I just feel like I'm going completely insane. When things don't go as I planned, I get so angry and frustrated that I start to yell at whoever is around me. I'm an anxious person at the best of times but never this extreme.
I try to let it all go but it's very hard for me. Especially in combination with CFS since often things don't go as planned because of that.
Are there tips so I can handle things not going as planned.

I'm used to be just like this as I too have CFS. When I got angry I'd just stop myself, take a deep breathe, close your eyes if you need to and calm yourself down. It's bought on by focusing on what you CAN'T do rather than what you CAN do.

Work on that and things will get better :).

LB,

Hello and welcome!

I am so sorry to hear about the anxiety that you are suffering! I know how it feels, and yes, it does help to talk with others who have gone through similar feelings and circumstances....so great job on reaching out here to us! :)

We are a caring and supportive community and will be here to listen and support you in any way that we can!

What have you tried in terms of anxiety management in the past?

-I tried the counting to 10,
-Taking my mind of things by doing other things that I don't have to worry about,
-Meditation (which is great, but not when I'm losing my head over things that can't happen when I planned them)
-Running
-anti-anxiety medication (which made it worse)
-throw stuff that can't get broken
-yell in a pillow

When I'm in a mood like that, that doesn't work unfortunately panic'in

We do the same feelings. I want to scream loudly that no one can stop me jut to release my extreme anxiety . what i always do is to relax all the time when the things i planned wont happen.
