CTB due to crippling anxiety?

[shay23]

I've tried medication and therapy but I just can't seem to end this anxiety which ruins every part of my life, I can't pass my driving test or keep down a job or keep friendships. I just want to stay in my room locked away doing nothing. I have anxiety about death as well so I'm just stuck in this limbo of wanting to die but being to scared. I have no quality of life and haven't in years. I wish there was just a button to end my existence.

I relate so much to this; actually this is exactly me. Nothing has worked for me either. Anxiety really does suck. It sucks that it makes life unbearable, and death very difficult.
I'm sorry you have to go through this. You're not alone. I hope that we, and everyone else dealing with this, can find peace from this anxiety, in one way or another.

Thank you so much for sharing that with me, if you ever need to talk with someone who understands then my messages are always open for you. I'm sorry you are struggling too, anxiety is a horrible and deliberating illness that is often misunderstood. Sending lots of love and light, I hope we can get through anxiety some day. It's annoying when people why I don't get help but I've literally tried everything!

I deal with this as well. I'm being driven insane by relentless anxiety, fear and panic. Also too scared to CTB. Do you drink caffeine? It can make anxiety worse. I've been off of it 3 months though and haven't seen any improvement

Sorry you suffer with this too! I've tried cutting caffeine out but like you I didn't see any improvement, caffeine makes me more anxious when I drink it but cutting it out didn't get rid of anxiety! I'm constantly in a state of fear.

Opioids & zopiclone (but not zolpidem or zaleplon) are the only things that help for me.
Clonidine and his cousin tizanidine might also help, they block noradrenaline/adrenaline.

Thanks so much I might try to suggest these next.

It's like you just vented my thoughts, this is basically me right now

Got in accident now I'm even more afraid of driving, afraid of working more awful crap jobs, now I'm afraid of even existing and just constantly feel anxious. Haven't been to doctor or dentist in a long time and too afraid to try to get therapy, though I'm broke so idk how that will work. I'm just tired of existing.

NDEs kinda made me feel a little better about death as well as researching painless methods. If I ever manage to make an appt maybe that will help but I see so many saying it's useless.

I'd love that off button too!

I'm sorry you are suffering too, I'm sorry about your accident that sounds traumatic. I hope we can all get out of this cycle of anxiety but it's so hard. Bless you, I wish there was more help available for people like us. I know how tiring it can be so please message me if you ever need to talk, always here!
