Anxiety is a relentless monster that many of us grapple with on a daily basis. And what better outlet than The Confessional? Here, you can express your feelings without fear of judgment—a common concern for those of us who deal with anxiety. No need for face-to-face conversations or phone calls (yikes!), and you might just discover confessions that resonate with your own anxious, irrational, and socially awkward experiences. To kick things off, here are some relatable confessions from fellow anxiety warriors.
You’re not alone in this battle…
Confession #1:
“I used to openly share that I struggle with anxiety, but now I’ve stopped. It seems like everyone is anxious these days, and I don’t want to blend in with the crowd.”
As anyone who has faced anxiety knows, it doesn’t require a valid reason to throw your mental and emotional state into chaos. Anxiety doesn’t discriminate based on past experiences; it’s always lurking, ready to strike.
Confession #2:
“It’s frustrating how the tiniest things that others brush off send me into a tailspin of anxiety.”
Confession #3:
“Just four months ago, I was feeling optimistic and happy. Now? I’m battling depression, anxiety, and exhaustion. It’s astonishing how rapidly mental states can shift for seemingly no reason at all.”
Anxiety has a way of amplifying even the most rational fears, particularly related to our health.
Confession #4:
“How do I stop myself from interpreting every little ache or blemish as a sign of a terrible disease? Of course, a quick Google search just makes it worse. The anxiety is unbearable.”
Confession #5:
“I’m convinced I have breast cancer due to my overwhelming health anxiety. It’s a struggle I need to overcome.”
Parenting, even for those who are not naturally anxious, can be a daunting task. For those of us with heightened nerves, the challenges multiply.
Confession #6:
“I feel like I’m failing as a mom lately—yelling too much, glued to my phone instead of my child, just feeling unmotivated. Although I’m probably doing okay, my anxiety tells me I’m a terrible parent and that’s all anyone sees.”
Confession #7:
“My anxiety is affecting my kids. I’m constantly worried about accidents, illnesses, and even kidnapping. I really need help.”
Confession #8:
“My daughter and I both struggle with anxiety, which makes things worse. When she feels anxious, I start feeling anxious for her. Managing both of our anxieties is incredibly tough.”
From mundane errands to social gatherings, human interaction can sometimes feel overwhelming. We long for connection but dread the conversations that come with it.
Confession #9:
“I cancel 90% of social plans due to my anxiety and depression, yet I’m sure my friends think I’m just being rude.”
Confession #10:
“I feel sorry for my friends. I’m anxious, depressed, and lonely, making me tough to be around. I feel guilty for putting them through this.”
Confession #11:
“I experience such severe social anxiety that talking to anyone I don’t know well is embarrassing. I encounter people everywhere and just want to run my errands without any interaction!”
Confession #12:
“I’d love a day where I don’t obsess over every interaction, analyzing how I was awkward or unlikable. Social anxiety is the worst.”
And let’s not forget the anxiety that comes with phone calls—just the sound of a ringing phone can trigger panic.
Confession #13:
“My anxiety makes phone conversations impossible. I feel pressured and worry that I’ll say something stupid without time to think. Please just text me!”
Confession #14:
“I don’t struggle with social anxiety, but phone anxiety is real. I have to rehearse before making or taking calls, and I’m 42 years old!”
Even when we try to shelter ourselves at home, anxiety can still find a way to invade our space.
Confession #15:
“I’m a minimalist who hates clutter because I grew up in a chaotic household. ‘Stuff’ gives me anxiety.”
Confession #16:
“I could either keep reminding you to pick up after yourself, or you could just do it. Either way, I thought my anxiety would guide you to the right choice. Seriously!”
When anxiety creeps in, seeking help is not only okay—it’s necessary. For some, this may even mean medication.
Confession #17:
“I know we live in an overmedicated society, but I will never judge anyone for the medications they take. For me, the meds are the reason I’m still here.”
Confession #18:
“I took the step to seek help for my anxiety and depression. The darkness was so oppressive today that it made me feel physically ill. I just need to see someone!”
Confession #19:
“I battle severe anxiety and depression. Cannabis has helped me manage it better than traditional medicine ever has, and I’m grateful to live in a place where it’s legal!”
Remember when we mentioned that “everyone has anxiety”? Well, it seems that even our pets are feeling it!
No matter how we cope (or don’t) with anxiety, there’s solace in knowing that, despite feeling isolated, we are never truly alone in our struggles.
