Mental health

Anxiety

Im clinically diagnosed with GAD. It started on pandemic days. Im experiencing panic and anxiety attacks.

The reason why i developed this? That i cant discuss it anymore because its too personal.
Many people have suffered and struggle so much on pandemic.

Before im already hearing about anxiety and depression but when i experienced it myself? I feel bad because i have judged the people who is experiencing this. I said before that this is not true your just putting thoughts to your head.

But now, that i am in their shoes its really different and difficult. I have fears, fears of going outside alone, eating some foods. Im just scared like i dont know why. There is symptoms like you will feel suddenly, like palpipations, light headed feeling that im gonna pass out. My hands and feet will feel numb, sometimes hot flashes, You will feel nervous, then you will overthink like what is happening why im feeling like this am i gonna die? The symptoms is like your having a heart attack.

The saddest part is that psychiatrist is very pricey here, even if i want to have psycho therapy i cant afford. Im not taking medication i dont want to be dependent.
2 years with this anxiety im still struggling but there is changes already. I can now control my fears. I am now learning to control my self and my mind. im researching how to calm myself.

Just be kind to everyone, We dont know what problems they are facing, Always check your loved ones. Say hi to them say how are you. If you can give them a hug, ITS REALLY A BIG HELP

I post this to educate others that MENTAL HEALTH is really important. When you have a healthy mind, everything follows. It all starts in MIND. When you are thingking positive, always thingking and seeing all the good in life.

If you have any questions feel free to reply and comment. I will be happy to share my experiences to all of you

I was diagnosed with PTSD after some very rough experiences in my life.

Having an invisible illness is hard.

Stay strong.

With all the hardships and struggles i had and having now i dont know if one time in my life i can say i suffered from anxiety or depression maybe yes but very very light i know have to fight against it and dont allow to eat my existence bcoz i have my children i have to be strong for them and the only thing that i ever put in my mind everyday i wake up is "LIFE HAS TO GO ON" no matter what life throws at me
