I started to exsperince anxiety in 99 this was a hard year, and in that year I had more surgeries then I could count. I was dealing with being bullied as well as switching to a school I didn't want to go to, in this same year I lost 2aunts and my grandmother as well as my grandfather. And my dad every time I turned around I was at a funeral, losing them five days a part this was the year silly but true Iearned in a dramatic way that everyone doesn't live forever.
Became a hard pill to swallow because I just didn't understand I with truth don't think anyone will ever, I believe anyone who says they do is lying and trying to find away to cover their pain. So yes for 15 years now I've been living in constant fear off and on, some years okay and then others in a constant battle to find balance and do my best to stay sain. I saw the question asked to hundreds are you surviving are living, same as are you living are just existing and I found myself asking me that question and got a answer that I didn't like but the worse thing we can do is know the truth and do nothing about it. So when you know the problem is deep within you, and no medicine has fixed it then it is time to ask one self what must we do to better and get our life back so we can start living and not just existing and find the solution and fix the problem.

I think most of us have deeply-buried stuff in there, some more than others. Sounds like you had it really rough for awhile! What are some of the things today that you like to do or think you might like to do?

It can be a fine line between existing and really living. Going from day to day and checking off the list of things you're expected to do isn't the same as having things you look forward to. Some things that can help - friends, family, pets, activities. You're right that medicine can't fix everything. Have you tried meditation or therapy?

Sounds like you've been through some rough patches....sending you prayers...... May you find peace and start to live rather than exist!

All people experience sad things in life though, also gain the power to overcome anything.
The reason of anxiety is mostly stacking our feelings and reactions which are caused by our ways of thinking.

There are two types of vicious circles for us anxious people. First, the bad cycle where we tend to only think negative, fear (health issues, future, accidents, etc) and keep on looping in the cycle where we never able to enjoy life... or
Second, the good cycle where we force ourselves to focus on life, the things we are doing to train our minds and thoughts so that we can think positive and enjoy life.

It's just a matter of what we pick. When we are feeling anxiety/panic/depressive, it's really very hard to force ourselves to enjoy life. Besides, trying to find answers to all of those questions we have in mind about life and death, is too weary. But still I believe it's in our control to change everything.
A little bit of medication and therapy help alongside thought training and habitual changes is usually very successful.

But let's do our best, OK? It is definitely positive to reverse that looping cycle, and enjoy life.
Hope you really feel better.
