Venting daily anxiety attacks

[nails]

i dont have any drugs/alcohol, my hobbies make me feel worse, trying new hobbies makes me feel worse, i have absolutely no one to talk to even though i reach out quite often.
i say these things all the time, but i just had to get that out of the way because whenever i don't mention it, my vents are met with "distract yourself with a hobby", "find someone to talk to", etc.
i've tried these things, i still try them all of the time out of desperation, it makes things worse.

i can't go a day without having an anxiety attack, it's like it's part of my routine now. it's ruining everything even further. i'm so exhausted all of the time from all of the trembling. i wad already struggling to think straight, snd that's gotten even worse. i start something and then forget why i'm doung it, sometimes i forget that i'm even doing it midway through. i feel like everything i say and type just comes out as nonsense and it's getting hard to interact with people. it's really hard to stand and walk, i feel really weak and sick. i'm constsntly coming down from an anxiety attack or imm abouy to have one, and i cant really function now. i have migraines that wont go away and i want to puke.
i can't even attempt to distract myself most of the time. yhe anxiety hits me as soon i open my eyes in the morning, sometimes even before that. i barely make it through work, and i usually end the day by panicking in tbe restroom. sometimes i end up crying at work becayde the thoughts and anxiety jusy bubble over and it's unavoidable. i cant even explain it yo people, they never understand and it just inconveniences them anyway. they just assume that the job itself is stressing me iut, which isnt relaly the case.

i try to speak about it with people online and that's also yseless. it very quickly becomes boring to deal with someone who is having an anxiety attack each time you yalk yo them. now i get ignored a lot, people are tired of it. i cant blame anyone for wanting to avoid me, its annoying to deal with someone like this. if im noy actively breakign down, i'm occupied with a different task (still fighting these feelings, but busy).

if you have a bit of money to spend you could try over the counter products. good cheap workaround for people who can't access prescription drugs. my anxiety was really debilitating last year and it helped a bit. you could try looking at supplements like l-theanine and ashwagandha (ive never tried the latter but heard its the most effective). certain antihistamines also have a calming effect bc they slow down brain activity, but exercise caution. a lot easier to od on allergy meds than a supplement. besides that js try finding ways to curb anxiety without taking something. try your best and do what works for you. I know anxiety sucks there isn't really a straightforward path to stop it

yeah, i have some old prescriptions that i take when things are really bad or when i get too frustrated, but they make me really drowsy at work. and of course, i'll eventually run out of those meds, so it isn't reliable. i used to use antihistamines for this, but i had the same issue with drowsiness.
i'll look into the supplements you mentioned, i've never tried them. thank you so much, this really helps.

i feel u. i have an anxiety disorder and it is very hard to live with constant panic attacks or just being anxious over nothing. i even had trouble with leaving my house because i was too anxious. if u want to talk, feel free to dm me:) i hope things are going to get better<3 btw u can try ashwaghanda (or however u spell this word) it worked for me when i was not on my meds

Massive hugs to you. I also have this cause two of my conditions have been medically and scientifically proven to activate the part of the brain that is responsible for "fight or flight". It likes to get me as soon as I wake up in the morning which sucks so freaking much.

It's exhausting for sure.

I hope you find something that helps. Outside of psych meds I havent found anything that really helps. Sadly psych meds are a temporary solution at best.

I don't know how bad it is for you, but my anxiety is at the stage where sleeping is a struggle.
