Does anyone have good coping methods with...

Alyssa

Hi all,

I have been experiencing severe chest aches from anxiety/what I think is depression to where it feels like someone is sitting on my chest and pressing or pressing down on my heart.

I'm wondering, outside of going to see a doctor, if there is anything you guys do that helps calm that feeling down.

I used to meditate/repeat to myself that I was loved, i was healthy, and i dont need to feel these things and it would decrease it significantly. Now, it does nothing.

I had an episode where I got sh*t face drunk and rocked/cried myself to sleep not being able to say anything but 'you're a failure' on repeat until I passed out and since then I have just not been able to shake any of these feelings.

My partner is really understanding thankfully and does all he can to help keep me in a good head space, to be honest he doesnt have to do much. He is my rock and light in all things.

And I'm sorry for complaining on here, I know there are people on here with greater anxiety and depression, but I appreciate anything you guys have to say. I'm just sick of feeling like this and crying all the time.
