Living with Anxiety. Why Can’t I Hold it Together? What is Wrong with Me?

You don’t know how people do it. It seems like everyone else around you has their sh*t together but you. On the outside, you seem fine- keeping that smile on your face. Inside, you feel like you’re losing your mind.

You can’t think straight. Your mind feels like it has a thousand and one thoughts all at once. The word “overwhelm” doesn’t even begin to describe what you’re experiencing. Not only do you worry about your own life, but you feel responsible for everyone else’s feelings and sh*t too.

The Anxiety is just too much.  

Your mind is a constant stream of worrying. The “What Ifs?” are endless. You wish you knew how to make the worry, dread and fear just stop. At night, you pray that sleep will bring you some relief; some solace from the racing thoughts. Yet when you lay down and close your eyes, sleep doesn’t come. It takes you hours to just fall asleep. When you do sleep, it doesn’t bring relief.

Then there’s the panic. You’ve had panic attacks more often than you can count. They are terrifying. You wish you could just relax but don’t know how.

You just want to scream when people tell you to just “calm down”, “It’s not that big of a deal”, and “There’s nothing to worry about”. Don’t they realize that if you knew how to make it stop, you would? You’re tempted to respond with, “Don’t you already think I’ve tried that?!?”.

You envy the people who just can “turn it off” and not get so upset. How do they do it? How do they not get plagued by everything? There just isn’t a shortage of things to worry or get upset about.

Everything in your life feels so out of control and run by anxiety

You’ve tried to just “think more positively” and not “overreact”, but it doesn’t work. You’re constantly on edge, and man oh man, you are irritable. You’ve lost your sh*t on more than one occasion and took it out on the people you love.

What Philadelphia therapist is best for anxiety?

Through Dialectical Behavior Therapy, I help people whose anxiety has become a living nightmare- who’ve tried just about everything to make the anxiety and panic go away.

My clients have been through it all. They are exhausted physically, mentally, and emotionally. They are drained. They are desperate for relief.

Anxiety and Panic do not have to ruin your life.

Which Philadelphia therapy is best for anxiety?

It may feel impossible to believe that your life can get better. You’ve been operating this way for such a long time. I know you’ve tried everything to find relief and are desperate for a change.

Finding the right anxiety therapist for you can feel overwhelming, especially when you’ve been told to just “Calm down” or “Stop worrying” your whole life. You may have even been told you’re purposely trying to be miserable or that you’re not trying hard enough. 

Is it worth seeing a Philadelphia therapist for anxiety?

Here’s the thing.

When you’ve been told by everyone else that in order to feel better, you just need to tell yourself to not worry or be anxious, it can feel so dreadful putting yourself out there to find help. The last thing you want to do is to pay money and be told those very same things by a professional.

Anxiety is treatable.

Anxiety Therapy in Philadelphia

The reality is that life is stressful. It isn’t always pretty. People are not able to simply instruct themselves to not be anxious, worry, or be overwhelmed. If they are, I’m going to guess that that won’t be effective in the long run.

Life is not free of pain. You can learn how to skillfully deal with life’s problems more effectively, so you don’t continue to suffer.
