Hi, I am new on here and have suffered anxiety all my life. I had a brief month of being free from anxiety when I was 20 but slowly sank down to a worse episode again that has lasted 31 years. I have tried everything even praying but anxiety is sill present in my everyday life. Sometimes it has me bedridden which has caused me career wise, when it is mild I can cope but regardless of what I do or how good my life is going it will hit out of the blue and paralyize me. I was hopeful that it would go away completely again but now I know it never will. Life is hard enough but when I am in constant fear it's beyond hard. I hate the fact that it has defined my personality and my life as I feel cheated out of my true Self and the life I was supposed to live. I actually hate talking like this but I can't deny my feelings and thoughts on this any longer and pretend I am ok. I do believe this is a Hell on earth having this illness and it takes way too much of my energy to fight this all the time. If anyone on here has any ideas then I would appreciate it very much. Thank You.
