I also wanted to ask when someone has never lived alone and has had awful anxiety attacks since they were a kid what's the best thing to do?
Should they get a roommate or idk. Could someone tell me cause they have so much to deal with hurt wise ...and having those panic attacks so much n awful lately
This question is a month old. Worthless wrote a series of "interesting" questions at that time, all in a row. I believe she never came back for her answers. If I am wrong do let me know, but she seemed to have disappeared.
Your profile says you take care of mom? You live with her?
I know you can live with someone but be terribly, terribly alone.
Therapy is helpful, maybe even medication. I don't suggest you begin drinking b/c the aftereffects are worse than the base cause.
I am not sure of the question. Are you living alone now and never have before or you're facing it?
As an adult who has had panic attacks since I was a kid--it's a rotten way to live and feel.
I would have a terrible time living with a roommate, unless it were my older sister, she is probably the only person who is the calmest best option. For me, being around a lot of people makes the anxiety much, much, much worse.
Come back and share more. Others will have better answers than mine.
Worthless had a whole group of quite "interesting posts" in mid August. This is from them. I think that she has not returned since then. Not certain. If anyone knows differently let me know.
I also agree with getting a pet,, you wont feel so alone. and they are great cuddlers ,, dogs more so than cats. But they need to be walked, and you may meet some new friends. I also like the condo idea.. you have your own space, but there are people around you if you think you need help.. get to know your neighbors. My DD bought a condo , and she loves it
You may like living alone. I do. My advice is to live in an apartment or condo...instead of a house, (so that u have more sense of community, & less isolation). The key is: be sure the landlord screens tenants well, or it can really backfire. (You don't want to be surrounded by crazy neighbors). Having a pet wud prob help u.
Worthless, Are you trying to scramble my personal brain? Because I gotta tell you, that isn't difficult to do these days. Your last two questions knocked me out, so I am leaving this other last one to the gang. I know you are going to get some GREAT answers. Hugs.
