxiety is a REAL enemy.
I’m fighting that bastard myself.
I gave mine a name so that I could disassociate it from mySELF.
YOU want to be present and love people, and that bitch/asshole (anxiety) keeps you from doing what you want!!??!!
Just know that you’re not alone.
ReplyMy mom talked to me about one of her friends sender her son to an anxiety clinic. At the clinic, all they do is make them do what they're afraid of, like talking to people in public or ordering food from a restaurant. But why go to a camp to do something you could do everyday? I feel hypocritical right now because I'm not good at this either, but try doing the things that make you the most scared. I heard it helps. Let me know if it does! We're here for you.
ReplySounds like you have social anxiety. I wish I had the cure for it, the truth is everyone handles it differently. I too have it, and I'm 36 years old.
My anxiety stems from me weighing 600 lbs and not knowing if the chairs where I am going will hold me or not (or if I can even fit in them), and if the bathroom is big enough. I've broken chairs in public before, and it is extremely humiliating.
I don't know what makes you anxious, but try to figure that out. That may be the key to overcoming it.
ReplyI have really bad anxiety too so I know this exact situation. My advice is to just do it! You have to ignore your anxiety. I was freaking out with anxiety on my way to meet my boyfriends family. I almost texted him 4 times to cancel but everytime I deleted it and kept getting ready. I drove there and the whole time I was giving myself a pep talk even if I didnt believe in my own words. I was sweaty and nervous and ready to cry but once I got there I hid all those emotions and sold it. My boyfriend was so happy to see me and I was happy I went. You gotta push through.
